I know someone asked for this, sometime -- it's a list of all of the books we bought, from their original publishers or other rights-holders, this month. They obviously won't be available to members for a little while -- we need some time to make the books and so on -- but I can at least let you know that they're coming. (So there won't be links now, or for quite some time.) They're in no particular order; this is the way a computerized report lists them, which I think is in order by a secret code number.

• The Jack Vance Treasury edited by Terry Dowling and Jonathan Strahan, a massive compendium of the Grand Master's best short fiction
• The Assassin King by Elizabeth Haydon, sixth book in the series started with Rhapsody
• A March Into Darkness by Robert Newcomb, middle book of his current trilogy
• The Tough Guide to Fantasyland, Revised Edition by Diana Wynne Jones, which belongs on every SFF reader's bookshelf, even more so in this great new edition
• Star Wars: Allegiance by Timothy Zahn, a novel set between the first Star Wars movie (the one I refuse to call by its current title) and The Empire Strikes Back
• Final Impact by John Birmingham, the finale of his military SF time-travel trilogy
• The Elysium Commission by L.E. Modesitt, Jr., a standalone SF novel
• Brass Man by Neal Asher, a great adventure novel set in his Polity universe
• Command Decision by Elizabeth Moon, the new book in the "Vatta's War" series
• Rats and Gargoyles by Mary Gentle, for our "50th Anniversary Collection"
• Star Wars Omnibus: X-Wing Rogue Squadron Volume 1 edited by Randy Stradley and written and drawn by more people than I can list here, a big fat collection of Star Wars comics
• Deliverer by C.J. Cherryh, the ninth "atevi" novel
• The Complete Hammer's Slammers, Volume Two by David Drake, collecting the first three novels in the series
• A Cruel Wind by Glen Cook, an omnibus of the first three "Dread Empire" novels

Those are more-or-less the new books for the February 2007 magazine, with some outliers.

Things other clubs bought that we'll also be offering around then:

• The Terror by Dan Simmons, a horror novel of arctic exploration (I haven't read it, but people I trust are excited about it)
• Farewell Summer by Ray Bradbury, the unexpexted sequel to Dandelion Wine
• 300 by Frank Miller, a comics retelling of the battle of Thermopylae that is the basis of an upcoming movie

and a whole pile of supernatural romances (three by Cameron Dean and one each by Savanna Russe, Jayne Ann Krentz, Karen Marie Moning, Kresley Cole, and Kinley MacGregor). My apologies for not being able to keep them straight...

I'm planning to keep doing this at least monthly (maybe weekly, if I start feeling ambitious), if you folks like the idea.
