The following list of forthcoming books is extracted from LOCUS (The 
Newspaper of the Science Fiction Field), March 1985.  This is a wonderful
magazine currently $2.50 and very glossy.  Any mistakes and ommissions are
my own and <insert your own disclaimer here>.  Please go out and buy
a LOCUS to see everything that is happening.  This is just a biased summary.
Authors have been chosen and ignored by my whim.  Comments are my own.

TO REIGN IN HELL, Steven Brust (May)
    I have seen (not read) a limited edition autographed hardcover of this
    and if it lives up to my expectations, this will be the book of the
    year.
MYTH DIRECTIONS, Robert Asprin (June)
FLIGHT OF MAVIN MANYSHAPED, Sheri Tepper (June)
TRUMPS OF DOOM, Roger Zelazny (May or later)
    Another Amber book.  Maybe he'll recover after going steadily
    downhill at a rate of acceleration matched only by Frank Herbert's
    DUNE series.
BIO OF A SPACE TYRANT, VOL.III: POLITICTIAN, Piers Anthony (May)
    More enjoyable schlock.  Maybe we'll have to put up with fewer rapes
    and murders this time.
THE GAME OF EMPIRE, Poul Anderson (May)
    Apparently featuring Diana Flandry, Dominic's daughter.  (By who?)
THE PEACE WAR, Vernor Vinge (June)
SHADRACH IN THE FURNACE, Robert Silverberg (June)
NIGHT OF POWER, Spider Robinson (spring hardcover)
BLACK STAR RISING, Frederick Pohl (May hardcover)
    The cover art printed with the listing looks good (for what it's worth)
A PLIOCENE COMPANION, Julian May (May)
FOOTFALL, Niven and Pournelle (June hardcover)
VENGEANCE OF THE DANCING GODS, Jack L. Chalker (July)
REVOLT OF THE GALAXY, Smith and Goldin (May)
    More schlock to while away the minutes.
THE MESSIAH CHOICE, Jack Chalker (May hardcover)
DOWNTIME, Cynthia Felice (June hardcover)
THE SUBATOMIC MONSTER, Isaac Asimov (August)
THE BERSERKER THRONE, Fred Saberhagen (June hardcover/trade)
