Volume 7, Issue 6. In This Issue:Talking Fantasy With John MarcoBestselling fantasy novelist John Marco became known for his brilliantly written battle scenes and his fascinating characters in his award-winning Tyrants and Kings series. His latest book is The Devil's Armor (DAW), the sequel to his new epic fantasy series which began with The Eyes of God, an Arthurian-inspired tale of love, loss, war, and redemption. This new fantasy series has critics raving, and is picking up new readers for the author; The Devil's Armor is a Top Pick from Romantic Times magazine. In this exclusive interview, John talks about his inspiration for The Devil's Armor, reaching out to a female audience, and what he thinks makes a real-life hero.

What is the proposed missile defense shield really for? Gary Tigerman weaves conspiracy theories such as those espoused in The X-Files with a series of well-documented facts to create his compelling debut novel, The Orion Protocol (William Morrow). In our exclusive interview, Tigerman discusses his inspiration for his new book, his career as a child actor, his imprisonment for refusing to fight in the Vietnam War and why he thinks that the space program is more important than ever today.
