Location: Ireland		Hi,
It would be great to see the following added:
The Turing Test - Chris Beckett
The Peacock Cloak - Chris Beckett
The Ghost Hunters - Neil Spring
The Watchers - Neil Spring

There are a number of Chris Beckett's novels already in the DB, just not the two story collections mentioned.
Neil Spring is a fairly new author. His first novel (Ghost Hunters) has already been made into a film in the UK, and I'd not be surprised to see The Watchers up for (something like) the James Herbert Award this year.

Thanks in advance

Could you add the three books in Kate Mosse's "Languedoc" series? They are "Labyrinth", "Sepulchre", and "Citadel".
Also, Melissa Scott and Jo Graham have a new book in their "Order of the Air" series, "Oath Bound".
Could you also add Genevieve Gogman's "The Invisible Library" (published in the UK last year, due here this summer) and "The Wrath and the Dawn" by Renee Ahdieh? Thanks much.


Mosse is in.
Oath Bound is only a Kindle at the moment. Keep an eye on it and when it gets a paper version, ask for it again.
Invisible Library and its sequel is in.
The Wrath and the Dawn is in, along with it's sequel due out in a few months.

Don't know a thing about Eclipse Phase, but this one seems to be a kindle only book. If it gets a paper edition, ask for it again.

The first two are in. The third doesn't seem to be out at all, at least stateside.
Not even in the databases as to be published soon.
Please repost your request when it does have papery copies about.

Location: The Wilds of Washington		Its surely a sign of something (probably an apocalypse) but there are now 141 books returned with the search Star Trek and 141 returned with a Star Wars search.

This kicker is that I think were over half way on the Star Wars but not yet to the half way point for Star Trek.

Goals. Got'a love'm.

Last year when I started entering the Star Trek books in, I think I counted over 600 on ISFDB (I had to copy and paste into a spreadsheet, then eliminate all the omnibuses, anthologies, and short fiction). Around the 129-book mark I decided to take a break and work on our other projects, like the Aurealis, Prometheus, Tiptree, and WFA awards. 

I've got all the covers for the following Star Trek subseries saved, (plus parts of other subseries):

A Time To...
Cold Equations
Destiny
Dominion War
Double Helix
Genesis Wave
Titan
Vanguard 

Well done on the Star Wars books -- I don't think we had more than a couple in to begin with, and that was not so long ago.

So, we're only about a quarter, huh? I would've guessed a third.

Do you still have that spreadsheet? I'd like a copy.

These six are now in.
The Van Gores has stellar reviews. To bad she died early so it's a one hit wonder which is very expensive and long out-of-print according to amazon.

*nods* I'd been curious about the book for a while, but thought it would probably be an eternal wishlist item for me. But then my brother tracked down a (signed!) copy for me and gave it to me for Christmas. I'm in the middle of reading it right now, and so far it's very good. No idea who the rightsholder for the book is, but hopefully it gets rereleased someday--perhaps as an ebook?--so that it can reach a wider audience.

Hi, there! I'm participating in the Women of Genre Fiction challenge and one of my most recent reads/authors is missing from the database. I'm hoping I might be able to get her and her titles added to the database for the challenge...

Jacey Bedford:
Winterwood (Rowankind book 1)
Empire of Dust (Psi-Tech)
Crossways (Psi-Tech)
