Librarian’s Note: Some pretty decent science fiction. A crew is bound for Epsilon Eridani for a scouting trip. The Go/No Go decision point is at Neptune. To help pass the time they have a virtual reality set-up, but there seems to be an issue with the software…

Librarian’s Note: The first round just came out in hardcover, and a second round of comics has begun. Sure the outer Solar system is a mess now with holes in Saturn’s rings and Uranus cut in half and all, but now the threat has come home to Earth and only the Pegasus Squadron can stop the malefactors.

Librarian’s Note: Just found this one at the comic store. Mecha wars on Venus. Not your usual location for military violence, but the Solar system is a big place.

Best of the Moon 2008 - High Frontier Fiction
Librarian’s Note: This fourth DVD in the series collects the last episodes of the series, ending with #150. And quite an ending it is, one fraught with danger and drama. Having watched the whole series, I have to say that I am quite impressed overall. Never a hint of an alien, never a hint of treknology to save the day. It’s all about humans, human technology, human judgment and human frailties. It stays true to its soap opera roots all the way to the end, and afterwards you can’t help but wonder what could have been had the series continued.

Librarian’s Note: Now available at a comic store near you. No aliens, no warp drives - just a good old-fashioned murder on the space station.
Update: Apparently the graphic novel collecting all four issues is available.

Best of the Moon 2008 - High Frontier Fiction
Librarian’s Note: Only one more DVD left to go in the series, set for release in July. Surprisingly entertaining and not bad sci-fi either for what is effectively a soap opera, just set at a college on a space ship in orbit around a moon of Jupiter. No aliens, black holes, warp drives or other fantasy stuff, just real problems, both human and natural.
