Star Trek: Shipyards – Deep Space Nine by Ben Robinson
Release Date: Mid Apr
This the latest in an ongoing series of guidebooks with floor plans and schematics for ships from the Star Trek universe. With this one, we are off to Bajor and Deep Space Nine, and hopefully we will get a look at the Defiant and maybe a few Jem’Hadar and Dominion ships as well. These are great fun resources and fascinating for a really deep nerd dive.

Heroes’ Feast: The Official Dungeons & Dragons Cookbook by Kyle Newman
Release Date: Early Feb
It seems you don’t really count as a fandom lately unless you have got a cookbook. Certainly everybody else seems to have one. Not to be left behind, Dungeons and Dragons folk now have a cookbook of their own. Eighty recipes inspired by the world of Dungeons and Dragons which you can cook for your friends and players, and let’s face it, if you are a D&D player, you’ve got people coming round, so you may as well feed them.

Supernatural Tarot Cards by Minerva Siegel
Release Date: Early Apr
Tie-in materials have gotten pretty exotic recently, and while this is a bit unique, I suppose a set of tarot cards that tie in with the Supernatural TV series kind of makes sense. In here you will find character cards of Dean and Sam, Bobby Singer, Castiel, Crowley and others but it’s structured like a tarot deck with a little guidebook so that you can even try and predict the future. However, knowing the Winchester boys, I don’t think anything these cards are likely to tell you is going to turn out very well.

Lightfall by Tim Probert
Release Date: Mid Apr
I don’t normally do a large range of children’s early reader picture books, but the art in this one is so spectacular that I couldn’t not get some. It’s the first in a series and features Bea, a young girl who bumps into Cad, a member of the Galdurians, an ancient race thought to be long extinct.  His job is to help save their world from an impending danger, and Bea decides to help. It’s a wonderful adventure story for early readers, lavishly illustrated – the art work style is wonderful – and it’s something that I think that adults who enjoy beautiful art would like as well.
