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.
