More fine examples of what the web has to offer to us science fiction and fantasy lovers.

We start out with a shop cum movie database over at http://www.scifi-movies.com - the movies are all sold via the usual affiliate deal with Amazon. The thing that sets this site apart is that because they are based in the French part of Canada, you can find the reviews in French and English.

Irish Christian Science Fiction
Well, here's a genre that site creator Rick Sutcliffe seems to have cornered all to himself, Irish Christian SF. Hmm. Is that Protestant or Catholic Christian, Rick.

Anyway, this an ebook site, featuring the author's own works.

Rick Sutcliffe's speculative fiction is soft science fiction written from a Christian point of view. It is set among several alternate worlds linked by a medium called the timestream, and involves the characters in ethical decision making.

The first series, The Interregnum, takes place largely on Ortho Earth, also called Greater Hibernia, and covers the period 1941-2001, during which there was a ban on the throne and the High King's family, and a corrupt oligarchy of nobles ruled. It received positive reviews from Analog magazine's Tom Easton.

Sky Galleons of Mars
Meanwhile, from Joe Boeke comes a role playing game resource, Sky Galleons of Mars.

This was Frank Chadwick's trademark for his board game of Victorian Era aerial combat on Mars. Set in GDW's Space:1889 universe, this webzine has variants, new ship designs, scenarios, and links for the game.

Steampunk, anyone?
