	EUROPE'S MOST VISITED SF/F WEB SITE

Killing Stars.

Time for the monthly round-up of interesting new web sites our SF search engine has come across.

The Story
The Story is a humorous chain story written by fans of fantasy, science fiction, and keepers of the popular culture. Any passersby is welcome to participate, using well-known (or not so well-known) cultural icons.

As of this writing, the production pace has been slowed, allowing new visitors to the EDGland site to take part in this interesting take on the characters we all know, love, hate, and honor. Intended for immature adults, not children.

SFreviews
In-depth reviews and ratings of over 160 SF/F books, updated weekly. Titles range from established, time-worn classics by the genre's giants, to current popular bestsellers, to obscurities that vanished after a single paperback printing written by authors long forgotten or never known in the first place.

Starkillers.com
Online fiction publishers Nytewolf announced the launch of Starkillers.com this week. Starkillers.com will house all of Nytewolf's science fiction publications, termed "Hyper Mags", under the header "Starkillers Universe."

The Starkillers Universe currently produces three hyper mags, Starkillers, Starkillers: Chase Brigade, and Jeremy Force. The last week of October will also feature the release of the Nytewolf's fourth hyper mag, Starkillers: Blindside.

Starkillers hyper mags are free to subscribe, currently distributed through the Topica.com network. All hyper mags, or story series, are set in a later-day earth backdrop, towards the end of the 21st century.

"Starkillers is an attempt to bring a new, quality storyline to the science fiction genre, providing new entertainment for the hard core science fiction reader, but still appealing to the passive reader as well," the Nytewolf owner and Starkillers author Gary Bloom said.

Zone SF

Robots of Mars
