What else?

Richard Morgan on fantasy, heroism and sexuality! Greg Bear on the end of reality and the excitements of science! Guy Haley on writing that difficult first novel! Matt Bielby on why he loves Jean Grey! The lovely Amanda Tapping, Starship Trooper Casper Van Dien, urban fantasist Suzanne McLeod and gravedigger Brendan Fraser are all inducted into Death Ray's hall of New Gods!
