The Guide on Towels
A towel, it says, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have.
Giga-what?
One point twenty-one gigawatts?! What was I thinking?
Coming in 2006: The Nightmare War
You could draw a line in your life, a clear division—the time before the nightmares and the time after. You think you’re the same person you’ve always been. You feel like the same person, you have the same memories. But since the nightmares started, the rest of the world feels different.
You have become what we call a “nightwalker.”
Possessing the form and memories of a human life and the elusive nightmares of a truly alien past, you must contend with a new life as something more than human.
Distorted nightmares torment you, hinting at a horrible, eternal existance in servitude. Is this your future, or your past? It's time to find others like you. There must be others like you.
Time is running out. There will be a cataclysm on this earth before they take you, you must be ready.
THEY ARE COMING!

Troopers Back In Comics
Comic-book writer Tony Lee told SCI FI Wire that Markosia Comics is publishing his Starship Troopers: Blaze of Glory, a four-issue miniseries based on Robert A. Heinlein's classic SF novel Starship Troopers. "[When] Mongoose Publishing [was] creating a Starship Troopers miniatures game, [they] decided to release some [comic] books [set in the same world as the Roughnecks: The Starship Troopers Chronicles television series
] to add 'flavor,'" Lee said in an interview. "I wrote three graphic novels in the Blaze of Glory trilogy, but due to printing issues, only the first, Alamo Bay, was ever finished. Fast-forward a year, and I suggest to Rich Emms of Markosia ... that they should enter into talks to serialize the books as a 12-part series, and myself and [artist Sam Hart] would re-edit [the] pages to fit a four-part schedule for each book. Mongoose and Sony [who control the rights] agreed, and here we are!"
