1. 3001 - The Final Odyssee
by A.C. Clarke

We've all been waiting an awfully long time for Arthur Clarke to tell us what those mysterious Monoliths really are! Now that NASA's Galileo probe has been sending back lots of intriguing information about Ganymede and Europa, read the long-awaited 3001: THE FINAL ODYSSEY, and see how on-the-mark Clarke's predictions are turning out to be!
This is also a chance to meet up with Dave Bowman and Hal again, and see what life on Earth might be like a millennium from now. And surprise surprise, the main character is...Frank Poole?
Publisher Del Rey (Randomhouse) has set up a special 3001-Web-Site with all about Clarke's Odyssees, a sample chapter of the brand new 3001 novel and the chance to talk to HAL himself. (Okay, that's write to HAL himself.) If you dare, turn to the randomhouse site at http://www.randomhouse.com/3001/.

3. Last Days of the Dog-Men
by Brad Watson

An extraordordinary first collection of short stories by a remarkable new American talent. In prose of exqusite precision, Brad Watson writes about people and dogs: dogs as companions, as accomplices, and as missing parts of themselves. Watson strikingly capturs the animal crannies of the human personality; funny, dark, sometimes brutal, and stunning in their perfection of expression, these stories herald the arrival of a true talent. (At least that's what the publisher writes about it.)
