(Microsoft's Control Creation Edition was the first version of Visual Basic 5.0 to appear and is still freely available from \\cf1\\ul http://www.microsoft.com\\cf0\\ulnone .) The book provides an overview of ActiveX control architecture and gives the reader several basic projects that modify existing controls. It then goes on to cover fairly advanced ground, including property page creation, DLL encapsulation, data-bound controls, control distribution, and code signing. ActiveX control creation is not for beginners and neither is this book. However, if you're serious about learning, it can teach you a lot. \\par\r\n}\r\n",

Dirk is on an expedition to study a strange and deadly plague in the Pacific and is astounded to discover that the cause is ultrasound resonance which produces shock waves under the sea.

An even more horrible discovery is that someone is actually generating the shock waves for profit! And the next convergence could kill over a million people . . . \r\n"

"Summary": "Aurelius is a drowsy bedroom community in upstate New York that is rocked by a vicious, seemingly random killing. A woman is found murdered in her bed, her left hand missing. Just when the grisly details begin to fade, a young girl vanishes. The only clue: a bag with the girl's washed and folded clothes and a mannequin's left hand. Soon two more girls disappear, and when clues remain elusive, conjecture and rumor take over. The town awakens to a nightmare of suspicion and vigilantism. As the killer spirals in to kill again, the town spins out of control, and The Church of Dead Girls heads to a jolting conclusion. It'll give you goosebumps even if you read it at the beach. \r\n\r\n"

"Summary": "In this sequel to Dreamships, Melissa Scott tackles the concept of artificial intelligence and how it will impact society. Not the theoretical society of chess playing and super computing, but the gritty society where coolie laborers struggle for existence, and where political groups fight their battles on the streets through protests, riots, and bombings. Scott uses three characters--a high-tech stage magician, her deaf cousin who plays in a struggling band, and a starship pilot with a deep distrust for the artificial constructs she must work with--to explore her intense, if slow moving, future. \r\n"
