Please, please tell me this is just a sick joke.

Some new science fiction paperback releases for June:

The Unicorn Rider
 Sara Lee Ann Bradly-Withers, HarperCollins, $14.95

All her life Tara had wanted to be a unicorn rider like her mother.
But now the unicorns are dying, made sick from a dreadful curse.  Now
Tara must ride into the depths of Zheemun-iktha, the spirit realm, to
confront the evil spiritweaver Rthio!  Aided only by her crystal magic,
her spirit guide Ikthal and her loyal mount Sasha, Tara must lift the
curse and save her people!

The Wisewomen of Ti'aman
 Rhiaanu Riversun, The Women's Press $14.95

The age of silicon is over, its machines the broken and rusting relics
of a forgotten age.  Only two races preserve the memory of that past
time.  In the city of Aman the men hide behind steel walls and preserve
technology as a remnant of their faded glory, ever dreaming of the time
when they will spread their machines across the earth once more.  And
in the valley of Ti'aman the vigilant women cast their runes and spirit
magic so that the men of Aman will never get their wish.  But now the
spells have been broken -- a man has left the city!  Can the Wisewomen
restore the sacred balance before the age of silicon is restored once
again?

Star Trek Voyager: Morphin' USA!  
 Marvel/Viacom Co-Licensing Development Committee, $12.95

Janeway had a problem.  Torres had said the alien device would bring
them home in a blink of an eye -- but this didn't look like Federation
space!  And she'd never encountered an alien quite like the Zord
before.  Now she's trusting the safety of her ship to a bunch of
teenagers in lycra, and only Seven of Nine seems to be able to stand up
to them.

Feel the heat of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers as they meet the
Voyager crew!  The crossover to end all crossovers!

Blood Hound!
 Freda Rand, HarperCollins $19.95

Kai had suspected it, just before Volansky had impaled him on a seven
foot wooden pole and staked him out to dry.  You'd be a fool to try to
investigate the shadow world of the kindred -- unless you were one of
them yourself.  But that's a secret that Volansky was going to make
sure stayed between a dead man and herself.  It doesn't pay to
advertise that you're a psychic female vampire detective.

Zounds! Zounds!
 Terry Pratchett, Victor Gollancz $14.95

He's the greatest playwright Ankh-Morpork has ever seen, or at least
that section of it that can scale to the top of the horrendously
vertiginous Globe Theatre.  (One of architect Bloody Stupid Johnson's
greater designs.) But can all these masterpieces really flow from the
pen of just one upstart from Starfield-upon-Mavon?  Or does the
mysterious Lord Frank Rasher have a hand in it all?

I'm scared though, since there was an X-Men/TNG crossover... and
combining if any Trek would be crossed with Power Rangers, it would be
Voyager.

And that, boys and girls, was the sound of my brain being thrown into
reverse as the bodily organs responsible for good taste and criticism
started screaming "I canna take any more, cap'n!".

Yeesh. Cutprice Ann McCaffrey. How much lower can you go?

Double yeesh. Dodgy fantasy, psychic vampires, Star Trek and media
tie-ins. These people must try reading one of these days.

? They didn't actually say that, did they?
