A year on from its hard cover release, James Barclay's solid and impressive novel Cry of the Newborn is issued in an equally solid mass market paperback edition. My original review is reprinted in this issue and I look forward very much to reading the second and concluding volume in the story of The Ascendants of Astoria, A Shout for the Dead, which is due out within the next month or so.
