This group meets on the second Monday of each month to discuss a specific mystery, horror, or
intrigue novel. This month we discuss An Audience for Einstein by Mark Wakely. Professor
Percival Marlowe is a brilliant, elderly astrophysicist who's dying, his greatest achievement still
unfinished and now beyond his diminished means. Doctor Carl Dorning, a neurosurgeon, finally
discovers a secret method of transplanting memories from one person to another, thanks to
Marlowe's millions. Miguel Sanchez, a homeless boy, agrees to become the recipient of
Marlowe's knowledge and personality in this unorthodox experiment, enticed by Dorning's
promises of intelligence, wealth and respect, but dangerously unaware that his own identity will
be lost forever. What results is a seesaw battle for control of Miguel's body, as Marlowe learns to
his dismay what his lifetime of arrogance and conceit has earned him. And when Marlowe
stumbles upon the shocking procedure Dorning used in desperation to succeed, the professor
does what he must to defeat Dorning and redeem himself at last. For more information about the

Rogue Trader is a game of space adventure, set in the grim darkness of Games Workshop's
Warhammer 40000 universe. Join us as part of an up and coming Rogue Trader dynasty, and
make your mark in a new sector of space, as the Imperium of Man expands into the frontiers of
the Lupus Cluster. While the Empire's Lupus Crusade attempts to subjugate the renegade
humans and aliens of the Lupus Commonwealth, your explorers will attempt to wrest a profit from
this new region of space, and trump your rivals at the Great Game of Houses. Exciting battles in
space, brawls on different planets throughout the region, and opportunities to acquire wealth
beyond the dreams of avarice await you in the tumultuous war zone of the Lupus Cluster
Crusade. The one question you have to ask yourself is, "Are we the wolves in the fold, or merely
the sheep?" For more information about the location visit: www.panera-nj.com.

This group meets on the second Saturday of each month and spotlights guest speakers from SF
and genre related fields of interest. This month we welcome our favorite inner demon Jackie
Kessler. "Some kids want to grow up to be doctors, or movie stars, or political assassins. Me, I
wanted to draw comic books. Not Archie comics, either—superhero comic books. Maybe it was all
the heavily muscled guys in spandex…
So maybe it’s ironic that the book I wound up writing had nothing to do with overly muscled men
and everything to do with scantily clad women. (Well, temporarily scantily clad.) Oh, right, and
demons."
