• "Audition" by Barbara Walters (Knopf, $29.95, 624 pages): Promoting her memoir, the legendary television journalist told Oprah Winfrey (and the world) recently that she had a tryst with then-Sen. Edward Brooke in the 1970s. But her biography is so much more than that tired tease. Especially fascinating are Walters' encounters with hundreds of world figures and celebrities.
• "The Moneypenny Diaries" by Kate Westbrook (Thomas Dunne, $23.95, 288 pages): In the world of 007 – Bond ... James Bond – you'll recall that Jane Moneypenny is the personal assistant to M, the head of the British Secret Service and Bond's boss. This flight of fancy is presented as Moneypenny's secret diaries, centered around her search for her father, who went missing during World War II. Cute.
• "Anvil of Stars" by Greg Bear (Orb, $15.95, 448 pages): In the prequel, "The Forge of God," the Earth is destroyed by robots set loose by a criminal race of aliens whose bad habit is wrecking planets. In this second book, Earth's few survivors are helped in their revenge by the Benefactors, another alien race whose real motives could be suspect. Sci-fi master Bear appeared for The Bee Book Club in 2005 for his novel "Dead Lines."
