Book Haul - Bennett, North, Bernardo, Malki !, Erikson, Gafla, Posey, Salvatore, Kemp, Sullivan, Lynch

While I'm looking forward the the physical books this week, I'm extremely excited for the ebooks. One in particular...

Star Trek: Enterprise: Rise of the Federation: A Choice of Futures by Chistopher L. Bennett

This is How You Die: Stories of the Inscrutable, Infallible, Inescapable Machine of Death, edited by Ryan North, Matthew Bernardo, David Malki ! - This is the follow up to the Machine of Death anthology which I enjoyed but never finished. I just felt like this concept was ... done to death. I read the first story and again it was good, but I just can't handle another batch of stories like this.

This River Awakens by Steven Erikson - This is Erikson's first novel that's being released for the first time in the US. Very much looking forward to it.

The World of the End by Ofir Touche Gafla - This is really an odd book that I'm about 30% through. I don't know if I like it yet, but it's certainly unique and compelling. There are a couple giveaways I listed on the other blog here.

eBooks:

Three by Jay Posey - I have to say it's about 99% cover that makes me want to read this. Plus you usually can't go wrong with Angry Robot.

The Companions (The Sundering #1)by R.A Salvatore - A Forgotten Realms event called The Sundering starts with their most famous author.










The Godborn (The Sundering #2) by Paul S. Kemp - Part of the event above, but number two.











The Crown Tower (Riyria Chronicles #1) by Michael J. Sullivan - The first in a two book prequel series to Sullivan's excellent Riyria Revelations.










The Rose and Thorn (Riyria Chronicles #2) by Michael J. Sullivan - The second.











The Republic of Thieves (Gentlemen Bastards #3) by Scott Lynch - Only the most anticipated book of the year if not the last couple years. Very happy to have this, I guess it's time to start Red Seas Under Red Skies since I waited until this was a sure thing before I would start RSURS.

Republic of Thieves is Possibly Complete!

I mentioned in a post not too long ago that I absolutely loved Scott Lynch's Lies of Locke Lamora and now we have some good news from The Wertzone and Suvudu's Shawn Speakman.

Scott Lynch has been rumored to have finished the manuscript for The Republic of Thieves and the editors are awaiting it any moment now. The date for publication has now been set for January 2011 although it's not set in stone.

I have yet to read Red Skies over Red Seas but it's on the bookshelf and ready to go since I was waiting for the next installment to be ready. I guess it's time.
