Hah! Just noticed this on Amazon:

The Law of Nines by Terry Goodkind

Turning twenty-seven may be terrifying for some, but for Alex, a struggling artist living in the midwestern United States, it is cataclysmic. Inheriting a huge expanse of land should have made him a rich and happy man; but something about this birthday, his name, and the beautiful woman whose life he just saved, has suddenly made him—and everyone he loves—into a target. A target for extreme and uncompromising violence . . . In Alex, Terry Goodkind brings to life a modern hero in a whole new kind of high-octane thriller.

Looks like Goodkind is bringing his lust for ‘extreme and uncompromising violence‘ to another genre. At least he can legitimately say he’s not writing Fantasy anymore. My guess is that he’ll try to tell us that The Law of Nines isn’t a thriller, but rather an allegory for learning how to love oneself, and that it should be filed in the ‘Self Help’ section at bookstores across the country.

Let’s be honest, though. I’ll probably give it a go, just out of sick curiousity.

Cover Art | The Price of Spring by Daniel Abraham

The first three volumes of Daniel Abraham’s Long Price Quartet were graced with some bloody good cover art. And, well… it looks like the fourth (and final) volume can make the same claim.

The Price of Spring by Daniel Abraham

Pretty nice, eh? Though in the same style as the earlier covers, it’s somewhat missing the art-deconess of the earlier covers, though that might change once I’m actually holding the things in my hands. Also, it’s much, much better than the atrocious omnibus editions coming from Orbit Books.

I’ve been eagerly awaiting the publication of this final volume, so I can finally jump into the Long Price Quartet, which comes highly recommended.
