Hah! Just noticed this on Amazon:
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.
