Amazing cover by Richard Anderson
I hope you are all having a great week, and you love what you're currently reading.

If you're like me, one of the books that you're looking forward to reading this spring is Brian Staveley's The Last Mortal Bond, the third and the concluding installment of Staveley's Chronicle of the Unhewn Throne.

I've already pre-ordered my copy - a signed and personalized copy. You see... I'm a sucker for signed books of the authors I like. A few days ago Brian announced that two of his local bookshops will have signed (and personalized if pre-ordered) copies of The Last Mortal Bond, and I wanted to spread the word, in case some of you would not like to miss such an opportunity. Here's what Brian said about it:

2015 was an exciting year. The books are being translated into nine languages at this point. The Emperor's Blades won some awards and was shortlisted for others. The Providence of Fire seems to be following in its footsteps, and I'm thrilled with the early reception readers are giving The Last Mortal Bond. Kirkus, in a starred review, called it "deeply satisfying," and Fantasy Faction gave the book 10/10 stars, saying, "The culmination of Staveley's tale succeeds in every possible way, delivering readers a truly epic tale full of memorable characters, clever politics, an intelligent magic system, brutal battle scenes, and witty dialogue."
... 
You can preorder a signed, personalized copy (of The Last Mortal Bond or any of the others) from either Bartleby's Books (bartbook@sover.net; 802.464.5425) or Everyone's Books (802.254.8160). Both are local bookshops here in southeastern VT. I sign 'em, they ship 'em (within the US and Canada). 
If you're planning to buy the book, please consider a preorder. Preorders are vital for authors for a whole batch of crucial reasons.  
For audible fans, Simon Vance is back! He was shortlisted for an Audie for his performance of The Emperor's Blades, and his recording of The Last Mortal Bond, weighing in at 30 hours, is now up for preorder. 
Finally, for the e-readers, you can find the book at both Amazon and Barnes and Noble.

Ukkusiksalik: The People's Story

Ukkusiksalik: The People's Story By David F. Pelly Toronto: Dundurn, $21.50 Reviewed by Russell A. Potter When I was in Gjoa Haven for ten days in 2004, I remember a local Inuk who, though he was happy to answer my newcomer's questions, regarded my interest in his community as a short-term one, despite my protestations to the contrary. When I asked him why, he put it plainly: many  Qallunaaat say the same thing -- but then that's the last you see of them -- they never come back. David F. Pelly is one who came back -- again and again -- and so earned the trust and the friendship of the people he sojourned among. And these qualities are vital to the  project of  Ukkusiksalik , which is no less than to provide a comprehensive oral history of this area from the earliest appearance of humans to the establishment of the national park that bears its name in 2003, and beyond. Indeed, Pelly opens with an account of the geological history of the area beginning with the last Ice Ag...

Plus: Han & Leia are confronted by an unexpected foe from Han's past! COLLECTING: STAR WARS 7-12" Last week I reviewed the first volume of the new Star Wars comic book that covers the time between New Hope and Empire Strikes Back. Volume 2 continues the adventures of the rebels and this time it features a little more of Leia, which was missing from the last book. I don't want to give too much away but in this storyline Han and Leia's struggling romance gets sidelined when someone...

Mort(e) by Robert Repino Publishing information: Hardcover; 358pgs Publisher: Soho Press; 1 Jan 2014 ISBN: 9781616954277 Series: War with No Name #1 Copy: Out of Pocket Reviewer: Tyson Amazon Synopsis: "After the “war with no name” a cat assassin searches for his lost love in Repino’s strange, moving sci-fi epic that channels both Homeward Bound and A Canticle for Lebowitz. The “war with no name” has begun, with human extinction as its goal. The instigator of this war is the Colony, a race of intelligent ants who, for thousands of years, have been silently building an army that would forever eradicate the destructive, oppressive humans. Under the Colony's watchful eye, this utopia will be free of the humans' penchant for violence, exploitation and religious superstition. As a final step in the war effort, the Colony uses its strange technology to transform the surface animals into high-functioning two-legged beings who rise up to kill their masters.
