New Titles w/e 5th January 2008
Sorry, despite ordering in what I thought was adequate time to receive books this week, I won’t be getting most of my expected deliveries until Monday.
Blame longer delays than in previous years both by the supplier shipping it and in the extended New Year seize-up in the UK freight industry… But I did get:
in hardback:
Matthew Reilly - The Six Sacred Stones a high-speed sequel to Seven Ancient Wonders
William Ashbless - Pilot Light very small hardback by Tim Powers & James P. Blaylock. Unsigned.
in large format:
Brian Stableford - The Tree of Life a collection of 8 stories about how biotech might affect the future…
in ‘B’ format:
Sweeney Todd; the Demon Barber of Fleet Street the novel the new Johnny Depp film is based on. Apparently when it was first published as a serial in 1846, it was known as The String of Pearls: A Romance. Doesn’t give quite the same tone to the story! It’s authorship still remains in doubt…
in paperback:
David Zindell - The Diamond Warriors the 4th and final volume of the Ea Cycle
