Books Sold: James Enge's The Wolf Age
As SFScope, agent Michael Kabongo, and the author himself have already reported, we've just completed an agreement with James Enge (via the OnyxHawke agency), to publish a third Morlock Ambrosius novel, this one titled The Wolf Age. The Wolf Age is a third stand-alone adventure featuring his wandering swordsman/master maker Morlock, after the forthcoming This Crooked Way, and the coming-really-soon Blood of Ambrose.These novels are swords & sorcery at its best, and I'm eager to unleash Morlock on the wider world. Meanwhile, there are a host of Morlock Ambrosius shorts and previews online and aggregated here.

The World of Infoquake Gets Closer to Reality
novels. This is Pattie Maes of MIT Media Lab's new Fluid Interfaces Group. Wow!Nuts & Bolts: Tom Lloyd
Genreville's Rose Fox posts Nuts & Bolts: Tom Lloyd today. This interview with the author of The Twilight Herald
was conducted back when his first novel, The Stormcaller,
was just coming out, so we are very glad to see it finally posted.Here's a taste: "The idea evolved over several years. I'd had the first scene stuck in my head for a while, a dream originally, so it was the natural start for the book, but I didn't actually have a plot to begin with. When I started writing I just started sketching out ideas for the world and how I'd like it to be populated. I've always loved the quarrelsome gods of Norse mythology and decided that I wanted more involvement from gods than most books I'd read."

One of the Most Fascinating Scifi Series on the Market
From Pat's Fantasy Hotlist: "With Bright of the Sky
and A World Too Near,
Kay Kenyon established herself as one of the most underrated science fiction authors out there. In my opinion, The Entire and the Rose is without a doubt one of the most fascinating scifi series on the market today. In City Without End,
Kenyon elevates this series to new heights.... Kay Kenyon's latest is full of surprising twists and turns, and the plot moves forward at a crisp pace. No offense to Peter F. Hamilton and other scifi authors in the middle of ongoing series, but The Entire and the Rose could well be the best game in town right now. I commend this series to your attention. Can't wait to see how the author will close the show!"

Sweet and Low
David Low, I mean. And the only purpose of this post is to direct you to another post saying how much I enjoyed reading a collection of the great man's political cartoons (the volume in question is styled as an illustrated recapitulation of the 1950s). Lots of SF there, because of course the 1950s was the decade in which SF began properly to interpenetrate the general cultural discourse ... Sputnik, Laika et al. Incidentally, did you know that the first dog in space actually had four, count-em, four names? Why so many? I don't know; but I concur with Low that, though 'Laika' was perfectly descriptive of the little creature (Лайка, "Barker"), a cartoonist had better make use of one of the others (Лимончик, "Little Lemon"). Because it is funnier.

Kristine Kathryn Rusch's The Spires of Denon
In a few short days, if not sooner, I'll be able to show you the truly amazing cover - with artwork by Dave Seeley - for Kristine Kathryn Rusch's forthcoming novel, Diving into the Wreck (based on her Asimov's Readers Choice Award-winning novella of the same name.) In the meantime, those who want a sample of her "Diving" universe are directed to the 400th issue of Asimov's Science Fiction magazine. "The Spires of Denon" (partial excerpt here) is the cover story!
