I want to plug two books... No, I haven't read either one yet, but both are in my To Read pile and I'm looking forward to sinking into both of them in the very near future.
First up is Melinda Snodgrass' sequel to last year's THE EDGE OF REASON (which was a wonderful, fast-paced book, and one which thematically resonated deeply with me): THE EDGE OF RUIN, which continues the tale -- and since REASON is now out in paperback, you can get the first one cheap if you haven't already read it, and once you do read it, you're going to have to get the second one!
The second book is Ian Tregillis' BITTER SEEDS. Ian (like Melinda) is one of the WILD CARDS crew, and I just love his writing. It was my extreme pleasure to collaborate closely with Ian as we wrote SUICIDE KINGS, the most recent Wild Cards novel, and I'm telling you -- he's a writer to watch. BITTER SEEDS is Ian's first novel, and it's garnering some nice reviews; I'm looking forward to reading this one, and I suspect you'll love it as well.
So: two novel suggestions for you! Do you have any for me?
