It's a beautiful piece of art. It surprised me actually. Now what is Pegasus? Maybe I should just read the book (again) and see if it is mentioned ...
If Tom Brady’s a Spike Baby, what does that make Brees and Rodgers?

Yeah. This is the first time I.m feeling a total disconnect between the story I remember and the new artwork. I.m not saying its bedbug the tone is very different from that of the book.

This is one of the better stories of these early novels though but that need not be stated once you see the name Nyx Smith. Those will always be great reads.

No Legend this week, or have I missed something?

The impression I got from the FB post was that maybe they accidentally released the same one

Not sure about any Legends releases this week...the Tumblr post that went live last night refers to the releases from last week.

Been checking BattleShop and DriveThru - last Legends fiction up is Steel Rain, and waiting for the newer novels to pop up.

So ...Legends dead in the water.
Is that a permanent decision or just until the cons are over?

That's what I was referring to basically. There's a steady stream coming out of the BT office but nothing in our side the past weeks. Steel Rain was the last and was three weeks ago. However, BT's been getting theirs every week

For me, with this book, Jak brought back an energy, a determination, to the series that had started to fade. This trilogy brought back that felling of 'this is required reading' that the first ~10-12 books gave me.

I don't want every book to have insane world changing metaplot events as the Dragonheart Saga, but I would like it if the new novels did have some impact on the metaplot. Anyway, I've never read this book, but there is enough talk about it here that I have a good idea of what happens.

To be fair, they raid Aztechnology's Delta clinic just after it had been revealed that any existed, and there were only six, in the middle of the novel and it's not even in the top five craziest things to occur

This week, Shadowboxer, by Nicholas Pollotta:



Too Hot To Handle

For Two Bears, a dwarf mercenary accustomed to running the shadows, the job sounded like an easy way to make a huge stack of cash: track down and discover the meaning of the word "IronHell." But when the decker he approaches for help gets her brain fried on the Matrix, Two Bears konws he's up to his stout little shoulders in drek.

Too Cool To Give Up

Realizing that IronHell must be the title of something - or somebody - very powerful, Two Bears looks for some backup to make sure he gets through this job alive. He lines up a street troll called Thumbs, a slick decker named Silver, a suit-wearing samurai called Delphia, and Moonfeather, a magic-wielding disciple of the Cat totem. Together they blast their way through a stream of megacorp] operatives, giant meta-beasts, and high-tech pirates, desperate to unravel the incredible secret of IronHell - before it unravels the world ....
