It’s @KarlKGallagher’s birthday. Buy his books.

That’s always the right answer for ‘What do you get an author?’ A sale, o my droogies. You get them a sale.

Anyway: if you haven’t gotten Karl Gallagher’s Storm Between the Stars yet first get that, then get its sequel Between Home and Ruin. Both SF, both space opera, I’m in the middle of the second one now. Buy his books! They’re good and it’s his birthday.
