I’m sorry, but I refuse to add that ridiculous trademark symbol. There are multiple uses of the word ‘megapack’ out there, so The Leigh Brackett Science Fiction MEGAPACK is just gonna have to settle for being a 99 cent digital compilation of a dozen of her novels. Highly suitable for reading-to-relax!

Book of the Week: The Mercurian: Three Tales of Eric John Stark.
Can’t remember if I did The Mercurian: Three Tales of Eric John Stark before, and I don’t care because bourbon drink*. This is the stuff, my droogies. Leigh Brackett is one of the people that later hacks are ripping off.

Book of the Week: …what’s a book?
Sorry, but I am tired. DoxaCon was fun, but I was on my feet for a lot of it, and the trip back featured things like signs saying ALL LANES ON I-95N CLOSED, just before Google Maps advises you to go over three lanes and start your driving tour of southern Maryland. It wasn’t even all that big a big delay, but my brain is fried.
Hold on. Eric Flint’s 1632 & Beyond Issue #2. There. That’s a book. I even just bought it.

Book of the Week: The Mercurian: Three Tales of Eric John Stark.
This is one of those “you bought Leigh Brackett’s The Mercurian: Three Tales of Eric John Stark, so don’t forget to read it, Moe” posts. Somebody was raving about one of the novels in the book, so I grabbed it. I should read it. Really, I should.
Book of the Week: A Night in the Lonesome October.
Roger Zelazny’s A Night in the Lonesome October is always a good choice for this time of year. Probably too good: most of you folks probably already have it. Gimme a break, I’m still sick.
Books of the Week: The Scholomance Series.
Somebody asked me today what my favorite book was. And since I amended my answer to say, “Naomi Novik’s Scholomance series was the best fantasy fiction written in the last five years,” well. Here you go.

Book of the Week: GHOSTS ON AN ALIEN WIND (Now available on Kindle!)
GHOSTS ON AN ALIEN WIND is available in Kindle! At last. At long, long last…
Note: it is not fantasy and it is not cheerful. GHOSTS ON AN ALIEN WIND is a science fiction horror novel. You Have Been Warned.

Book of the Week: DECLARE.
I’ve thought about it for a bit, and I’ve decided: if I get a chance to have Tim Power sign one of his books at DoxaCon, it’s going to be DECLARE. I hope that, before I die, I will write a book as good as that one. …No, I do not lack for confidence. I’m not very good at false modesty, either.
Book of the Week: The Third Crown, and Other Weird Tales.
The Third Crown, and Other Weird Tales is a collection of short stories by Paul Leone. I picked it up to read the stories set in the same universe as his good, and grim, In And Out of the Reich, but I liked the other ones, too. Also: Paul has a good book cover game. Not pointing fingers, but you can kind of tell when somebody’s taken the ‘Oh, don’t spend money on real cover art’ argument seriously. That’s not a problem here.
Book of the Week: The Torchship Trilogy.
Karl K Gallagher combined his science fiction torchship pulp trilogy into… The Torchship Trilogy. Okay, yeah, that was obvious. Forgive me: my sleep patterns have been a bit off since Starfield came out. Anyway, they’re good books. Buy the trilogy.
