Book of the Week: “Death from the Skies!”

And so we say goodbye to Victory of Eagles (Temeraire). With a title like Death from the Skies!: These Are the Ways the World Will End . . . would already be a shoo-in for Book of the Week – I’m the sort of person who enjoyed Pocket Guide To The Apocalypse: The Official Field Manual For The End Of The World – but this book has… friends.

Dun dun DUN!!!!!

Shatnerquake

From the product description:

William Shatner? William Shatner. WILLIAM SHATNER!!! It’s the first ShatnerCon with William Shatner as the guest of honor! But after a failed terrorist attack by Campbellians, a crazy terrorist cult that worships Bruce Campbell, all of the characters ever played by William Shatner are suddenly sucked into our world. Their mission: hunt down and destroy the real William Shatner.

PS: Of course it’s the goram Book of the Week.

Book of the Week: The Wit and Wisdom of Discworld.

We remove The Black Book of Communism: Crimes, Terror, Repression and replace it with The Wit and Wisdom of Discworld, which I imagine is a good deal more cheerful.

Well, I have all the Discworld novels, after all. So I’ve already read every word in the book. Just… in different order, that’s all.

Book of the week, plus upcoming books.

And so we remove The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress and replace it with the John Adams biography. But I also want to note that the following three books will be coming out very soon:

…and I’m looking forward to all three.
