But the payoff in <I>On,</I> the what's going on with the world, is so great, if you do find it you have to come back and tell me. I refuse to spoil it - and don't let anything online spoil it for you either if you can help it. It's amazing. <BR/><BR/>As to <I>River of Gods</I>, I can't help but point out that we just released <A HREF="http://www.pyrsf.com/CyberabadDays.html" REL="nofollow"><I>Cyberabad Days</I></A>, which is a collection of seven stories set in that world, with a 31k originally novella that is pretty much another novel in its own right.Lou Andershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00694362734492222851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11303103.post-13511098349452751992009-02-04T19:18:00.000-06:002009-02-04T19:18:00.000-06:00Hey no worries, I really like Pyr books, the first...Hey no worries, I really like Pyr books, the first one I purchased was Moorcock and Constantine's Silverheart in hardcover, the latest was Abercrombie's Before They are Hanged. Any publisher who puts out a new Theodore Judson is all right with me. The blog led me to River Gods which is just, wow. <BR/> Back to Roberts, I'll have to do a little hunting then but I'll probably start with Gradisil and Splinter, though On sounds quite interesting. Hopefully I can do my part to get the word out.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00074602902385836924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11303103.post-35826859595626810072009-02-04T17:16:00.000-06:002009-02-04T17:16:00.000-06:00Well, we published Gradsil in the US, we being Pyr...Well, we published <A HREF="http://www.pyrsf.com/Gradisil.html" REL="nofollow"><I>Gradsil</I></A> in the US, we being <A HREF="http://www.pyrsf.com/" REL="nofollow">Pyr</A>, and Solaris published <I>Splinter</I> here, and are bringing out a mass-market edition soon too I think. I saw the Gollancz edition of <I>Swiftly</I> stickered and on the shelf at my local B&N. I am, of course, very big on supporting an author in the territory they are trying to publish in, but where there *aren't* US editions for a book and there are no plans for same, I think it's fine to get the UK. I image specialty stores like <A HREF="http://www.borderlands-books.com/" REL="nofollow">Borderlands Books</A> in San Francisco may have some of his backlist too.<BR/><BR/>And we've got sample chapters of <I>Gradisil</I> <A HREF="http://pyrsamples.blogspot.com/2008/09/gradisil-by-adam-roberts.html" REL="nofollow">here</A>. But I'm not pushing just our book. I think Adam really deserves to be read widely in the US, and I'll be happy if I've lead you to <I>any</I> of his works.

It sounds like the rest of his books are just as engaging and interesting. Is his work easily available in America, I think I remember seeing, at least, Gradisil. Thanks for the tip, I do enjoy being just a little ahead of the curve when I can manage it.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00074602902385836924noreply@blogger.com
