Mark Chadbourn's The Silver Skull

Working on catalog copy for Fall-Winter 2010-11 now, while the snow falls outside my window. This includes copy for the next Swords of Albion book, The Scar-Crow Men, so I'm rounding up reviews of the previous The Silver Skull.This is by no means all, just the one's I'm pulling for today. Really, skimming the below response, how can you not want to read this book?

“In a year of outstanding fantasies, The Silver Skull may just be one of the best so far.” Monsters and Critics

"Fantastic—keeper" 4 12/ stars RT Book Reviews

“…one of the funnest books we have read. Period. Imagine a James Bond story, but way more awesome, set in an alternate Elizabethan England. This is what you get in this book…. The Silver Skull reads at breakneck speed and never relents.” Elitist Book Reviews

“Smart, fun, at times surprisingly moving, and occasionally downright shocking, The Silver Skull is impossible to put down.” Realms of Fantasy

“There are times when you read a book that’s so amazing to you that you feel the author had you personally in mind when they wrote it, that’s exactly how I feel about Mark Chadbourn’s The Silver Skull. ….This is a must-read, and is my favorite book so far this year.” Fantasy Literature
