I have Cory Doctorow’s Walkaway on pre-order. Soon it will be mine. Soon.
For “Walkaway,” I would butt-synch “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.” Hopefully, that won’t be necessary.
Someday, George is gonna surprise-drop “WInds of Winter” into one of these ARC piles, Beyonce-Lemonade style, AmIRight??
There are some I would pick up and look at, in a bookstore. Cosmic Powers, the Massacre of Mankind, Lost Souls, Himalayan Codex, and the Witch Who Came In From The Cold. But to take home without looking inside? It’s a tossup, but probably Cosmic Powers.
Doctorow! Also, I just finished The Collapsing Empire. Hey, it was FUN. Looking forward to the sequel.
Ooh, new Stephen Baxter.
I would definitely check out the Stephen Baxter, and am looking forward to Doctorow’s new one.
Yay, a new Cory Doctorow novel!
There’s a review in the Toronto Star. Apparently your writing “is a drug”. One of the good kind.

Cory Doctorow FTW
I’d pick up the Stephen Baxter first, but Cory Doctorow’s book would be a close second.
