No joke.

I saw the artwork for the book cover stamping dies come through last week and knew it would be out soon.

I got a copy a couple of weeks ago.

But then, I read it in galley form back in July.

Spoilers? I’m sorry, I thought spoilers was designed for plot points, not a list of characters (Unless you dont know who Nobby is;))

Mea culpa.

For those of you who care about such things, I would plead for you not to buy sci fi from the big box places and instead go to [http://www.sfbooks.com](http://www.sfbooks.com)

Alice runs this place and it is a treasure for lovers of sci fi, horror and fantasy books. I am doing my part in sending as many people as I can there but she needs all the help she can get.

Mike, if you’re talking about Stars Our Destination, I’m there. Love that store. Just wish the hours at the new location were longer.
