Publishers Weekly leads off its science fiction, fantasy and horror reviews this morning with the first published review of Geosynchron. Overall, it's a very nice review indeed. Here it is, minus one minor plot spoiler from chapter 8 that I'd rather be left unspoiled:

This weekend I'll be at the Capclave SF convention in Rockville, MD, a con whose slogan is "Where reading is not extinct." Thus the dodo bird with beanie propeller hat mascot on the right. This is really only the second con I've attended since my twins were born a year ago, so hopefully I won't be too out of practice. Here's my schedule:

It's done.

This trilogy that began with something I dashed off on a laptop back in 1997 or 1998 is now, more or less, finished. Complete. Finito. I have some line editing and a couple of appendices still to write ("On the Islanders" and "On the Pharisees," if you must know). But it's a complete story.

I've received a number of emails from potential readers out there griping that my books aren't available in electronic format.

So how come I'm stuck reading your work on this crummy hunk of pulped wood, jackass?

Infoquake on the Amazon KindleUntil now, my answer has always been, It's not my decision, pal. I don't own the electronic rights. And don't call me a jackass, punk.

Now it can be shown: my editor Lou Anders has posted on the Pyr blog the cover art and synopsis for Geosynchron, the last book in my Jump 225 Trilogy. Here, without further ado, it is. (You can also view a larger version.)

The cover painting is once again by the incomparable Hugo Award-winning artist Stephan Martiniere, whose paintings for the covers of Infoquake and MultiReal have been blowing minds for many a month.
