Agreed. I also need to get used to the new Hera, but she has the right personality, and the rest of the cast is terrific.I'm going to cross the streams a little. Ray Stevenson, who plays the menacing former Jedi Baylon Skoll, passed away recently. I can't help but think he would have been the right choice to play Shaxs in a live action Star Trek Lower Decks. May he rest in peace.
Many copies on ebay priced from $4 to $6 shipping included.
I really enjoyed Venomous Lumpsucker by Ned Beauman. It's just the kind of book Tom would pick for S+L to read.

Finished and enjoyed Ninth House. Found Hell Bent in my local library so I picked it up on Overdrive and started.
Uncanny Magazine's Year 10: A Decade of Delightful Defiance Kickstarter, now concluded, passed $55,000, activating a Scalzi stretch goal. Essayist Scalzi will be writing a column for every issue in Year 10! Uncanny is bimonthly, so that's a grand total of six Scalzi essays. For the record, Scalzi will be paid $100 per essay. Kickstarter funding means that all contributors will be paid fair rates, just like Scalzi.https://twitter.com/UncannyMagazine/s...

I like O'Malley's storytelling, but I read ebooks, not the audio versions. The TV adaptation of the Rook is visually fascinating and suspenseful. I think it's worth a watch if you get the opportunity. However, it's not quite the same story as the novel.
John (Taloni) wrote: "Kind of funny, I do love the Dresden Files. But when I think "Fantasy" my mind doesn't go there. I guess I need a secondary world for my brain to kick over. "When I look at the series that I have read to completion or up-to-date, I find a multitude of urban fantasy titles. In addition to the Dresden Files and the Green Bone Saga, there are Rivers of London, Kitty Norville, Sandman Slim, Twenty Palaces, Alex Verus and more.
