OK. Who's read him? Who hasn't?
I'm curious, because Matt just turned in a proposal for three new Overworld novels, and the strenght of the proposal must be coupled with the strength of his sales. So who's buying?
I need to know. And if you post enough, I betcha I can get him to drop in and say 'hello', which he doesn't do much...

Well, as I said before, you were spot-on in your praise of Mieville, so I'm getting Heroes Die shortly. As soon as I read it, I'll tell you, but I'm really looking forward to it.

Shehzad -- Miéville is easy, everyone is praising him. Stover is a harder sell, but is well worth the effort. God's sakes, he was the one that brought PERDIDO to my attention in the first place!
You *will like* HEROES DIE. You will like BLADE OF TYSHALLE even more.
I promise.

Okay - I have in my possession an ARC of Matthew Woodring Stover's IRON DAWN - anyone interested in doing a trade for something else (I have 2 copies of IRON DAWN incase you are wondering http://www.sffworld.com/ubb/smile.gif )

Hey, Curledup!

Groovy.

I've read him, and am convinced that he's one of the best contemporary sf/f writers out there. I've done my best to spread that word, too! Three more Overworld novels is something spectacular to look forward to...

I *LOVED* Heroes Die.
So far 2/2 for the recommendations!
Ash up next...
