This thread is really making me want to read the CAINE series again. It's a damn shame BoT is so hard to find, as it is a very good book. Though not up to the £50 price tag some people are hawking it for on amazon. I spent ages trying to find a reasonably priced copy, before eventually getting hold of an ebook version. Here's hoping stover will get these books reprinted at some point, as they are too good to be out of print.

I'll add my recommendation to the pile, this is definitely a book your going to want to pick up, can't wait for the next in the series.

Having recently read straight through the series, it occurs to me that if Act of Atonement doesn't end with Caine ripping Kosall through someone, I'm going to be sorely disappointed.

"Here is light. You will say that it is not a living entity, but you miss the point that it is more, not less. Without occupying space, it fills the universe. It nourishes everything, yet itself feeds upon destruction. We claim to control it, but does it not perhaps cultivate us as a source of food? May it not be that all wood grows so that it can be set ablaze, and that men and women are born to kindle fires?"
―Gene Wolfe, The Citadel of the Autarch

Speaking of Stover awesomeness....here's a link to his blog where he feeds it to a troll who emailed him some nasty comments and pissed on his work....

It is...SO awesome. As if Caine himself was telling this little shit off.

LOVE it!!

Neat site, and huge points for enthusiasm, but i'm a little unclear on just what they're proposing... A self-funded comic?

I can't find these anywhere.

I guess I will have to resort to ordering online...

Probably your best bet but watch out for hideously fucking overpricing on BLADE OF TYSHALLE.
