The Law of Nines Terry Goodkind. Putnam, $27.95 (512p) ISBN 978-0-399-15604-5
Bestseller Goodkind (Confessor) ventures into thriller territory with results sure to please fans of his fantasy fiction. In the opening pages, Alex Rahl, the book's unwitting hero, saves the beautiful Jax from being run down on the street in Orden, Neb., by a plumbing truck flying a pirate flag. Jax, who turns out to be from an alternate reality where evildoers are attempting to seize control of her civilization, has traveled to Nebraska to seek Alex's help in saving her people. In Jax's world, magic takes the place of technology, but on earth she's stripped of her powers and forced to fight armed with only her trusty dagger. The author takes his time setting all this up, but once the story gets rolling, it's a gripping ride as the bad guys whoosh in between their world, which remains unseen, and ours. Fantasy and thriller readers alike will find themselves swept along to the final confrontation and looking forward to the next installment. (Sept.)

I want Celebrity Death Match:

Terry Goodkind vs ICE, SE, RJ, and Jim Butcher.

They fight with their creations... in fact, if I do some terrible fan fic, this will be it.

Why didn't it say anything about rape in the description. You know it will be an interval part of the script.

Wait Wait Wait.

What happened in the very first SoT book?

KAHLAN LEFT HER WORLD (MIDDLE) TO SEEK HELP FROM SOMEWHERE, BEING CHASED BY BAD GUYS THAT HER MAGIC WAS USELESS AGAINST. OH GOD. IT IS JUST THIS BAD. I GUARANTEE THE WORD RAPE IS IN THE FIRST 3 CHAPTERS. I BET THIS TIME good-RAHL IS A RAPIST BUT A GOOD RAPIST WHO ONLY RAPES PEOPLE WHO DESEREVES IT BECAUSE THE PROTAGANIST OF ANY BADKIND BOOK CAN DO NO WRONG!

Hold on, having an Anuerysm.

This is the funniest thing I have ever read. After the Stanek stuff and then celebrating due to Newcombe being dropped by his publisher for bad sales, this is the hat trick. Solid comedy gold.
