Mind the Hole. In a world of ozone depletion, toxic deadzones, internicine brew-ups and lifeless oceans, nothing has changed. Or so it seems, but in the break-away Lakota Nation, in the heart of a land blistered beneath an ozone hole the size of the Great Plains of North America, something is happening.

Tracked by a growing global audience of online subversives and electronic muckers, a lone anthropologist wanders the deadlands, recording observations that threaten to bring the world's powers to their knees.

Past and future; restless ghosts and rogue corporations; rad-shielded cities and unprotected peripheral populations; all now face each other, across a chasm once wide but growing ever narrower.

Mother Earth is poisoned beyond any hope of resuscitation. Humanity beyond any hope of redemption -- but one last lesson of life awaits...

When Nature starts losing the game, Nature changes the rules. We've turned paradise into Hell, and in Hell, the Devil Delivers...

QFTx2.

Totally enjoyed this. VERY different in all respects from the Malazan books but clever, interesting, entertaining and makes the thinkymeatz work. Worth the read.

- Abyss, impressed.

Where might one get a copy of this? I checked both Amazon and Chapters with no luck. The PS Publishing link says the book is out of stock. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated Posted Image

I don't know which country you are from, but here a few options, of varying prices, many of which have international shipping available :) Hope one of them is a good option for you, and welcome to the forum!

Bought a signed copy of The Devil Delivered from an inventory sell out at Clarksworld. Just finished reading and I was blown away by this story. It is novelette size so a very quick read compared to a Malazan book. It is a story about environmental ruins,life extinctions and life adaptations. It paints a brutal picture of where our current world may be headed but as always with SE there is some hope and beauty to ponder. I think I will be pondering this story for a long time. If you can find this book do buy it. Everyone should read this book. It is recognizably the potential for our world written large and as a fantasy with a bit of scifi.

Woah, $16.25 US or £16.12 on UK - is the UK price a major rip-off or what?

I'm curious as to what other stories will be on it

"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

I really like how, similar to most of SE's titles, The Devil Delivered can be taken multiple ways. As if the Devil was the object of the sentence, as if he's been delivered and there's now a Devil on your doorstep. Or that the Devil, subject, has delivered (on his promises, on his reputation, etc). Or of course, delivered can mean "set free". Kind of a Pandora's Box reading.

You forgot 'the Devil's liver was removed'.
