UK tour dates for Abercrombie!

Joy be to the United Kingdom, for we now have an itinerary for Red Country events scattered across mainland Britain during October like shining stars across the sable cloth of the heavens. Lunchtime events tend to be signings only, evening events tend to be with a reading and Q&A. We don't have firm times on the two scottish dates, yet, I'll post as soon as we do. For ticket prices, contact the relevant store, probably somewhere around the £3-5 mark, and often they're redeemable against the price of a book.

Rules of engagement – I'll pretty much sign anything I've written, so by all means bring old books with you, though it would be only good manners to the store to be buying at least one book at the same time. Dedications and lines are no problem, but I don't draw. If you've got a big stack of books and there's something of a queue you might be asked to wait until the end. Proofs are a slightly different matter, as policies are prone to shift, so I can't promise to give you whatever you'd like in a proof, but honestly I usually do…

... how the hell can I get this RIGHT FUCKING YESTERDAY?

I mean, I thought Last Argument of Kings was fairly weak (I'll have to write a review at some point explaining why), but anything potentially involving the Bloody Nine needs to shoved down my pants forthwith read immediately.



(I tried to post this elsewhere, but it didn't work).

Purchased! Lets rock!

[Silk]

more like lets roll...... roll some heads ;o)

Just love how Shy goes from He is such a coward to OMG I don't know the man in a matter of pages.

[Silk]

As I get further into the book I find myself re-aligning my list of bad asses to have at your back while visiting those shady places of various worlds...

I goes without saying that Wolverine is at the top but heck this book is making 9 fingers have a serious run at no2 and dislodging the mighty Torvald of Nom down to number 3.......

9 Fingers is an awesome badass but I wouldn't want him anywhere fucking near my back.

[Silk]

ok, maybe at my side as having my back means i'm in the way..... and you don't wanna be in the way

Any thoughts as to who:

Spoiler

The Mayor was?

I kind of get the impression she's meant to be another character from previous books hiding out under an assumed name, but can't figure out who.

[Silk]

I have a feeling she may have had something to do with the spicers guild.......

Spoiler

the head honcho herself who was removed from power by the Arch Lector during his stay in Dakoska), this is the only reason i can explain her reaction to Khadia's name and Temple may not have had the pleasure of meeting her there.... can't remember her name though

Yes, I think I know, but I also can't remember her name.

Spoiler

She made an appearance in Best Served Cold, IIRC she was semi-poisoned by Murcatto and that other lady.

[Illuyankas]

Pretty sure it was

Spoiler

Carlot something something. Van Eider? Something like that.

Also,

Spoiler

I liked how they never once said Logen's name during the whole book, just referenced it.

[champ]

I wish I had reread before starting this but didn't have the time, sure I've missed loads of references.

Off to the book signing tonight! Should be fun!
