Thanks all for checking out the website. I like the way it looks too, but it's all about the content, not the aesthetics, and I know that Pat's blog kicks ass in that department. Also, I'll consider the site a success if someone other than myself reads it

Incidentally, are you gonna do a review of Brass Man, if you're reading it at the moment? I love that book
Looks like a good site so far, bookmarked it for future reference:)
Chris - by the way, I believe it's "Medalon", not Medalion;)

I'll probably finish up "Brass Man" today or tomorrow and will then write up a review, though I'll probably post 2-3 others before it. Good stuff. I'm really enjoying it. Thanks for bookmarking the site!

It's nowhere as good as his recent stuff anyway, by all accounts;)

Btw, I posted a new review on the site. If you haven't ever heard of Caitlin R. Kiernan, then I urge you to check her out. Here's an excerpt:
Always on the lookout for a new author to sink my teeth into, I first heard about Caitlin R. Kiernan when I saw that her latest novel "Daughter Of Hounds" was being released in January ’07. Upon further research, I discovered that this was merely the newest entry involving psychic Deacon Silvey. Knowing that, I decided to check out Ms. Kiernan’s previous works first, starting with her sophomore effort novel "Threshold".

Oh yeah, just posted a review of Mr. Asher's "Brass Man." Here's an excerpt:
According to the USA edition’s jacket description, “Brass Man” is a sequel to Neal Asher’s impressive debut “Gridlinked”, which first introduced readers to ECS (Earth Central Security) agent Ian Cormac. What it fails to mention is that “Brass Man” is actually a direct sequel to “The Line Of Polity”, which is mysteriously unavailable here in the United States. For diehard Asher fans, I doubt this is much of a problem since the books have been available for a while now in the UK & Canada – in fact, they’ve already had the luxury of a fourth Ian Cormac novel – but for those of us stateside and those readers new to Mr. Asher it can be a bit confusing. So, after digging around some, I’ve determined that the available Cormac novels should be read in the following order: 1. “Gridlinked” 2. “The Line Of Polity” 3. “Brass Man” and 4. “Polity Agent.”
You can check out the full review at www.fantasybookcritic.blogspot.com. In short, I loved it!!!
