Suvudu in business!

Okay, Suduvu isn't exactly the easiest word to type. In fact, like an old-time Pittsburgh band whose name I could never get right (I called them NECRADECIA when their name was NECRACEDIA), Suvudu isn't any better.

But they have some fantastic things to offer readers. For free, too!

You'll have to register for this service, but they are offering free books from Robin Hobb (a favorite of mine) and Naomi Novik. And more! (Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars series, anyone?)

The idea is to offer the first book in a series. You know, so you'll get hooked and run out to your local independent bookstore and buy the rest.

If you've wanted a safe way to investigate some of the best in the Science Fiction and Fantasy genres, this is it, gang. You can't beat a free book and if you don't like it?

Use that delete key!

Yes, it IS that simple.

Register and everything else via this link.

(Did I mention Robin Hobb???????)

Can you Read French?

Pat's Fantasy Hotlist has a real collectible. Unless you're French or can read the language. If that's the case, he's got quite a prize for you.

Here's what he has to say.

I have five copies of the French graphic adaptation of Robin Hobb's The Farseer, L'Assassin Royal: Le Bâtard, written by Jean-Charles Gaudin and illustrated by Laurent Sieurac, up for grabs, courtesy of the folks at Soleil.

Attention: This contest is open to French, Belgian, and Swiss residents only. Sorry, but it wasn't my decision. . .:/


Oh, shoot! I am a big Robin Hobb fan. And my French may be less than passable, but put bad French together with a prior knowledge of the book and it just might be understandable...

If you're in France, Belgium, or Switzerland, here's the link.
