Peter F Hamilton’s Temporal Void has just arrived!
It’s the second book in his Void trilogy (the first is The Dreaming Void). I’ve got no idea what the second book is going to be about (or like), but if the first book were any indication, I suspect I’ll be reading it most of tonight and tomorrow and enjoying every single bit of it…
Come on in if you want it. Give us a call if you can’t make it in!

We did get a small amount of other books… The interesting ones are:
The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman
1634: The Baltic War by David Weber and Eric Flint
Nation by Terry Pratchett.

One other book that TONS of people have been waiting for and asking about: Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch
Yes, we’ve finally gotten it back in. No, we’re not expecting to run out anytime soon. Yes, we have regularly been wrong about that…

Lies of Locke La-AWESOME

Locke Lamora is the most talented and audacious thief in Camorr. Trained from childhood as a purse-snatcher and conartist, his band of miscreats “The Gentlemen Bastards” have concocted one of the most elaborate confidence scams in memory. if it works, they’ll be as rich as nobility. if they get caught… Hanging will be a mercy.
The Lies of Locke Lamora is intriguing, action packed and sometimes genuinely hilarious. If you like your anti-heroes as fast as their wits as with a sword then this is a book you need to read.
You may wonder how Scott Lynch could possibly improve on perfection for the sequel, Red Seas under Red Skies?
Easy. Just add pirates.
