Just finishing a re-read of this series and more to follow is great news.
ADVERTISEMENT FOR MYSELF: Today there are new (North American) editions of Old Man's War and The Ghost Brigades available, with zippy new cover and entirely new introductions by me. All the current books in the series will get the new look, culminating in the release of OMW #7 in September. Enjoy!

Apparently, I don't promote my books enough. Apparently, some people don't even know I write books.
So, let's start with some review quotes for SHADOW OF A DEAD GOD.

Just beggars belief. Let’s try to build a society that rewards art and passion rather than exploitation and commodification.
Ian Gibson’s family are having a GoFundMe for funeral costs and a proper headstone. Comic artists don’t die rich, even the very best ones. Reckon all the joy the man gave might make it worth throwing some pennies in the hat, if he made your growing up cooler, funnier, richer.

It's 13 days to go until LEGACY OF A HATED GOD is out. That means if you haven't pre-ordered it by then at the special pre-order price you'll have terrible bad luck!
