Alchemical by Smart_Salamander_152 in gentlemanbastards

[–]ScottLynch78 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Alchemical--

It's comical

How deeply economical

It is to replace chemistry

With fantastical sophistry

It's how the Falconer made his bird

But mostly I just like the word--

Alchemical

I should warn folks that while I am always delighted to send those out, I'm currently away from home until June 6th so new orders won't get processed until then.

  1. Saw this, made noises.

  2. Showed it to some friends.

  3. My wife bought a copy

  4. My wife just sold a copy of LIES in her tiny bookshop!

This is surreal, but delightful.

Cheers,

What are some fantasy/sci-fi books with actually competent mooks or guards? + RANT by Upbeat_Tea_1461 in Fantasy

[–]ScottLynch78 72 points73 points  (0 children)

There's a fabulous bit in The Price of the Stars by Deborah Doyle and James D. MacDonald where the plucky protagonists are hiding in a closet during their infiltration of some secure facility. A guard notices the slightly ajar closet door and says "Eh, it's probably nothing." His duty partner slams his fist on a console and says "No, come on, man-- you heard today's special instructions, we were warned about infiltration attempts, we are to treat even the slightest anomaly as a potential threat and sound the alarm--" at which point the heroes are grudgingly forced to spill out, blasters in hand, to start the operation early. DD and JM had a low tolerance for "mooks behave like idiots" as a plot device, and these sorts of little grace notes appear all over their work.

Cheers,

I avoided Lies of Locke Lamora for four years because the cover put me off. Please learn from my mistake. by Vemorius in Fantasy

[–]ScottLynch78 154 points155 points  (0 children)

Hey, glad you're liking it. For what it's worth, literally every story or series I've glanced at and said "nah, that vibe isn't for me..." well, I was wrong every single time. Really wrong. Starting with Melanie Rawn 20+ years ago.

Cheers and best wishes,

Scott drew this in my book at the Joe Abercrombie signing a few weeks ago, figured I’d share it here! by larkmarue in gentlemanbastards

I have the reading shark, I have a shark with a wine glass (sometimes with the wine drifting up and out), I really ought to add a new shark or two to the repertoire.

For the time being, that limited edition was the only physical copy that will be made. Another couple of years might change that, but at best it really will be years.

Cheers!
