So, some very exciting news:<\/p>\n

INVASIVE got a\u00a0starred review<\/em> from Kirkus<\/strong><\/span><\/a>. It’s my first starred review, actually, and so it’s made all the more exciting. It’s a crackerjack review, but I like the last couple sentences the best:<\/p>\n

“Think Thomas Harris\u2019 Will Graham and Clarice Starling rolled into one and pitched on the knife\u2019s edge of a scenario that makes\u00a0Jurassic Park<\/i>\u00a0look like a carnival ride. Another rip-roaring, deeply paranoid thriller about the reasons to fear the future.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Thanks to Kirkus for the very kind review.<\/p>\n

Also, thanks to Harper for making this book like\u00a0aces<\/em>. The inside pages look like this:<\/p>\n

Little ants, crawling out from the binding…<\/p>\n

And, since it seems a good day to post a relevant macro (click photo for larger):<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Love that shot. Kind of a TAKE YOUR LARVAE TO WORK DAY kinda shot. You can, if you blow the photo up, see the fine golden hairs on the larvae that let it clump together with the other anty-grublings. Found this one when me and B-Dub were out in the woods looking around for bugs (“bug hunt,” he calls it), and we discovered\u00a0a trail of carpenter ants carrying the brood — and the line went pretty much right up to the dead tree next to the writer shed, which leads me to believe these ants are the fanboys who sometimes make it inside when I’m writing.<\/p>\n

You can pre-order INVASIVE<\/strong> now — it comes out in August. Nab from:<\/p>\n

Indiebound<\/span><\/a> | Amazon<\/span><\/a> | B&N<\/span><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Also, today’s the day\u00a0ZER0ES<\/strong> comes out in paperback! Hackers versus the NSA, baby. Note that while\u00a0INVASIVE<\/strong> takes place in the same universe as\u00a0ZER0Es<\/strong>, you don’t need one book to understand the other.<\/p>\n

Grab the\u00a0Zer0es<\/strong> paperback at:<\/p>\n

Indiebound<\/span><\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Amazon<\/a><\/span>\u00a0|\u00a0B&N<\/span><\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And<\/em>, Star Wars: Aftermath<\/strong> is a Bookbub promotion, so $1.99 for Kindle<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Aaaaand<\/i>, last week saw the third issue of\u00a0Hyperion<\/strong> come out from Marvel. I wrote it, art by Nik Virella, colors by Romulo Fajardo, so excited to see this one land. Grab digital here<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

LOOK AT THE PRETTY PRETTY PAGE<\/p>\n

And finally:<\/p>\n

Kameron Hurley’s\u00a0Geek Feminist Revolution<\/strong> comes out today (nab it here if you please<\/strong><\/span><\/a>) — as I said on my blurb, I’ll pretty much read anything Kameron writes, because she’s fearless and fighty and she gives the proper amount of fucks. This is a good book, a\u00a0challenging<\/em> book, and it dishes a lot of deep thought and sharp wit when it comes down to geek culture’s feminist intersections. Go read it. Thus endeth the lesson.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
