[metalprof]

I found the original link to this blurb on the sffworld website. I'm speechless. Surely this is a joke.

The Law of Nines Terry Goodkind. Putnam, $27.95 (512p) ISBN 978-0-399-15604-5

Bestseller Goodkind (Confessor) ventures into thriller territory with results sure to please fans of his fantasy fiction. In the opening pages, Alex Rahl, the book’s unwitting hero, saves the beautiful Jax from being run down on the street in Orden, Neb., by a plumbing truck flying a pirate flag. Jax, who turns out to be from an alternate reality where evildoers are attempting to seize control of her civilization, has traveled to Nebraska to seek Alex’s help in saving her people. In Jax’s world, magic takes the place of technology, but on earth she’s stripped of her powers and forced to fight armed with only her trusty dagger. The author takes his time setting all this up, but once the story gets rolling, it’s a gripping ride as the bad guys whoosh in between their world, which remains unseen, and ours. Fantasy and thriller readers alike will find themselves swept along to the final confrontation and looking forward to the next installment. (Sept.)

Wow. I knew he had a new book, and it was to be a 'thriller', but I didn't expect anything like that. Still tempted to read it Interesting he decided to keep the Rahl name.

As one of the few diehard "Sword of Truth" fans, even I will be passing on this one.

Ugh.

Ugh.

I loved the "Sword of Truth" series at first, but it became so repetitive from one book to another that it was driving me crazy. The same plot over and over, the characters preaching the same stuff over and over. I kept reading because I wanted to see how it ends. I only have the last 2 books left, but they have been sitting on my shelf because I can't bring myself to actually read them.

This new one really sounds like a joke.

I only got through the first three when I made the conscious decision to stop reading his stuff.

+1 I think I stopped at exactly the same place.

This new one really sounds like a joke.

Like BooB, I checked the calendar for April...
