Shameless plug

I'm a big fan of Eric Nylund's books. (Not the Halo tie-ins - honestly, as a non-gamer I couldn't care less about those - but I've rather liked almost every other book he's written. Signal To Noise was good, but my favorite is the out-of-print Game of Universe.)

He's running a give-away for advance reading copies of his next book, Mortal Coils. By posting this, I get an entry into the drawing. It's due out February 3 and if I don't happen to win one, I'll be buying it.

There aren't many authors I like well enough to buy their books before reading. He's one.
