Finished a really good book yesterday and now I'm exceedingly pissed off.
The book: "Low Town" (aka "The Straight Razor Cure") by Daniel Polansky. One of the best (easily top 25) fantasy novels I've read in the last decade.
The reason I'm Pissed:
"Low Town" is the first part of a (so far) four part series. It also works well as a stand alone work. Nine different libraries and an assortment of online book sellers can only provide two of the four books in electronic format even though they are recent publications 2010-2014. You can get every bit of tripe that Stephanie Meyers has spewed upon a page but truly good writing... Nope. I can understand not being able to get older books by less well-known authors, but anything in print after about 2000 should also be in ebook format.
At least his new series is 100% available electronically. All one of them (book two is due out next year).
Secular Elf, I'm gonna give those Kobol books a go. I'm not usually one for fanfic, but these sound like that are a bit outside the usual fanfic fare.
