Tor.com posts a really positive review of Warbound?!

73 Comments

I just got home from book tour late last night. It was a huge success and I’m pretty sure this is the biggest release I’ve ever had. I’ll write up a recap of that and post tomorrow (with pictures!) but in the meantime here is a review of the Hugo nominated Warbound from Tor.com.

Now when you see that Larry Correia got mentioned on Tor.com you probably groaned and thought, oh what horrible thing did Straw Larry say now?

But it is really positive! http://www.tor.com/blogs/2014/07/warbound-grimnoir-chronicles-larry-correia-appreciation-hugo-nominee  Huh?

This reviewer gets it.

The comments are fun too, because you can immediately tell the people who actually read it from the ones who are regurgitating narrative or the ones who Skimmed Until Offended. For the record I’ve never told writers not to write fiction with a message in it, just that the story and audience entertainment has to come first, but hey, whatever helps them sleep better at night. 🙂

Book bomb (sorta)

Today is not really a full press Book Bomb, but more of a heads up. This amuses me greatly:

“Little Black Book of People I Want to Throat Punch” by Cold Dead Hands

It’s not a written book, but a blank one for you to keep lists in (or whatever). Buying this book does a few things- it helps out the folks at Cold Dead Hands (the 2nd Amendment advocacy group), it’s sure to freak out any liberals who might see it, and it helps out another member of the Monster Hunter Nation (CorreiaTech’s Marketing Dyaimo Jack is proving a point on the power of the MHN) (and getting paid!) So check it out and if it amuses you too, pick up a copy!
