To quote the great Matthew Woodring Stover:
"He'd thought he was tough, back then. Only later, when the most use he had for his hands was shoving a glycerine suppository up his ass and manually disimpacting his bowels, did he find out how tough he really wasn't. The first time Shanna had heard him sobbing, and found him sitting on the toilet with shit all over his futile fists, splattering it in child's footprints across his dead thighs as he tried to pound some feeling, some use, back into them, he realized that he had been kidding himself all along. He'd never be tough enough for this." |

To be fair, Shanna was pretty lame. He could do better, like... fuck. Was her name Talann? The one who Berne killed on the bridge?
Or T'Passe. |

Or anyone? She left him in his moment(s) of need. Again, and again, and again, and again.
What a selfish bitch. |

I'm rereading Blade of Tyshalle right now. I have to say, while I love this book, I hope Caine Black Knife is closer to Heroes Die in tone. Blade of Tyshalle is just so... bleak. So very bleak. It horrifies me every time I read it. |

Because it's a depiction of your future? |

If only.
Nah, I could really just go without reading another description of some poor woman's breasts being eaten. |

So the bookstore calls me tonight to tell me that my ordered copy of Caine Black Knife is in.
The kicker? They called while there were paramedics in my living as I was on my way to the hospital with my mom.
Just got back now. She's doing a lot better.... but I have no book yet. |

So I'm reading this book... good stuff, but it's looking a little short, probably since it got split in half.
One thing I did not expect was an Orbek sex scene. |

They did, in fact. The order date for the store was September 29th which wasn't the sell date, but the manager really didn't give a shit apparently. Either that or he was completely unaware; it's not like Caine Black Knife is a well-known title.
Edit: This guy really does have a gift with words: "His head exploded like a meat grenade."
Edit 2, because doubleposting is bad: Seriously, this whole book was proceeding pretty much as expected until this huge wtf at page 274. Seriously. WTF. I can't even elaborate. |

Why do you have the book? I hate you. What's the name of the store so I can report them? |
