Thrice for twice

I’m a bit miffed about missing out on Sci-Fi London; it looks like a fantastic event, and being invited personally to something of this calibre (and with a host of pretty cool films on show) having to make my apologies was one of the hardest decisions of the last 12 months. But it was the prudent decision to take in case either the baby was late or I was reduced to a brain-dead civil servant from sleep deprivation after the baby arrived.
Still, despite not attending, I’m all too eager to pimp the event, so click here to have a look at the line-up (I promise I won’t be too envious if you go along).

And while we’re on all things Sci-Fi London, Tor has kindly arranged discounts on a selection of their Sci-Fi/Fantasy releases to celebrate their presence at the weekend’s event. For a limited time only, you can get a number of great books direct from the Macmillan on a 3 for 2 promotion, including hardback and e-books, as well as the paperback releases. Without too much shameless promotion, the paperback of The Secret War and the hardback of The Hoard of Mhorrer are amongst the discounted titles so there’s no better place to go for a copy of either. Or both!

(Personally, I would go for Mieville’s Perdido Street Station or The Scar, along with Charles Stross' The Clan Corporate, and perhaps the paperback of The Secret War; or if you want hardback titles, how about Mieville’s The City and the City, The Hoard of Mhorrer and Neal Asher's The Gabble and Other Stories?
Anyway, I’ll leave that up to you...)
