The Bodhisattva

So Damon goes over my helmet and announces a contest of his own to which it will land on yours truly to properly present.

Here is a wonderful chance for all of you haven’t bought the first ten Vlad Tatos books to jump on with the eleventh! This time you will have a special treat however, this copy is signed by Brust who among other things is Damon’s literary idol! So excited was Damon, that he injured himself (taken from our forum):

“Listen I tore a ligament/tendon in my shoulder last night”

“I’m in a sling currently and on percocet”

“the bleeding sucks”

“it was a bloody mess”

“one that was cracked already, but you are right the bleeding sucks”

Here is the source of his excitement:

Synopsis:

Fresh from the collapse of his marriage, and with the criminal Jhereg organization out to eliminate him, Vlad decides to hide out among his relatives in faraway Fenario. All he knows about them is that their family name is Merss and that they live in a papermaking industrial town called Burz.

At first Burz isn’t such a bad place, though the paper mill reeks to high heaven. But the longer he stays there, the stranger it becomes. No one will tell him where to find his relatives. Even stranger, when he mentions the name Merss, people think he’s threatening them. The witches’ coven that every Fenarian town and city should have is nowhere in evidence. And the Guild, which should be protecting the city’s craftsmen and traders, is an oppressive, all-powerful organization, into which no tradesman would ever be admitted.

Then a terrible thing happens. In its wake, far from Draegara, without his usual organization working for him, Vlad is going to have to do his sleuthing amidst an alien people: his own.

Thanks to Mr. Brust and Tor (you know the people who are killing lesser known writers with their new website as if they were the Death Star if you will and new talent were citizens of Alderaan)!

Damon was able to stay lucid enough to offer instruction on how to enter. Drop an email at:

admin@fantasybookspot.com and…

“Title of the Post should be Jhegaala (if you spell it wrong you are disqualified!!
Your forum id for this forum (sign up for one if you dont have it already)
and your mailing address, that way I dont have to ask for it when/if you win”

Luckily I’m a practitioner of High Denul so he will survive so have no worries. You may be interested in reading old school FBS by reading an interview with Brust from some years ago that is rather…well odd.

Enjoy and good luck to all who enter!

I have a few on the way myself…
