McDonald’s “bollypunk” River of Gods, which impressed the heck out of Shadow, has finally got a U.S. edition, published by Pyr Books (Shadow had to get his from Amazon U.K.). Since I haven’t yet managed to convince Shadow to do guest reviews on this blog, you can read Cory Doctorow’s review of it here.

One response to “Ian McDonald’s River of Gods Now in U.S. Edition”
Actually, I flew to England to buy it (though we did do a few other things while we were there). It was far and away the best genre book I read that year. It may be the best book I’ve read this century. It was a Hugo nominee at Interaction, but it was doomed to lose to a fantasy doorstop, since there was no U.S. edition available prior to voting. My fear that the Hugo novel category had become a publisher’s beauty contest was partially allayed by the victory of SPIN at LA Con last year.
