For all you George RR Martin fans, there is a book he recently released with two other authors called Hunter's Run. It's Sci-Fi and it's had remarkably good reviews for a book written by more than one person. The e-book version is available at the Diesel store, and I'm not sure where else.
I haven't read it yet (trying to decided on an e-reader) but I love his other books! I found the large number of characters frustrating to begin with (especially since some of them have the same name) but it's definitely worth digging in because almost all of them are developed very well, and not necessarily how you would expect.
I hate books that are black and white with characters who are evil just for the sake of it, and George Martin definitely uses many shades of gray. My only frustration is that I can never decide who to root for! Some of the scenes are a certainly a little "cruder" than I prefer, but they all generally serve a purpose and Martin is most definitely worth a read for anyone who likes fantasy books at all.
