I hadn't heard of the The Changeover. Thanks for the pointer, I'll give it a whirl. Patrica McKillip's ebooks have been slowly trickling out over time. The Riddle Master series came out back in 1999, with the Forgotten Beast of Eld finally coming out last year about this time. |

I'm not all that hopeful about Fools Run. Warner books is gone and no one seems to have ever heard of Fools Run. I certainly have not seen any copies in bookstores forever. It's not in our library either. It may have been forgotten by everyone including the author. A pity. It's a great book.

I got a used paperback of Fool's Run a couple of years ago for almost nothing, from a charity shop which had a weirdly good selection of obscure/old SF.
I haven't read it yet. |

Do. It's my second favorite from Mckillip after the Riddle Master series. I'm guarding my only copy like gold because I wouldn't want to be without it and it's so hard to find.

It's really good. I really wish it was out in the US as an ebook! I have a paperback copy for now.

Is this legit do you think?
Roger Zelazny's Lord of Light ebook Publisher: Wilder Publications, Inc. Release Date: December 30, 2018 Imprint: Amber Ltd ISBN: 9781515439233 Only at Kobo and Nook (Edit: and Apple US/Canada only) so far of the bigger retailers. (Edit: The publisher and ISBN info match the first five Amber ebooks so it is probably okay, it is hard to find any solid information about this publisher though.)

The ebook publisher for the first 5 Amber books is Amber Ltd, the Zelazny estate's private publisher. I would be a bit wary about any Zelazny book put out by someone else. I've seen a lot of complaints about Wilder. I would also be absolutely shocked if a legit, that Lord of Light was not on Amazon given that Amazon is the biggest ebook store in the US by a large, large margin. I will say that Lord of Light appeared on the iTunes store a year or two ago. When I followed up by sending an email to Jane Lindskold, I was told that it was not legit and the book disappeared a month or two later. |

Amazon can sometimes be slow at listing new books. Since this one was only released a week ago my guess is it will turn up on Amazon in the next few weeks. But there have been so many pirated versions of this book uploaded to all the retailers over the years I am a little wary of this one too. |

Thanks, I just bought it. This is the one book I have wanted as an ebook. I am going to read it as soon as I finish Through Firey Trials, Safehold #10.

Great news. I would say ditto, i.e. just bought it and will read it when I finish Safehold #10. Maybe they will release Creatures of Light and Dark or Dervish the Damned next.
