I bought this for half-price when the novelette alone was the FBOTM and it was the tie-in deal. Well worth it, IMHO.

Wish they'd waited until they had more of the pipelined Sheffield stuff so they could do another tie-in deal or maybe bundle the novellas by his widow Nancy Kress, but the month-long coupon is not bad.

Incidentally, "wining novelette" makes me think that the story's going out boozing with the awards.

Just another boozy novelette.

Heh.

Sheffield's stories are really good.

I thought maybe that was a commentary on the state of mind necessary to enjoy the story?

Their site has a slight problem w/ typos (we won't mention the email they sent this month, half of which still referred to December and I linked directly to the login page, since the website still had the place to click with last month's book).
