Join Section 37 and the discussion with SF&F Literati Monday!

Save Britain from Zombies on Monday:
The Kansas City SF&F Literati meet MONDAY!
When: November 27, 2017, at 7:00 p.m.
Where: at the Oak Park Barnes & Noble in Overland Park, KS on the second floor
Selection Title: The Clown Service,
First book in The Clown Service series.
Author: Guy Adams.

Join the discussion:
The Kansas City SF&F Literati always host a fun and fascinating conversation. They also warmly welcome new people, even if they haven't read the selection! (You may find you have something to say, anyway!).

About the November selection:
Toby Greene has been reassigned. After one screw-up too many, he finds himself at a largely forgotten branch of the British Intelligence Service, working for August Shining, a Cold War relic, and charged with defending the country from paranormal terrorism. But when an ex-Soviet-era enemy returns with an insidious plan to raise the dead and destroy London, it seems Toby's impossible job is to save Great Britain—whether he believes it or not.

"The Clown Service is fun and rips along like the finest episode of the old Avengers series" —The Independent on Sunday

"I just couldn't put it down ... highly recommended" —FantasyBookReview.co.uk The Clown Service is a Recommended Book of the Month from Fantasy Book Review, which also called it "a fantastic read."

"The Clown Service is a great beginning to what could become a classic series. Guy Adams has all his pieces in place, and ably demonstrates what he can do with them. If the dark gods of publishing -- and his audience -- so decree. ... one of my top three reads of the year" —SFSite.com

"it feels like Men in Black but a lot more British and sensibly funny" —The Bookbag 

"This is the spy thriller that Douglas Adams never wrote ... it's hilarious and well worth your time" —Starburst magazine

Plan ahead:
The SF&F Literati meet most months on the Fourth Monday of the month (no meeting in December, since there's often a conflict with Christmas; Meet a week earlier in May, so there's no conflict with ConQuesT).

MANY THANKS: to Goodreads for the cover art image, and to Amazon for the Editorial review shorts and Description.

KC Horrror Club Movie Outing

Warm Bodies

Details: 
February 9, 2013 2:00pm (Time subject to change, check Facebook)  

Hey everybody!

Let's get together for a Horror Club pre-Valentine's day movie. We will meet in the theater lobby approximately 45 minutes before the movie start time. I will adjust the time once the movie schedule is posted. 

Synopsis:

A funny new twist on a classic love story, WARM BODIES is a poignant tale about the power of human connection. After a zombie epidemic, R (a highly unusual zombie) encounters Julie (a human survivor), and rescues her from a zombie attack. Julie sees that R is different from the other zombies, and as the two form a special relationship in their struggle for survival, R becomes increasingly more human - setting off an exciting, romantic, and often comical chain of events that begins to transform the other zombies and maybe even the whole lifeless world. © Summit
