Less than two weeks to go!

SF&F Literati storm the gates of Hell in March
Date: Monday, March 26, 2018, at 7:00 p.m.
Title: Who Wants to be The Prince of Darkness?
Author: Michael Boatman
Available from: Fine Booksellers, including Barnes & Noble
Meeting Location: Barnes & Noble #2352, 2nd Floor, 11323 W. 95th Street, Overland Park, KS 66214
NOTE: All are welcome to the meeting, whether you’ve read the book or not.

Overview:
Lucifer is enjoying his retirement in an obscure corner of Limbo when he learns of a plot by Gabriel, the current ruler of Hell, to use humanity’s greatest weapon against it – Television!

Cue the hottest reality game-show ever conceived: Who Wants To Be The Prince Of Darkness? Gabriel orchestrates an “Infernal takeover” of Earth by stealing unwitting mortal souls and sending them to a mostly empty Hell, hoping to reinvigorate the Infernal Realm.

Now Lucifer must find a living champion to seize control of Hell and free millions of stolen mortal souls before the theft becomes permanent. But who would ever want to be Hell’s champion?

Many thanks to Amazon, for this book description.

About a week left! Do you have your copy?

Time flies. Don't miss the SF&F Literati!
Monday, September 25, 2017: The Outsorcerer's Apprentice, by Tom Holt
7:00 p.m., on the 2nd floor of the Oak Park Barnes & Nobles, 11323 W. 95th Street, Overland Park, KS 66214

Do you have your copy yet?
The Outsorcerer's Apprentice, by Tom Holt 

A happy workforce, it is said, is a productive workforce.

Mmmm.

Try telling that to an army of belligerent goblins. Or the Big Bad Wolf. Or a professional dragons layer. Who is looking after their well-being? Who gives a damn about their intolerable working conditions, lack of adequate health insurance, and terrible coffee in the canteen?

Thankfully, with access to an astonishingly diverse workforce and limitless natural resources, maximizing revenue and improving operating profit has never really been an issue for the one they call "the Wizard." Until now.

Because now a perfectly good business model -- based on sound fiscal planning, entrepreneurial flair, and only one or two of the infinite parallel worlds that make up our universe -- is about to be disrupted by a young man not entirely aware of what's going on.


There's also a slight risk that the fabric of reality will be torn to shreds. You really do have to be awfully careful with these things.
