The Law and novella

[morriswalters]

Of course Harry killing the Queen of Summers child without any apparent retaliation is suspicious, does she know something Harry doesn’t?

You seemed to have missed the premise for Small Favor.

And where's the "Jim lies" bit?  Not that I disbelieve you... I just didn't see it.

It's what he's paid to do.  In the books he uses Bob.  Otherwise if his lips are moving.........

[Conspiracy Theorist]

Nope they failed.

I don't have the link anymore, but in one of his appearances he mentioned there were a very small number of occasions where he had to lie in Q&A's to avoid spoilering things he had planned. I understood that as mostly applying to situations where declining the question would have been a big hint in and of itself.

[Conspiracy Theorist]

Yes but is he lying about the times he lied?

Naw, I don't think he can remember, the series has been a long one and he has done thousands of the these Q&As...  Details are going to elude him, so I don't think he lies exactly, then again..

I believe that one of the key things Jim's "Beta Readers" do these days, is to track "Dresden'verse canon," spot inconsistencies, &c.  They obviously cannot catch his verbal slips and errors in live events...    

I wonder if they have a private channel for "Jim goofed ... again."

Maybe the Betas can, and they do a good job when he writes a book. However they cannot be at every live appearance, screen all the questions before hand, and Jim has written millions of words over the years, he isn't going to remember every detail.

A look at some artwork and a synopsis for The Law at Subterranean Press press.  The price made my eyes water.

The lettered edition is more than I make in a month. Lol
I'll wait for an ebook, thanks.

[Conspiracy Theorist]

A bit more info than we have previously had.

We knew it was Marcone, as the ultimate antagonist but the two Lawyers? Previously Harry relied upon Father Forthill who is also a qualified lawyer and veritable saint. Is he the lawyer who might be more than he seems? Or a new character? The one who is definitely more than he seems might be an entirely new character. We have seen Mab as a lawyer and White Court Lawyers, I am not entirely sure Harry would go for either. Demi-god? the cover makes me think of Justicia, The junior Roman Goddess of Justice, one of the four virtues is that the Lawyer who definitely more than they seem? Forthill might br Uriels man in the fight, If so Justicia might be Hades? The Greco Roman Etruscan gods are so entwined.

Mmm, this is definitely interesting. Of course, I will wait for an ebook. As much as I would like to have a book signed by Jim, this is too much (and it would be even more with the shipping).

[Conspiracy Theorist]

Didn’t Jim split Peace Talks and Battle Ground because he didn’t want fans to pay $50 for a single book?

I have the Audio book on order as I have the credit.

These are signed limited editions, with colorful art. Of course they are expensive.

[Conspiracy Theorist]

I was enjoying the irony, Jim is quite happy for a limited number of fans to pay more than $50.

Yeah, so they'd pay close to thirty each for two books, he makes a few more bucks that way..
