James S. A. Corey BABYLON'S ASHES (Hardcover, Orbit, $27.00) on Saturday, December 10th at 5:00pm - Collectively known as James S.A. Corey, Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck will be on hand to celebrate their book release by reading from and signing the latest novel.  The writing duo that has taken the science fiction world by storm with their series known as The Expanse, now bring us book 6, BABYLON'S ASHES.  From the publisher: "A revolution brewing for generations has begun in fire. It will end in blood.  The Free Navy  -- a violent group of Belters in black-market military ships  -- has crippled the Earth and begun a campaign of piracy and violence among the outer planets.  The colony ships heading for the thousand new worlds on the far side of the alien ring gates are easy prey, and no single navy remains strong enough to protect them.  James Holden and his crew know the strengths and weaknesses of this new force better than anyone.  Outnumbered and outgunned, the embattled remnants of the old political powers call on the Rocinante for a desperate mission to reach Medina Station at the heart of the gate network.  But the new alliances are as flawed as the old, and the struggle for power has only just begun.  As the chaos grows, an alien mystery deepens.  Pirate fleets, mutiny, and betrayal may be the least of the Rocinante's problems. And in the uncanny spaces past the ring gates, the choices of a few damaged and desperate people may determine the fate of more than just humanity."  Don't miss this opportunity to meet this amazing duo at the height of their writing genius!

Along with co-creator Jeffrey C. Wells, Shaenon is the genius behind the long-running and indisputably brilliant webcomic SKIN HORSE!  The 6th collection has just been successfully Kickstarted, and we hope you'll join us to celebrate.  From the description: "You'd think helping inhuman monstrosities with their personal problems would be simple.  But as the Project Skin Horse field team heads to California to parlay with the Zombie Emperor of Colma, nothing can be trusted except for Tip's ability to find a date for a wine country weekend.  All it takes to tear Skin Horse apart is one really bad day. . . ."
