Now is the time to speak of books! Books and also authors and the myriad way things happen.
@MikeRUnderwood is one of those authors whose work has been so consistently excellent, artful, and above all, kind, that I've never been able to understand why he's not already a global superstar.
@MikeRUnderwood He legitimately deserves the approbation afforded to the Neil Gaimans and Jim Butcher's of the world, for all that his work is very different from theirs.
@MikeRUnderwood Frequently, he seems to be running juuuuuust ahead of a big trend, missing the "strike it big" moment by milliseconds. His Geekomancy books, for example, are still available, and VERY worth your time.
@MikeRUnderwood His latest, and upcoming, work, ANNIHILATION ARIA, is possibly the best thing he's ever written. This is the book he's been building toward, and it shows.
@MikeRUnderwood The author's note at the back says he wanted to write a book that felt the way GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY made him feel, and he accomplished it. This is pure space opera, wild and wacky and silly and strange, high-stakes and deeply personal all at once.
@MikeRUnderwood I could not be happier to have read this book. Recommended for fans of...

@timpratt's AXIOM
TEENAGERS FROM OUTER SPACE (the RPG)
GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY
KILLJOYS
@MikeRUnderwood @timpratt And really, that's the feeling I most took away from this book. Like I was reading the novelization of someone's kick-ass TFOS campaign.
@MikeRUnderwood @timpratt I love that game so much, there was no way I wouldn't love the book with equal fervor, even though they're completely unconnected.
