I just got my copy of
The Human Division by John Scalzi, so of course that means I'll be posting the weekly episodes here from this point forward. If you're wondering what I'm referring to,
The Human Division has been serialized - each "episode" or chapter comes out every week through April (
Here's the schedule). At the end of that time, it will be published as the book you can see above. (Also, if it's unclear that I'm joking about posting the episodes, I'm joking.)
I think the claim is funny that it's a new and innovative format that's being "experiment[ed]" with. Because books have never been serialized ever...not even Scalzi's own first two novels,
oh wait. I guess I have to give them that it's not a thing that's done as often anymore, so I guess it's an experiment to see if it still works, which I'm sure it will. Scalzi's just a fun author no matter how you read him.
As to the other John, I'm extremely excited about this one:

John Marco took a break for a little while, partially on purpose and partially because his
editor didn't read his manuscript for a couple years. I'm very excited to see him back in the game. This book continues the story of the Bronze Knight, which began in the trilogy,
The Eyes of God,
The Devil's Armor, and
The Sword of Angels.
Marco's work in progress at the moment is blowing my mind with awesome too. It's titled
The Bloody Chorus, which already has me sold, but you gotta read
some of the description and the
six sentences he posted. It's brilliant, I can tell already. Like I said, I'm very happy he's back.
