Matthew Bracken is back. Click on the title link for a sample from the forthcoming conclusion to his trilogy.
Here are my reviews of his first* and second books.
Matt tells me he's about 2/3 of the way through and he's shooting for an early 2009 release.
Good stuff. Can't wait.
And, of course I'll keep you posted.

* Yeah, I know about "dosmetic." I emailed the site admin some time ago and never got a reply.
Great news, I loved the first two and can't wait for the final one.
ReplyDeleteDavid, I'm a regular reader and so am surprised I missed this post when you first put it up. But having read the excerpt, I'm even more surprised you put it up.
ReplyDeleteI own Bracken's first book, and while it's not great fiction I found little to complain about. Posted excerpts from the second one kept me from buying it; all those EEEVIL dirty brown people. Just not my sort of thing, but if that was Bracken's kink who was I to tell him he couldn't have it?
Now with this third one I learn he's not too crazy about black people, either. C'mon - three weeks after an earthquake we've got institutional cannabalism? All them niggas gettin' likkered up and rapin' decent white wimmin? I haven't been so disgusted since I sampled The Turner Diaries, which is what this reads like.
Really, David. I expected better from Bracken, and I certainly expected better from you.
Joel, I sent your comment to Matt. I've given his response a standalone post:
