The line ouside of Best Buy was around the corner since I got into work.
A lot of people describe Scalzi’s Old Man's War novels as military science fiction, but I would classify its sequel Zoë’s Tale as a space opera. It’s a story about, well, Zoë, a teenage girl whose parents are invited to take leadership roles in building a colony on a new planet. Zoë is an enthusiastic member of the group sent to colonize Roanoke, despite the risks—and the risks are considerable even before the political machinations of greater powers boil to the surface.

Thanks, Midnyht. Â Robin Hobb is great. Â Be aware, however, those books don't follow a traditional 'epic fantasy' plot, which is part of what makes them so great. Â They are really just focused on Fitz and a person and his life. Â
The more I read by Hobb, the better she gets.
Wow, yeah. That would be extremely fast.
[I started to say something about how your much longer books would probably end up being a more complicated editing process, but then I read it over and realized I'm making little sense and should probably try to say it again in the morning.]
But I do think I made sense with this part--
Then you have to account a lot of time for production, design, and all that (to get all that stuff in time for the sales team), especially if you're going to do ARCs. Plus the time for blurbs, reviews, etc. We're getting ARCs done a good 9 months or so before publication date for the first book so that the sales force will have it in time. Not sure how Tor's timeline works on that end, but I'm assuming it's similar from distributor to distributor (given what I know about how it worked when we worked with Tor's distributor).
Building back from publication dates, that ends up being a longer time than most would expect.
