Posted on February 22, 2011 by Ali Fisher

Tonight I'll be at the Housing Works Bookstore Cafe in NYC with a slew of my fellow Tor fanatics chatting up authors Jo Walton (AMONG OTHERS) and Charles Stross (THE TRADE OF QUEENS), scoping out the giveaways, jammin to Ninja Sex Party, and wearing a pair of wicked red galaxy leggings. If you're in the area, stop on by!

TONIGHT, Tuesday, February 22 at 7:00 PM
126 Crosby Street, New York, NY 10012

And after the event, when you're all geeked out, get your drink on with the Tor.com team at the Botanica Bar.

Grab a Dreadnought!

Posted on September 22, 2010 by Ben Rubinstein

EDIT: All of my free copies of Dreadnought are gone, but thank you for your interest! If it makes any difference, I can't wait to get off work and read the last 50 pages -- it's that good!

You know all about Cherie Priest, right? The Seattle Times called her "the high priestess of steampunk," and for good reason! Her last title, Boneshaker, won the Locus award for Best Sci-Fi Novel, and was among Publishers Weekly best 100 books of the year.

Dreadnought comes out next week, but this is your chance to get a finished copy early and free!
