Hello
to everyone on the PJF Newsletter list! Today we mark Phil's 106th
birthday with an announcement from Meteor House! Their first book for
2024 is . . .
Secrets of the Nine, an omnibus edition containing A Feast Unknown, Lord of the Trees, and The Mad Goblin. With
cover art by Douglas Klauba (coming soon!) and a new introduction to
the omnibus by R. Paul Sardanas (aka “Doc Talos”), this is the
definitive collection of the adventures of Doc Caliban and Lord
Grandrith! This volume also features previously published essays by
Theodore Sturgeon and Art Sippo, as well as a Nine Universe timeline by
Win Scott Eckert and a new afterword to the omnibus by Eckert.
Meteor House also has news about their overdue project, The Full Account.
As they've mentioned elsewhere, weaving two novels together turned out
to be more complicated than expected. And when it comes to Farmer, they
don't do anything halfway, so they kept working on it till they got it
right. But, all the files are now with the printer and the book will be
shipping in the next few weeks!
By the way, no such delays are expected with Secrets of the Nine, most of the book is already laid out and it should ship to customers in June.
And finally I'd like to share a hearty congratulations to my close
friend Christopher Paul Carey on being promoted to Vice President of
Publishing at ERB Inc. Chris was an early contributor to the Farmer
website and an editor and regular contributor to Farmerphile: The Magazine of Philip José Farmer. He also co-authored, with Farmer, The Song of Kwasin, then went on to write three more novellas in the Ancient Opar series: Exiles of Kho; Hadon, King of Opar; and Blood of Ancient Opar. And in his time at ERB Inc., he's done a fantastic job with the ERB Authorized Library, the ERB Universe, and much more!
