Jim Aikin, whose The Wall at the Edge of the World is one of my all-time favorite books, and whose Walk the Moon's Road is up there with Dune in the world-building department, is finally, at long last, putting out a new book: The Leafstone Shield.

Regrettably, for my personal taste, it is fantasy, but as with Tolkien I'll just have to set aside my general distaste for the genre. It's Jim Aikin, after all...
