New imprint, Angry Robots. It’s genres span from science fiction to fantasy, with swashbuckling along side space travel.

Introduced are various authors; they go beyond merely talking about their titles though. The authors are excited to share but at the end of the video there’s a section about e-book signing.

Kindle, Sony E-Reader, iPhone – they all let you buy and read books without purchasing a hard copy. Many folks still enjoy though getting the author to sign their copy of a book. What happens though when most content is downloaded.

Amazon and Sony should create an e-signature standard for digital content. Imagine the author sitting at their workstation and having a queue of requests for digital signatures for their works.

Requests organized by book or song title could be browsed. Each requester allowed one sentence or so many words to describe their signature request. This could even get more fun with creators able to add additional digital content beyond signing the work. How wonderful would it be to get an autographed photo alongside that new album or book.

Solutions are left to the audience and e-reader manufacturers.

This book, Bad Monkeys: A Novel (P.S.), is a mix of science fiction, action thriller, and mystery novel rolled into one. The protagonist is a lady who has lived a life without purpose for many years and finally finds herself living for a purpose but not happy about the choices.

From rough child hood to the life of a killer disposing of Bad Monkeys, our heroine struggles with family, job, and the enemies from both.

This book will keep you captivated through out. Though the story is told as if being told in the past, it has a feel of immediacy to it. Even knowing part of what happens doesn’t diminish the tension at key points.

The gadgets are interesting but really a side bit to the overall plot. Things aren’t quite what they seem either, and you’ll be guessing until the end.

I recommend if you like a bit of scifi in your thriller, and don’t mind a bit of wackiness that you pick this paperback up and enjoy.
