Woho - Fantasy in Death (UK version) is coming this week!!!



Finally it's time for a new book by Nora Roberts.
"Fantasy in Death" (no. 31) is published this Thursday!!!
If you are lucky and can get your hands on the UK edition (US edition is coming February 23rd), then this week is going to be a great one.
My copy is preordered and should be on it's way right on time. I have a presentation on Thursday and when I'm back home from university this will be my reward.
This also means that the next book by my queen is "Savour the Moment" and that is making me so happy. Only 98 more days until I can finally read it (I will do my best to get it earlier but right now it looks as if I have to wait until the publication date - damn).


What "Fantasy in Death" is about:
Bart Minnock, founder of the computer-gaming giant U-Play, enters his private playroom, and eagerly can't wait to lose himself in an imaginary world, to play the role of a sword-wielding warrior king, in his company's latest top-secret project, Fantastical.
The next morning, he is found in the same locked room, in a pool of blood, his head separated from his body. It is the most puzzling case Eve Dallas has ever faced, and it is not a game. . . .

NYPSD Lieutenant Eve Dallas is having as much trouble figuring out how Bart Minnock was murdered as who did the murdering. The victim's girlfriend seems sincerely grief-stricken, and his quirky-but-brilliant partners at U-Play appear equally shocked. No one seemed to have a prob lem with the enthusiastic, high-spirited millionaire. Of course, success can attract jealousy, and gaming, like any business, has its fierce rivalries and dirty tricks-as Eve's husband, Roarke, one of U- Play's competitors, knows well. But Minnock was not naive, and quite capable of fighting back in the real world as well as the virtual one.

Eve and her team are about to enter the next level of police work, in a world where fantasy is the ultimate seduction-and the price of defeat is death. . . .

Sounds awesome - hopefully I will be able to present you my review this weekend.
