Sneak peek at L.M. Bujold's next novel

Lois McMaster Bujold's next novel, The Hallowed Hunt, will be published next month. Right now, the first chapter is available on the HarperCollins website. Chapters 2-4 will be made available over the next few weeks.

Note: Unlike previous samples, this is made available as a PDF, so you'll need Adobe Acrobat Reader or an equivalent package to read the sample.

For a lot of Bujold fans, the "Chalion" series of fantasy novels are an unwelcome distraction from her "Vorkosigan" science fiction stories. Her last novel, Paladin of Souls won me over to the new fantasy works. Go have a read: it's free, and you might just enjoy it.
