Heads-up: New Penric and Desdemona novella

[davidgillon]

Seems to have been out about a week, but I didn't see it til last night, at which point I bought it and read it. As you do.

It's a prequel, set between"Penric's Fox" and "Penric's Mission", with Pen and Des trying to track an ascended demon through Lodi's masquerade/feast day for the Bastard, and aided by a saint of the Bastard who's not quite what Pen expected. (Which is his own fault, he should know by now that nothing about the Bastard is ever normal and predictable).

ETA: I suppose the name would help! It's "Masquerade in Lodi"

Thanks! Will check out forthwith. PS Seen the doings at Pireus?

Oops! Well, no one died and she's still afloat, so better than the last four naval vessel vs cruise ship/tanker incidents.

(Venezuelan PC Naiguata sank after deliberately ramming ice-hardened cruise-ship RCGS Resolute in international waters, Apr 2020. No casualties.

HNoMS Helge Ingstad sank after collision with tanker in Norwegian waters. Nov 2018. 7 injured

USS John S McCain, collided with tanker off Singapore, Aug 2017, 10 dead.

USS Fitzgerald, collided with tanker off Japan, Jun 2017. 7 dead)

"A smallish cruise liner specialising in penguin-bothering."

Okay, that's just superb!

And I've now realised Kallisto in the Piraeus incident is an ex-RN Hunt Class, which means she's not just badly bent, she's missing somewhere between a quarter and a third of her entire length and still afloat. Clearly we built her right.

Oooh thank you for the heads-up.
