The Avenger: Roaring Heart of the Crucible
The Avenger is back! Now available direct from Moonstone, and in stock very soon at Amazon and B&N.
The greatest crime-fighter of the 40’s returns in a third thrilling collection of original action-packed tales of adventure, intrigue, and revenge.
Life was bliss for millionaire adventurer Richard Henry Benson until that fateful day crime and greed took away his wife and young daughter…and turned him into something more than human.
Driven by loss, compelled by grief, he becomes a chilled impersonal force of justice, more machine than man, dedicated to the destruction of evildoers everywhere. His frozen face and pale eyes, like a polar dawn, only hint at the terrible force the underworld heedlessly invoked upon itself the day they created…The Avenger!
I'm thrilled to be back for this third volume, penning a tale of one of my all-time favorite pulp heroes. My "According to Plan of a One-Eyed Trickster," rounds out the storyline which kicked off in "Death and the Countess" and continued in "Happy Death Men" (in Moonstone's first and second Avenger anthologies), and once again features The Avenger and Co. teaming up with the Domino Lady!

Cover by Doc Savage cover artist Joe DeVito!
Back in print for the first time in over 30 years, Philip José Farmer’s biography of the bronze crusader who fought almost 200 separate battles against the forces of evil “is ingenious, sardonic, adulatory, outrageous and funny in turn.” (Publisher’s Weekly)
I am the lucky guy who is penning a new foreword for this edition, and am having a ball reviewing all prior editions and putting together the bonus features. More info, including preorder details, behind the link:
Preorder direct from Meteor House

Available now for preorder, the newly revised edition of Doc Savage: His Apocalyptic Life also features a brand new foreword by Farmer and pulp expert Win Scott Eckert, updates to the “List of Doc Savage Stories” including the latest novels, and rare material culled from Mr. Farmer’s notes.
The deluxe hardcover edition arrives just in time for Doc’s 80th anniversary, and features tributes by other Farmer and Doc experts, including John Allen Small, Keith Howell, Rick Lai, Art Sippo, Christopher Paul Carey, and current Doc Savage writer Will Murray, as well as other bonus materials not seen in prior editions, such as:
• Doc’s Coat of Arms, reconstructed by Win Scott Eckert and illustrated by Keith Howell, from notes by Philip José Farmer
• A List of Doc Savage Comics by Win Scott Eckert and John Allen Small, a rundown of authorized Doc Savage comics which supplements Mr. Farmer’s List of Doc Savage Stories

A collection of Wold Newton-inspired short stories by Farmerphiles, experts, and the Grand Master of SF himself.
I am pleased to announce that Titan Books has settled on the final Table of Contents for the Wold Newton Anthology, Tales of the Wold Newton Universe. The book collects, for the first time ever in one volume, Philip José Farmer's Wold Newton short stories, and also includes tales by other writers.
The Introduction by Win Scott Eckert (coauthor with Farmer of the Wold Newton novel The Evil in Pemberley House) and Christopher Paul Carey (coauthor with Farmer of the Khokarsa novel The Song of Kwasin) will provide an overview of Farmer's Wold Newton Family and Mythos. In addition, Eckert and Carey will provide brief introductions to the stories themselves, explaining why each entry is a Wold Newton tale.

Honey West and T.H.E Cat, in A GIRL AND HER CAT!
It’s
Honey West and T.H.E Cat, in the first new Honey West novel in over 40
years, A Girl and Her Cat!
Following on the heels of the first ever Honey West & T.H.E Cat crossover comic, Moonstone's "Death in the Desert," comes the Honey West & T.H.E Cat novel, A Girl and Her Cat.....
When an exotic green-eyed
Asian doctor hires Honey to recover a stolen sample of a new Rubella vaccine
from a rival scientist, the blonde bombshell private eye—suspicious but
bored—takes the case. But after she’s attacked not once, but twice, on her way from
Long Beach to San Francisco to track down her quarry, she knows there’s
more—much more—to her femme fatale client than meets the eye.
Along the way, Honey’s
one-time paramour Johnny Doom—ex-bounty hunter and current Company
agent—reenters the picture, and the gorgeous doctor’s insidious—and
deadly—grandfather deals himself in. But when Honey questions whether Johnny’s
playing her game, or just playing her for a patsy, she joins forces—as only
Honey can—with the one man in Frisco who can help her recover the stolen
vaccine-cum-bioweapon and prevent worldwide genocide by germ-warfare—former cat
burglar-turned-bodyguard Thomas Hewitt Edward Cat: T.H.E Cat!
Join writers Win Scott

Her Cat, a groovy, racy 1960s romp coming in 2013 from Moonstone!
