Philip Jose Farmer's THE PEERLESS PEER--a new Afterword!
For several months now, fans of Philip Jose Farmer's The Peerless Peer have been looking forward to the new edition from Titan Books--part of their wonderful Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes series (I've been getting them all, even though I already have most of them in their prior 1970s or '80s editions).
Now, I'm very pleased (okay, ecstatic!) to announce that I've been in touch with the kind (and very easy to work with) folks at Titan, and that I'm contributing an afterword to the new edition! I've just reviewed the proofs and it looks great.
The release date is less than two months away (June 7), but obviously you can pre-order now!

The New York Review of Science Fiction reviews CROSSOVERS
A review of the two-volume Crossovers: A Secret Chronology of the World appeared in the January 2011 issue of The New York Review of Science Fiction.
Said reviewer Peter Rawlink: "Eckert's rules, scholarly style, and knowledge complement one another, and his work is done with such horrible intense love and logic that somewhere along the way it ceases to be flummery and becomes something more. What would seem an impossible task is acheived in a manner that not only entertains but also informs about the original work."
And: "...Fans of Philip Jose Farmer's Wold Newton stories and crossover fiction in general have good reason to celebrate. Win Scott Eckert's Crossovers should be viewed as an essential work of the metafictional canon with value to fans ans scholars alike, placing it next to such standard works as Jess Nevins's Encyclopedia of Fantastic Victoriana and Shadowmen by Jean-Marc and Randy Lofficier."
Crossovers is available:
- Direct from Black Coat Press
- Amazon.com: Volume 1 | Volume 2[[posterous-content:pid___0]][[posterous-content:pid___1]]

Bonus pic o' the day--and an obscure Bond crossover
This one comes courtesy of David Foster over at the fine Permission to Kill blog:"I picked up a book yesterday called In the Halls of Evil - 1967 Lancer Books - (apparently also known as The Shrewsbury Terror), and stumbled on the character of Sir Miles Messervy - AKA: M from the Bond series.
The book is set in America, however Sir Miles is still English, smokes a pipe etc., and is the head of FIRES (Facility Investigating Research Experimental Submarines) - does that acronym even make sense?"
No!
But it is quite amusing. Thanks David!
For more crossovers, well-known and obscure, like this one, check out my Crossovers 1 & 2: A Secret Chronology of the World, recently treated to an expansive review by Henry Zeo Covert at She Never Slept.com.
