From Subterranean Press' latest newsletter:

The Space Boy by Orson Scott Card

Approximate Length: 125 pages

Illustrated by Lance Card

Is it space that children dream of, or merely visiting other worlds? Todd had always set his heart on being an astronaut, but when he meets an alien and travels to another world, he doesn't use a spaceship, he just hangs out in his own back yard.

In Space Boy, Orson Scott Card, author of Ender's Game, takes readers into a strange and wonderful future, where people from another world regularly visit Earth - usually without being noticed. And when humans travel to their world, they find themselves dangerously weak and powerless. Until Todd finds a way to set both worlds to rights.

By turns funny and painful, Space Boy is Card at his best, exploring human nature for the entertainment of readers young and old.

Limited: 2000 signed numbered hardcovers: $35
Lettered: 26 signed leatherbound copies, housed in a custom traycase: $150

Besides that you can also "pre-order" Harry Potter VII and Halo 3 on Amazon?

Whoah. I haven't even heard of this project [Smile] Lance is my cousin — OSC's nephew. He's a terrific artist, so I'll be fascinated to see what comes of the collaboration.
