For those interested: "Wizards at War" available in paperback in June

[dianeduane]

Harcourt Trade Publishers will be releasing the mass-market paperback edition of Wizards at War on June 1, 2007.

Amazon.com has now made the book available for pre-order. You can pre-order your copy using this link (or by clicking on the image to the right.)

What's it all about?

After returning from a hectic wizardly holiday, Nita and Kit are looking forward to returning to their everyday routine. But there doesn't seem much hope of that what with three other wizards living in Nita's basement, her sister Dairine's computer muttering peculiar prophecies, and Kit's increasingly magical dog Ponch behaving more strangely every day.

And there's far worse trouble brewing. A strange darkness of the mind and heart is about to fall over the older wizards of the world, stealing away their power. Soon the young wizards of Earth and many other planets must defend the people of their worlds -- wizards and non-wizards alike -- against an invasion of a kind they've never imagined.

But mere defense won't combat the evil afoot. In company with their human and alien teammates, Kit, Nita, and Dairine must race to search worlds both known and unknown for the secret weapon that the Powers that Be have promised them - before the minions of the Lone Power find it first.

And then, for the first time in millennia, the wizards must go to war...

YAY paperback!
(not that I don't love to support my favorite authors, but we were within $16 of meeting rent this month and thus my book budget is very small if I get one at all...)

YAY paperback!
(I'm one of those sad, anal-retentive people who, if the first book is a paperback, have to get everything else in paperback, too. And also, I'm poor student. :-D )

I've recommended the series to jenniferward, who is working on an "After Harry Potter Ends..." display for this summer in the bookstore where she works. :)

"... try a GOOD series."

Sorry, I'm biased. :D

YAY cheap YW goodness. And speaking of YW goodness... any word on a possibly date for A Wizard of Mars?

That's the exact question that my daughter will make me ask.

I've had my copy on preorder from my local bookshop for the last couple of months. :D I can't wait! Although it'll probably take an extra week at least to get to Australia. D: My first 7 are all in paperback though, so I wanted to keep the collection in paperback. I justify that decision by telling myself that this way when my books get badly beaten up (I carry them around a lot) I can replace them cheaply, but the hardcovers probably wouldn't get beaten up in the first place. D: They're heavier though.

I can't seem to get the edition that my copies of the first 4 are in anymore. It disappoints me. Half my series is in that edition, half is in the pictured one. :(
