      @scribus I imagine you'd dig Futuristic Violence and Fancy Suits if you haven't read it yet, considering I know you're a fan of his first two books. But it is pretty different from the Dave and John books, in that it's less B-movie horror and much more sci-fi, so it may not fit as neatly into your genre preferences.

        @northernnarwhal My concern was actually that it would be too much like Dave & John. Like, how I got burned out on Brandon Sanderson after his books stopped reading like fantasies and started reading like RPG manuals for a mage. He was good at unique magic, and it was interesting in the beginning, but when it reached a point that a new Sanderson book or series came with "I wonder how the magic works now?" and he knew it was a signature and started focusing too much (I feel) on it. Long story short, groovy! Maybe I will give FVFS a chance after all. :-)

          @scribus Yeah, it treads a lot of new ground stylistically for him as an author. It still very much contains his written voice, but has a totally different feel from his first 2 books. It also features a refreshingly great female protagonist!
