I'm glad you asked!

Nuklear Age (http://www.zestuff.com/8bit/books/51/) is the novel written by our host and 8-Bit Theatre's author, Brian Clevinger. That's right, a real actual book, like words in it an' everything!

What's it about you ask? Well I'll let the man himself cover that one!

It's a tale of incompetence in the face of adversity.

Or is it a story of adversity in the face of incompetence?

Well, anyway, there's a robot, a giant monster, a line of evil toys, a mind control plot, sub-orbital death beams, kidnappers, bad movies, a super powered gang, an usurper, and a maniacal villain hell-bent on world domination.

Not all at once, though. I mean, really, could you imagine coordinating the fight scene? Or reading it? You'd have to take notes just to keep track of who hit what and why.

Now if that don't sound like the book for you, well you must have a powerful dislike of awesome, is all I can tell you! Buy your copy today!

... and don't forget about Atomik Age, the hotly anticipated sequel to NA, starring none other than Nuklear Man's sidekick, Atomik Lad! Due out... um, whenever!

Yeah, the lack of recent new on the progress of Atomik Age makes me a little uneasy. Is it ever actually coming out?

Man, fifth, next time you create a dummy account to pump Brian's book, make it a bit less obvious, 'kay?

On-topic: Didn't Brian say something like 2007 for AA?

He'll get subtle when I get my goddamn sales commission.

Next time I'm in a bookstore, I shall endeavour to find it. But don't trust my luck.

Question: Where can one find Nuklear Age? Is it only sold in certain regions, states, countries, etc.? I haven't looked at the Books-a-million here, or the Barnes & Noble, just thought I'd ask first.

I can't imagine there's any regional restrictions on where the book is sold, just a matter of whether a particular bookseller has it stocked or not. As DBS notes you can get it via Amazon, BarnesandNoble.com, or Powells (http://www.powells.com/s?kw=nuklear+age&x=0&y=0). Alternately any bookstore should be able to order it for you, if you ask nicely.

Ah -- you're familiar with the City of Books. It's pretty much the coolest, highest-energy, and most famous locale in all of Portland. Yes, we know that's kind of lame, but it is very rainy outside.

I just know them from their website, really. Never been there or anything.

Oh. Well, it is a pretty sweet bookstore. Three stories of new and used books, and of course locally owned and run for, uh, decades. At least, like, three of them.

But yeah, it's massive, you can find pretty much anything there, and they carry all sorts of stuff that big corporate brands like Barnes and Noble won't, becuase Powell's doesn't care about appearing morally-upstanding, or family-friendly, or values-oriented, or whatever the fuck the current euphamism for censorship is. Plus, they aren't as bottom-line oriented, so smaller books that might be deemed not profitable enough for other book stores will find a place at Powell's, including oftentimes locally self-published stuff. It's just got a real feeling about it of love of the written word that is totally lacking in corporate bookstore chains.
