Vol I No 2 Summer 1996
Vol I No 2 Summer 1996
Welcome to issue two of the re-launched Dendarii Dispatch.
First I'm afraid I managed to use both spellings of Dispatch/Despatch which are allowed in
English, in the previous issue! I've decided to use the Dispatch spelling in future, for
consistency.
Those of you with access to the Internet and the World Wide Web will be interested to know that
I have finally set up a site dedicated to Lois McMaster Bujold. It's address is
http://www.herald.co.uk/~dendarii/ and it will be know as The Bujold Nexus. Since it is
fairly new and my first effort at creating such a site, it will probably evolve over the next few
weeks and months. Hopefully always providing something of interest.
The new logo is one of the other fruits of the Internet. It was created by
Jennifer Hawthorne (jen@rio.com), and finalised after much email across the Atlantic. I hope
you all like it, if not tell me why and design a replacement. If you DO like it let Jennifer and I
know. I'll pass messages on if you don't have email.
Lois has confirmed that Memory will be published, by Baen, in
hardback in October of this year, so it may appear in some book
stores at the end of September. The cover is by Garry Ruddell,
and was provided by Arnold Bailey (abailey@webwrights.com)
Webmaster of Baen Books via the Internet. Both Barrayar and
The Vor Game have been republished with new covers also by
Garry Ruddell, The Warrior's Apprentice is also due for
republication.
Baen will also be releasing Cordelia's Honor as a trade paperback in November. This is NOT a new book - but an omnibus volume combining Shard's of Honor and Barrayar. This has a cover by Gary Ruddell, with a version of Cordelia that has red hair!
The Reader's Chair has released the first of its series of Lois McMaster Bujold tapes. Falling
Free is performed by Michael Hanson and Carol Cowan has an ISBN 0-9624010-9-9 and
comprises 7 cassettes. The cover is from the original Analog publication. It lasts 9 hours and 9
minutes and cost $42.00. Unfortunately it is not available out side of the US. Phone:
(800) 616-1350 or (408) 636-1296, email: TRC@ReadersChair.com Post: P.O. Box 2626,
Hollister, CA 95024, USA. A review will appear in the next issue of the Dispatch.
The second tape, Shards of Honor will be released September 1996 with ISBN 1-885585-00-4.
The next two tapes Barrayar and The Warrior's Apprentice have been recorded and will be
released sometime next year.
