Tigerheart by Peter David

The story of how I got Tigerheart is funny. I was at Comic-Con, wandering through the book area with midnightfae and (if I recall correctly) liminalliz collecting all the free books we could (and by "we", I mean midnightfae). I saw Peter David was signing and I immediately planted myself in line. Peter David wrote some of my favorite Star Trek novels (Q-Squared, in particular) and one of my most cherished comics ever, Incredible Hulk #393, the 30th Anniversary issue with the green foil cover.

Anyway, he had copies of his latest book, Tigerheart, for sale. I bought it and he signed it while I gushed (a little) about Q-Squared and his blog. Then he reached over to a stack of (free) Incredible Hulk novelizations and said, "You want one?" And I said, "Um, sure." And he signed that. And then he reached over to a Tigerheart poster and said, as he signed it, "Here, have a Tigerheart poster." To which I also said, "Um, sure." And then he looked over at midnightfae and liminalliz and made sure that they, also, had signed Incredible Hulk novelizations.

Like I said -- very strange, but kind of awesome.

Anyway, fast forward to this week. I finished Jim Butcher's Small Favor on Wednesday and I was in need of new reading material. So I picked up Tigerheart. Which is... really interesting.
