thanks to Mike
there is the rare gift that not only provides immediate enjoyment, but serves to engender an entirely new hobby or interest in your life. My brother Mike lending me Towing Jehovah was just such a gift. In short, I think Morrow's writing is brilliant, and following Towing Jehovah, I've enjoyed seeking out and reading all of Morrow's work as well as purchasing and receiving as gifts a few 1st Editions of his novels, which I cherish.

And now, with help from a gift card Mike gave me for Christmas, I've got my hands on Morrow's newest novel, The Last Witchfinder. After 9 years and two publishers, Morrow's book was finally released on March 15th. It was with great pleasure that I found his newest work in the fiction/literature section of the bookstore, rather than in the science fiction section. Morrow has found a good home in the Sci-Fi community and his early work was often carried along by a sci-fi plot. But beginning with Only Begotten Daughter and later the Godhead Trilogy, Morrow's stirling satire has deserved to sit on a shelf much closer to A Modest Proposal than to Elfstones of Shannara.

I'm happy that it's a fairly thick book which means I'll have some time to savor it, all thanks to Mike.
