The sheer cynicism of this is breathtaking.

Executive Editor Will Hinton said “To Sleep in a Sea of Stars opened up a whole new universe for Christopher Paolini to explore, and in Fractal Noise he takes us on a journey to the heart of its terrifying wonder, exposing entirely new and exciting dimensions to this world. I’ve always loved Christopher’s writing, but Fractal Noise really blew me away with his incredible storytelling gifts.”


Case in point. Either this guy has such appallingly bad judgement and taste that he has no business editing anything, let alone being highly placed in a major publishing company, or he's just spewing PR bullshit. Either way it's fucking pathetic and incredibly disrespectful to the reading public. I mean really - there's no way any sane person with the amount of experience they would need to get to this point in their career wouldn't know damn well that Paolini is unpublishable.

Also, "Fractal Noise" is one of the worst titles I ever heard.
