Library Addition: Signed First of Dan Simmons’ The Abominable

This was the last Simmons title I didn’t own.

Simmons, Dan. The Abominable. Little Brown, 2015. First edition hardback, a Fine copy in a Fine dust jacket, signed by Simmons. Bought off eBay for $50, the opening bid.

The only Simmons first I lack is the trade first of The Fifth Heart, which preceded the Subterranean Press limited edition (which I have).

    The Abominable is a terrific read and if you’re a Simmons fan as I am, you shouldn’t be surprised by the ending.
    Yet I was, to the point that every other page had me laughing and shaking my head at Simmons’ audacity.
    I’ve read a great number of Simmons novels and have (finally) taken the dive into the Hyperion books, to be followed by the Endymion pair. I’m reading science fiction? That’s unpossible!
