So did you notice Patricia Briggs posted the entire first chapter of the upcoming fifth Mercy Thompson book-- Silver Borne --to her website recently? I stumbled across it yesterday and let's just say it is nice and long, Adam is there (and so is Sam), and by the end I had a big, fat smile on my face. Go on. You know you want to read it... Interestingly, Patty has the following to say about Silver Borne : This is Samuel's book and also deals with the terrible things that can happen when you are late returning a borrowed book. Awesome.
