Russian leader Vladimir Putin congratulates aspiring world dictator Scott Sigler after AST Publishing bought the rights to publish the horror novel INFECTED in Russian.Russian leader Vladimir Putin congratulates aspiring world dictator Scott Sigler after AST Publishing bought the rights to publish the horror novel INFECTED in Russian.MOSCOW (AP) - Russian President Vladimir Putin today announced his support of the Russian-language publication of author Scott Sigler's novel, INFECTED.

"I like people that aspire to rule the world," Putin said. "That kind of can-do attitude takes real chutzpah."

Crown Publishing sold the Russian language rights to AST Publishing. The official publication date has not yet been set.

Sigler has made no effort to hide the controversial fact that he counts Putin, Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez and North Korean prime minister Kim Jong Ill as his world-domination mentors. Sigler commonly refers to these world leaders as his "Three Amigos of Domination."

Sigler could not be reached for comment. No one has heard from him in two weeks. He is rumored to be holed up in a remote area of the Andes, recording the audiobook for INFECTED.

congrats.

what the fuck are you doing posting comments here when you should be freakin posting episode 12. Hey, i took back the implication that you were EVAR late, but now my friend... It seems that new evil overlord scott has jumped out the window and original evil overlord scott has taken over completely. Mate, please don't leave us hanging much longer. *~* My thoughts this week: Waiting is an essential part of junkie life. John Barrowman has amazing teeth and he hugs well good. I love him so much. What a waste.

YEAH............

Shadow of the past

Did anyone else notice that Scott's shadow seems to have more hair than Scott's head? Do shadows have memory, and in certain atmospheric conditions--say, when a horde of junkies release their pent-up frustration in one joint howl--the memory of the shadow comes back, and displays the body as it once was? I wonder if my shadow has a memory of Nocturnal left in it, and if I listen very closely, could I hear it? www.melanieharvey.com -- more Iced Out coming Monday

That Shadow reminds me of

On January 29th, 2008 (05:48 GMT) emptyriver says:
That Shadow reminds me of Kryten's head from Red Dwarf. It is now clear to me that SS has been body swapped by Kryten due to some impending crisis the crew have manged to get themselves into. Like say getting the cassette tape recorder stuck on a endless loop of 7th son, hence the lack of any progress with Nocturnal, and now SS must fight his way back from the alternative universe that he is currently residing in helping the hapless crew. Or perhaps he fell in love with the Cat. I mean who wouldn't right.... (Did I type that out loud?) Either way, so can see what the constant checking to see if there is a new installment is doing to my head. Please have mercy and write something, anything...

Putin only has access to a few nukes. Sigler has Rocktopi, Ancestors, Triangles, the entire GFL and Magnus Paglione. That's not even mentioning the jawas from... Damn, what is the lastest podiobook title? It's been so long since we had an episode, I can't remember.. Oh, well.

When you say that a country has bought your right to Infected, does this mean they have already paid you, or will pay if they publish the book?

They buy the rights

This is Jamingus, Scott's butler. Scott is in the Andes working on the INFECTED audiobook. I will answer for him:

They pay a fixed amount to publish it. It's an advance, same as a deal with an American publisher. You get X% of each book sold. That % first goes to pay back the advance. So let's say the Russian deal is a $1,000 advance, a 10% royalty and a sale price of $20 (for hardcover). That means I get $2 per book sold, but the first $1,000 (the first 500 copies) goes back to the publisher to cover that advance.
