Forgot to mention this earlier, but the September issue of PC Gamer UK (it came out a few weeks ago) contained an article about Anarchy Online. It's the usual "game has improved massively" type of thing, but it claims that AO's squandered its one day in the sun, and I tend to disagree. But then I'm the disagreeable type.

And we did win the PC Gamer US MMOG of the Year award. So there.

Anyways, the PCG article does talk about Prophet Without Honour in favourable terms - "[a] well written and an entertaining read" - although they point out that the plot is a bit like a "join-the-dots game with a few crucial omissions", partly (IMHO) due to the fact that it's the first book in a proposed series, and partly because it's a lead-in to the game's complex plot (which ties in with and continues a number of the novel's plotlines). In fact, PWH is mentioned both in PCG's online section, and in a separate article earlier in the magazine, which talks about gaming "tat" - tie-ins - ranging from action figures, to keyrings, and, yes, books. This article also mentions The Longest Journey's and Anarchy Online's soundtrack CDs. Hurray!

You can buy Anarchy Online Book One: Prophet Without Honour right here (notice how neatly I segued into that one? Okay, not really).  ¶ 16:11
