Currently Half-Way through Moorcock's/Storm Constatine's Silverheart, based on the Multiverse of Micheal Moorcock. It seems to be a upon a new plane of existence, rather than one already detailed elsewhere. However, teh action takes place in a self-contained city locked in an icy waste, so it could be simply an area within one of the Icy Realms Moorcock has already detailed.

I'm also half-way through Death's Messenger, a Warhammer Novel. So far I like it. It's supposed to tie in with the Warhammer Fantasy Roleplaying Game (as opposed to the Miniatures Game), but I haven't noticed any difference really. I suppose if I knew the ins and outs of Warhammer & WFRP, I might notice how this book differs, but I don't.

I also just picked up Harlon Ellison's 50 Year Retrospective. That one might take me awhile.

Not much time to read lately, so I'm still reading "Prince of Dogs", Book 2 in the "Crown of Stars" series. I have Books 3-6 of the series "on deck" after that.

Flight of the Nighthawks by Raymond E. Feist, the first in his new trilogy.

I'm working my way through the Feist collection myself. I'm currently on "Rage of a Demon King," book 4/4 in the Serpentwar Saga. He's an amazing author who can keep you interested in an epic story spanning a hundred years and a dozen books, without it getting old, boring, or repetitive. He's one of the few authors who has gotten me to care about the characters involved, and it's sad to see them die, through violence, randomness, or old age.

That book is on "pause" right now, though; I'm reading R.A. Salvatore's "Promise of the Witch King," the sequel to "Servant of the Shard," which tracks drow mystery Jarlaxyl and his human assassin compatriot Artemis Entreri and their exploits. Salvatore isn't the best writer in the world, being more pulpy than refined, but his stuff is entertaining.

Feist has got to be my favourite author. Magician is my all-time favourite book; the Serpentwar Saga may favourite series. I'm about half-way through Flight of the Nighthawks - pretty interesting so far.

So far, the NaNoWriMo book No Plot? No Problem! by Baty. I today started The Web of Arachnos, the first City of Heroes novel.

Just finished Children of the Rune, a collection of short stories set in the Diamond Throne. some good yarns in there but I felt it was a little bait and switch as many of the stories only had or dealt with Runechildren on the side. It was good enough though to get me to check out the next book, The Dragon's Return. Hopefully that will be more focused while retaining the quality.
