Ã…con 7 Book of the Night

Ã…con, the Finnish/Swedish relaxacon, has announced its Book of the Night, which will be the center of a book-club style discussion as part of the programme (similar to the Book of Honor at Potlatch). The chosen book for Ã…con 7 is The Secret History of Moscow, by Ekaterina Sedia. It is an excellent book. I loved it, and so did Gary Wolfe when he reviewed it for Locus. Neil Gaiman gave it an enthusiastic blurb. I hope that my Finnish and Swedish friends enjoy it as much as I did.
