Tor.com is live!
After all that buildup, the reality doesn't disappoint. This is the definitive publisher's site
It's got short stories and (for a while) free ebooks. It's got some of the best fantasy/scifi art you can find. It's got John Scalzi...
The Tor.com website is now live.
This place is going to become a major hub, and it's not going to take long. With the kind of talent they've got blogging over there--and with the kind of talent they've got writing original short fiction--this site is gonna be flypaper for every SF and Fantasy fan out there. And deservedly so: Tor has lavished a tonne of care and ingenuity on this portal, and more importantly they've invited the readers to come in and play too. Tor.com isn't some arms-length advertising exercise, it's a social networking site for fans of cyberculture. Go check it out.
And while you're there, check out the jaw-dropping list of free novels and art you can download for a limited time.

Download a free Sun of Suns ebook!
. . . for a limited time
I've known this was coming for months, but couldn't talk about it. Now my publisher, Tor, has revealed that Sun of Suns, my rollicking postmodern space-opera, will be next week's free ebook download from Tor.com. Want a copy? Then head on over to the new site and register. It's free, and if you act now, you'll also gain access to a couple of other free ebooks.
Believe me, it'll be worth it to join the new site. Tor isn't just pasting new art on an old site, here; they're opening up their entire operation. The new tor.com will be a participatory playground for fans, thoughtful readers, and aspiring writers. It'll also have original art and stories, and stuff I still can't talk about.
