Well, it's the middle of January and 2013 is getting into full swing, and though there's not a big crop of highlight-reel concurrent releases this week, one of my most-missing titles of 2012 is here, along with the first installment of John Scalzi's serial novel The Human Division.

Still, with all that, my mind's on a "missing" audiobook, that for Jesse Bullington's The Folly of the World, my most-anticipated title this week. And at the bottom, details for another "Whispersync for Voice" price quirk, this time netting you both the Kindle and Audible formats of Richard Kadrey's Sandman Slim. (Sorry for
