Scott Bakker - Disciple of the Dog

[Albertosaurus Rex]

Yeah, I know this will amount to a triple post, but a new blurb has surfaced with new details:

Disciple Manning has total recall. Whatever he hears, he can remember with 100% accuracy. He can play it back in his head infinite times. It's a blessing and a curse. He's been prodded and studied by scientists. He's been heralded as a genius and cursed as a mutant.

Now, Disciple uses his skills as a private investigator. When Jonathan and Amanda Bonjour come into his office, he knows immediately it's a missing girl. He's had many cases like this before, and they never end well. His journey takes him to Western Pennsylvania and to the compound of a charismatic cult known as The Framers, who believe that Earth is about to be engulfed by the sun.

On the rural outskirts of the very same town, a neo-Nazi organization has overtaken most of the churches and is spreading hate through twisted interpretations of the Bible.

Disciple knows crazy--hell, most people consider him crazy--but he's never known crazy quite like this.

I'm struggling with the question of whether I should buy this in hardcover or wait for the paperback. I very rarely do buy hardcovers, but I just might make an exception for this one...
