09/25/2004 Archived Entry: "Vin's new book -- The Black Arrow"
VIN'S NOVEL,THE BLACK ARROW HAS GONE INTO PRE-SALES for a spring 2005 release. Read all about it -- and order your copy -- behind the "more" link. A special limited edition of 1,000 copies will ship to purchasers a full two months before the trade paperback comes out.
I read an early draft of The Black Arrow, and I can tell you Vin shoots a wild, bright spark of freedom into a dark, stylized, near-future America. The book's got it all: A worthy superhero; bad guys whose fall you'll cheer; innovative weaponry and tactics; a freedom underground (literally), and plenty of sex and rock n roll. Think Tim Burton's treatment of Batman's Gotham City and you'll come close to the ambience of The Black Arrow. But for a freedom lover, Vin's hero beats Batman any day.
'SUPERHERO STYLISHNESS'
"Vin Suprynowicz has a reputation for being a master wordsmith," says Sunni Maravillosa, director of operations at Free-Market.Net. Now, "'The Black Arrow' adds a new dimension to his well-deserved acclaim. Simultaneously substantial and stylish, 'The Black Arrow' is the best how-to novel for the freedom underground yet published."
Praising the book's "believable characters," Maravillosa says Suprynowicz is "undefeated as a Free-Market.Net Freedom Book of the Year winner; his two nonfiction books handily took the prize. Now he's poised to win it again, this time with his first novel, 'The Black Arrow.' "
"Suprynowicz on the loose," warns Bill Branon, author of "Let Us Prey" (a New York Times Notable Book of the Year.) "Hide the women and children. Evidence that Robert Louis Stevenson and Ayn Rand didn't practice safe sex that night? There's a delicious 'comic book' feel to 'The Black Arrow' that frames beautifully, by contrast, the serious messages posited herein. It's a masterful technique of white-on-black that none but Suprynowicz could dare or achieve. A delightfully demanding gut-check of political reality and literary assumption. Buckle your swash and diss your belief: This tale doth rip!"

FROM THE BACK COVER:
The Resistance Has Begun ...
The portals are everywhere, now. Scanning for weapons, for drugs. ... No getting out of line.
The people had forgotten how to fight back. There was no one to show them how. Or was there ...?
When she first saw him he was silhouetted against the moon, a black stallion rearing up to claim all he surveyed.
Her heart slowed in her chest, then. There was a strange keening in her ears that she knew was not of this time or place, but of the other world. It was a vision she was having, a waking dream that would haunt her, drive her in ways unexplained.
In the dark of the city's night, wherever the weak or oppressed cry out in pain or fear, a quiet footfall is heard on the roof, the owlshadow passeth before the moon. The twang of the bow, the quiet gasp of feathered death ... the Black Arrow lives.
From Vin Suprynowicz, a tale of sex and violence; freedom and fertility; rebellion and revenge. With lots of rock 'n roll.

"The hand of Suprynowicz ... does what words were meant to do: inspire and teach. This book works a slow magic. Suprynowicz has given us the lyrics to freedom's song. It is up to us to make the music." -- novelist Bill Branon, on "Send in the Waco Killers."
Only 1,000 copies of the leather-bound, hardcover deluxe edition of "The Black Arrow" will ever be printed. A pre-publication sell-out is highly likely. Don't miss out!
