If you have *already submitted* an entry that may seem to be 
confirmed by this spoiler, that entry *is* still valid. Do nothing. 

The spoiler is written at the end of this post for those who wish to 
peruse it, below the Spoiler Space.

TK Kenyon -- TigerPatronus! 
Author of RABID: A Novel

*STARRED REVIEW* "[RABID] smoothly metamorphoses into a 
philosophical battle between science and religion. 
Kenyon is 
definitely an author to watch, she juggles all of her story's 
elements without dropping any of them--and, let's not forget, 
creates four very subtle and intriguing central characters. This is 
a novel quite unlike most standard commercial fare, a genre-bending 
story--part thriller, part literary slapdown with dialogue as the 
weapon of choice. Kenyon is definitely a keeper." -- David Pitt, 
Booklist, December 1, 2006

THE SPOILER: 

Chapter One. 
The Dark Lord Ascending. 

The two men appeared out of nowhere, a few yards apart in the 
narrow, moonlit lane. For a second they stood quite still, wands 
pointing at each other's chests: then, recognising each other, they 
stowed their wands beneath their cloaks and set off, side by side, 
in the same direction.

"News?", asked the taller of the two.

"The best," replied Snape.
