Runcible Jones and Song of the Tears

I got this email from Ian today (about five times, actually, which was amusing. Seemed to be having trouble with his email).

You might be interested in the first book of my Runcible Jones fantasy

Agh I'm in the UK too and nowhere near Sydney. I shall be keeping an eye out for the book, I find amazon or play release them quicker than you would find them in stores.
Just searched amazon....for some reason Runcible Jones is not coming up, but 'The torments of the traitor' (Songs of the Tears) is out sept 7th 06 (or due to be) :D

And here is the synopsis (don't know if anyone has seen?)

'Synopsis
After ten years of servitude, Nish is about to be released from the blackest prison of the maimed God-Emperor, Jal-Nish Hlar, his corrupt father. Jal-Nish holds the two sorcerous quicksilver tears, Gatherer and Reaper, and with them controls all of the Secret Art. All opposition having been crushed, he has begun to remake the world in his depraved image. The only hope of overthrowing him lies in Nish, whom the oppressed peoples of the world see as a messianic figure, the Deliverer for, as Nish was dragged off to prison a decade ago, he wildly promised to return and cast down his father. Unfortunately Nish is powerless and without allies. But worse, his father wants Nish to become his lieutenant and become as corrupt as he is. Jal-Nish offers Nish everything he has ever desired and, faced with the unbearable alternative of another ten years in prison, he isn't sure he can resist the temptation.'
