Jussi Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Ian Tregillis revealed the blurb of The Coldest War: Someone is killing Britain's warlocks. Twenty-two years after the Second World War, a precarious balance of power maintains the peace between Great Britain and the USSR. For decades, Britain's warlocks have been all that stands between the British Empire and the Soviet Union — a vast domain stretchin from the Pacific Ocean to the shores of the English Channel. But each death is another blot to Britain's national security. Meanwhile, a brother and sister escape from a top-secret research facility deep behind the Iron Curtain. Once subjects of a twisted Nazi experiment to imbue ordinary people with superhuman abilities, then prisoners of war in the immense Soviet research effort to reverse-engineer the Nazi technology, they head for England. Because that's where retired spy Raybould Marsh lives. And Gretel, the mad seer, has plans for him. As Marsh is once again drawn into the world of Milkweed, he discovers that Britain's darkest acts didn't end with the war. And while he strives to protect queen and country, he is forced to confront his own willingness to accept victory at any cost.http://www.iantregil...ex.cfm?blog=319 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jussi Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Plot synopsis for Justin Cronin's The Twelve:At the end of THE PASSAGE, the great viral plague had left a small group of survivors clinging to life amidst a world transformed into a nightmare. In the second volume of this epic trilogy, this same group of survivors, led by the mysterious, charismatic Amy, go on the attack, leading an insurrection against the virals: the first offensives of the Second Viral War.To do this, they must infiltrate a dozen hives, each presided over by one of the original Twelve. Their secret weapon: Alicia, transformed at the end of book one into a half human, half viral - but whose side, in the end, is she really on?http://www.amazon.co.uk/Twelve-Justin-Cronin/dp/0752897861/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1318954138&sr=1-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jussi Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 It looks like Erikson has finished The Forge of Darkness.

Grack21 Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 No, I'd like to read it too. Also looking for Tim Willock's follow up to The Religion. It was supposed to be a trilogy. Does anyone know anything about this?'I remember reading somewhere that Keck writes slow. Plus the last one was only 2009 I think. Plus TOR. So, maybe sometime before the sun implodes.

Calibandar Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Re: Bakker I imagine if he finishes by the end of the year, he could still have his July release, but I think that that date is doubtful now even though Orbit thought it reasonable a few months back. We have no idea how far Bakker is, but he has seemed very distracted these last few months if you look at his blog. Remember, for WLW, there was a year's time between handing in the manuscript and actual release. Even if that goes a bit faster now, you're still looking at a release in the Fall somewhere. I don't see how it could still come out in July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calibandar Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Also strange that I cannot find a listing for the John Gwynne debut by TOR UK metnioned upthread. If it's a March release, you'd think TOR UK has a listing up. But they don't seem to have much of list for next year on Amazon UK at all, so it could just be that.

Grack21 Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 It's TOR. Someone over there must have looked too long in to the deadlights recently, cause nothing they do makes any sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Werthead Posted November 5, 2011 Author Share Posted November 5, 2011 I suspect it's still the fall-out from the Massive Tor Fuck-Up of a couple of years back, which seems to have affected quite a number of their mid-ranking writers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
