It is hard to keep up with Tchaikovsky's books, I reckon he's got four unconnected novels coming out in just over six months. 2 hours ago, Jussi said: Upcoming Tim Powers cover art from Baen: Alternate Routes Expiration Date (new edition) There's always a certain sense of dread I feel when I see the words 'cover art from Baen'. I suppose it's not too bad by the standards of Baen's covers, but still not keen on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what happened to Greg Keyes. He started his career with some excellent books, did some solid tie-in work, started off a very good epic fantasy series and then completely screwed the pooch on its ending and since then has really not done much. The cover art of this book doesn't look too great either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jussi Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 He has been doing movie/videogame tie-in novels in recent years. I actually thought that The Kingdoms of Thorn and Bone improved with each book, and the ending was really strong. Here are "key selling points" for The Reign of the Departed, taken from Edelweiss: Quote Lead fantasy paperback original for Night Shade’s Spring 2018 list First book in a new portal fantasy series from the author of The Briar King and Newton’s Cannon Author has Bookscanned nearly 900,000 copies – had had massive success with tie-in novels for video games and movies (including Star Wars, Elder Scrolls, Interstellar, Planet of the Apes, and more) Author’s first new original book in nearly a decade, since The Kingdoms of Thorn and Bone (four books published 2003-2008), which Bookscanned 122,000 copies Strong conceptual comp title is the Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever series by Stephen R. Donaldson: main narrator/hero who is skeptical of the fantasy world he finds himself in; other contextual comps include Guy Gavriel Kay’s The Summer Tree and Tad Williams’ The War of the Flowers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
