AncalagonTheBlack Posted October 26, 2016 Author Share Posted October 26, 2016 All Systems Red by Martha Wells - summer 2017http://www.tor.com/2016/10/25/announcing-the-murderbot-diaries-by-martha-wells/ Quote Tor.com Publishing has acquired two books in a new science fiction series—The Murderbot Diaries—from the brilliant Martha Wells. All Systems Red is the first book in the series, and it follows a security droid assigned to protect a team of scientists on a new planetary expedition. But when a neighbouring expedition suddenly becomes silent it’s up to the newly self-aware droid and its distinctly unadventurous charges to investigate. But sometimes things are best left alone… All Systems Red will be published in ebook and trade paperback in summer 2017. Age of Dread trilogy by Stephen Aryan - October 2017http://www.orbitbooks.net/2016/10/25/beware-age-dread/ Quote Aryan was recently shortlisted for the David Gemmell award for his debut novel Battlemage, which was followed by Bloodmage and the upcoming Chaosmage. His new Age of Dread trilogy will be set in the same world as the first trilogy, and, according to Hill, will include "explosive magical duels, big battles and more epic heroes than you can shake a sword at”. Mushens commented: "Stephen Aryan writes pacy and ambitious fantasy novels which are fast gathering a big fanbase – I can't wait for this new trilogy to recruit even more people to his writing." Orbit will release the first book in the Age of Dread trilogy in the UK and US in October 2017. Introducing Dale Lucas’s FIRST WATCH - summer 2017http://www.orbitbooks.net/2016/10/20/introducing-dale-lucass-first-watch/ Quote The Lord of the Rings meets Lethal Weapon in Dale Lucas’s fantasy debut novel, FIRST WATCH. In this rousing new fantasy, two misfit partners work a case in a crime-ridden city filled with orcs, humans, elves, dwarves, and mages. Orbit has acquired three novels in the Fifth Ward series, and First Watch will launch in summer 2017. Humans, orcs, mages, elves, and dwarves all jostle for success and survival in the cramped quarters of Yenara, while understaffed Watch Wardens struggle to keep its citizens in line. Enter Rem: new to Yenara and hungover in the city dungeons with no money for bail. When offered a position with the Watch to compensate for his crimes, Rem jumps at the chance. His new partner is less eager. Torval, a dwarf who’s handy with a maul and known for hitting first and asking questions later, is highly unimpressed with the untrained and weaponless Rem. But when Torval’s former partner goes missing, the two must consort with the usual suspects — drug dealing orcs, mind-controlling elves, uncooperative mages, and humans being typical humans — to uncover the truth and catch a murderer loose in their fair city.

stonebender Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 They revealed the James Abbott identity. Mark Charan Newton. Haven't read him but I recall he was marketed as a new Mieville. I guess that didn't quite work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Werthead Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Legends of the Red Sun seemed to do quite well (although the last book was unfortunately a weak conclusion). From what I can tell it was the Drakenfield books that really failed to take off and led to them considering a new direction. I'd be disappointed if he had dropped the weirdness from his work and he'd decided go for standard fantasy purely for commercial reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Richard II Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Well, I know here in American they all did poorly. Don;t think books 3 and 4 even got a release here. I had to import. The horror! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Aaronovitch's literary agency (posted 3 days ago): Quote THE HANGING TREE is due to be published in early 2017 by Gollancz (UK) and DAW Books (US). German edition is due to be published in February 2017. Ugh. This is getting frustrating. I pre-ordered it in May from the Book Depository, and it was listed as September of this year. Now they have it listed at September of next year, so hopefully that "early 2017" is more accurate than that. It doesn't make any sense that the US version would come out in January, before the UK version. I got an email this morning from the Book Depository saying this was preparing to be shipped!

Around this time next year, I should be writing a post like this to introduce it to you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jussi Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 August 2017 is the real publishing date for Peter V. Brett's The Core: http://www.unboundworlds.com/2016/10/nycc-2016-peter-v-brett-demon-cycle-movie-comic-book/?ref=0D48451288B3 UW: Well, you know I’ve got to ask, then: What can you tell us about the last book? PVB: I’m really excited about the last book in the series, actually. I think I’ve done some stuff that no one has ever done before, or at least no one that I know of. I’m pretty confident at this point that I’m going to stick the landing and have an impressive close to the series. I like the idea of it being done and I can sort of present it as an entire work of art instead of individual books once it’s done. I’m running full-tilt to turn it in at the end of the year, and it’s going to come out in August of 2017. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jussi Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Conn (C.V.) Iggulden's first epic fantasy novel Darien, book one in the Empire of Salt Trilogy, might be published in March 2017. If we believe this catalogue: http://www.amheath.com/downloads/rights.pdf Quote Twelve Families. One Kingdom. An epic new fantasy series of spellbinding imagination. The city of Darien lies at the centre of a once imposing empire. For more than a thousand years twelve families and a pitiless military have ruled over a vast array of assassins and spies, magicians and mercenaries, beggars and the half-respectable. There, amongst bitter feuds and fierce betrayals, a plot is hatched to kill a king. It will throw together five strangers – Elias Post, a broken father and skilled hunter, who in desperation agrees to commit an act that will haunt him forever. Tellius, a warrior from the East, who discovers that a lifetime of disguise cannot conceal an honourable past. Threefold Daw, a chancer and gambler, who dreams of wealth and will do anything to get it. Arthur, a creature from the old world willing to make the ultimate sacrifice. And Nancy, a dark-haired beauty, whose abilities may be the undoing of them all – whose destinies will be made in the city of Darien. Looking forward to it. Darien can't be found in Amazon – maybe it has been delayed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
