TerraPrime Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 Thanks to Stego, I met Bakker and shook the man's hand. Woot! I complimented him on daring to use longer names and for writing a series with great depth. He was gracious and polite. Nice guy. He also said that the next book should be out in the middle of January. Yay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calibandar Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 TTT comes out in January in the US and Canada. In the Uk it's May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebastian Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 I ordered "The Darkness That Comes Before" from Amazon a few days ago after reading an interview with Bakker that was mentioned on this board (the old one). If his books aren't much less interesting than his interviews, it should be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sword of DuLath Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 Rubbish!!! That sucks...well i suppose you guys had to wait for Feast. (Those of you that didn't ship it from the UK) so in the end it kind of balances out. Still May, thats a bit longer then i expected. Right in the middle of me exams as well.. damn.

Larry. Posted November 9, 2005 Share Posted November 9, 2005 I still maintain that Scott looks like the missing member of Air Supply based on the photo they put on the back of the TTT ARC. But in person, he's kinda got that Robert Plant mane look going for him, so it's not too bad, I suppose. And yes, it's a January 19th release for the US for TTT, with the tradeback cover of TWP (sadly, the so-called Cat Stevens cover and not the Canadian/US Hardcover edition on front) already available in stores. And most certainly go out and read the guy. One of my favorite authors and someone I consider a friend as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

perspicacious Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 Okay, I left the board for a few months, and then I came back and everyone is raving about this Bakker guy. Who is he? What are they about? And what book shoudl I start with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhaco Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 perspicacious, The series is the Prince of Nothing, the first book of which is The Darkness That Comes Before. Here are a couple reviews of TDTCB: SFF World SF Site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry. Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 And if you need more info of the man behind the tomes, you can go here for his official fan forum (where he answers all sorts of questions, serious and goofy alike), or you can read this thread of the drunken exploits of Bakker and crew at the just-finished World Fantasy Convention. Mind you, seeing the author looking in turns like the missing member of Air Supply (TTT ARC cover) or like a 6'6 version of Robert Plant might be disconcerting for some, but the books are well worth the reading effort, even if Bakker himself admits that Martin has him 'licked in the storytelling department.' Humble guy, too. Just a bit of a metro, but we all bear our own crosses, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perspicacious Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 He seems like a cool guy, and the first book looks interesting. I'll definitely give it a chance, perhaps Thanksgiving break reading. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Ent Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 Now we will probably be subejected to Supercalifragulsticexpialidocious Kelhus Actually, the plan is for Supërcalifragûlsticëxpialidociöüs Kelhus, the second "c" is silent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
