Jussi Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 New blurb for Son of Seven by Justin Travis Call: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Son-Seven-Justin-Travis-Call/dp/000816309X/ From an exciting new voice in epic fantasy, reminiscent of Robert Jordan, comes this majestic tale of courage and survival. Annev was born without an arm, a mark of Keos, a sign of the fallen God. Sodar, a priest, takes pity on Annev and hides his disability with the use of a magical prosthetic limb, highly magical but also highly illegal. Annev is taken in by Sodar and attends the Academy – a school for training acolytes of the faith who are sent out to find magical objects and confiscate them. But before he can become an acolyte Annev must pass a series of trials where not only his strength and intelligence will be tested, but his bravery and loyalty will be questioned. When embarking on a task for the head of the Academy, Annev learns of a prophecy about the Seventh Son. A man born of a royal line destined to save the world or destroy it. Could Annev be that son?

AncalagonTheBlack Posted May 5, 2017 Author Share Posted May 5, 2017 Penric's Mission by Lois McMaster Bujold - to be published in November Quote Learned Penric sails on a journey to Cedonia not as a sorcerer in the white robes of the Bastard’s Order, but disguised as a young lawyer on business. His real mission is one of clandestine diplomacy on behalf of the Duke of Adria. His usual traveling companion, the slyly clever chaos demon Desdemona who inhabits his body, is the only one in on the secret… Or so it’s supposed to be. Instead, upon arrival in Cedonia, Penric finds himself gravely injured and imprisoned in the darkest of dungeons. Escape will not be easy, as Penric meets an intriguing young widow and has more than one brush with disaster in his immediate future. With Penric’s Mission, multiple-award-winner and bestselling author Lois McMaster Bujold returns to her World of the Five Gods, the setting of her acclaimed novels The Curse of Chalion, Paladin of Souls, and The Hallowed Hunt. Continuing the tale begun in the Hugo finalists for Best Novella “Penric’s Demon” and “Penric and the Shaman,” Bujold’s newest installment of Penric and Desdemona’s tale is another must-read novella for her legion of fans.

Contrarius+ Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Ummm. Penric's Mission was published months ago. So was its sequel, Mira's Last Dance. I'm hoping for a sequel to that one before too long, though -- maybe that's the one slated for November? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subterranean Press are doing limited edition hardcovers of all the Penric novellas which come out some months after the e-book release, that's what Ancalagon is linking to.

Brendan Moody Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 On 3/28/2017 at 4:25 PM, Brendan Moody said: Hachette's website shows eight more parts (which would be about right for the third volume) releasing two a month from June to September. Of course, there have been other release dates for them that have slid by. But that schedule would end just in time for the paperbacks to begin, so they may be rushing them out finally. They should all be written by then for a December print release, anyway. I'm getting emails from Amazon canceling my orders for the remaining e-installments of The Two of Swords because the titles were canceled by the publisher, so at this point I dunno.

AncalagonTheBlack Posted June 15, 2017 Author Share Posted June 15, 2017 On 5/3/2017 at 5:37 PM, AncalagonTheBlack said: The publication date for A King in Cobwebs by David Keck is July 24, 2018 UPDATE: New pub. date: 12/11/2018 Quote It seems that Tor has changed its plans for my third book. Originally, A King in Cobwebs, was meant to appear on its own next summer (July 2018, as I recall). And, I am afraid, it would have made a rather sheepish final entry in its trilogy, appearing several long years after books one and two were out of print. (You might picture the book scuffling its toe in the dirt, afraid to meet the eye of other books). It was, I should add, more than fair of the publishers. I had no cause to complain whatsoever. Today, however, I learn that all three books are to be relaunched in 2018. There are even to be gorgeous new cover treatments (which must remain under wraps for the time being). As of this writing, publication dates are set as follows: In the Eye of Heaven: 5/22/2018 In a Time of Treason: 8/7/2018 A King in Cobwebs: 12/11/2018 I cannot help but feel that this gives my poor efforts a new chance to find an audience among those who love a little harrowing medieval fun.

The name of the book is Elysium Fire. http://edelweiss.abovethetreeline.com/ProductDetailPage.aspx?sku=0316555673 Blurb: A brilliant new space opera from "leading light" (LA Review of Books) Alastair Reynolds. Ten thousand city-state habitats orbit the planet Yellowstone, forming a near-perfect democratic human paradise. But even utopia needs a police force. For the citizens of the Glitter Band that organization is Panoply, and the prefects are its operatives. Prefect Tom Dreyfus has a new emergency on his hands. Across the habitats and their hundred million citizens, people are dying suddenly and randomly, victims of a bizarre and unprecedented malfunction of their neural implants. And these "melters" leave no clues behind as to the cause of their deaths... As panic rises in the populace, a charismatic figure is sowing insurrection, convincing a small but growing number of habitats to break away from the Glitter Band and form their own independent colonies.
