Updates - Lynch, GoT, Fultz, Williams & Sprunk

Some interesting tidbits surfaced this last week or so. Here's a wrap-up :

Republic of Thieves status update



Courtesy of Neth, at his space, there is now more information about the release of the highly awaited third novel in the Gentleman Bastards Sequence, The Republic of Thieves. Even though Scott is still coping with his problems, it seems that the book will see the light of day this Autumn.  Great!

Jon Sprunk's Shadow's Master final cover art



Lou Anders from Pyr posted on my blog that the previous cover art (posted below) unveiled for Jon Sprunk third novel, Shadow's Master was not the final art.  I believe that the final result is much better. Still the infamous hooded figure but with Michael Komarck doing the work, you can't get it wrong!

John R. Fultz - Seven Princes excerpt



Seven Princes seems to be one of the novels to look for in January of 2012 and it received good reviews so far in addition to the nice vibe coming from the community.  I looked online and found that there is an excerpt available on the publisher's website, here you go.

Mazarkis Williams -  The Emperor's Knife excerpt


I did the same search for The Emperor's Knife by Mazarkis Williams, another Fantasy debut that looks promising and I found this excerpt posted by SF Signal.  Good reading!

Have a nice week!

  1. I actually think the first cover for Shadow's Master fit with the other covers better, although I like the new one too, Caim just looks different.

  2. Yay! Didn't think Clash of Kings would be out that quickly. Can't wait. What is it with fantasy covers featuring shadowy figures in black cowls? They are everywhere these days!
