No word on if the Gollancz advertising campaign will make use of a Duran Duran song. You know the one. You're humming it now.Fenrir is due for release in the UK in May 2011.
Meanwhile, this is the completed cover art for Richard Morgan's The Cold Commands:
"Harder, faster, bloodier...and that's just the sex!"The cover was unveiled previously but this is the first time it's been reunited with its original title (the book was going to be called The Dark Commands for a while until Morgan found a way of making the original title relevant to the book). The Cold Commands, the sequel to The Steel Remains, is due in Spring 2011.

ReplyDeleteHey,
ReplyDeleteCan't find an e-mail address, so I thought I'd contact you through comments.
I was writing to offer an e-copy of my novel, Proxies of Fate, for review on your site. A mixture of classic pulp, golden age comics, and mystical sci-fi, it's an excellent read for your site's readers. What follows is a synopsis:
In the decade of the 1930s, no nation is spared the ravages of the worldwide Depression. Confronted by fear and confusion, the world teeters on the brink between hope and despair.
From the darkness they come; The Krush, brutal warriors and the destroyers of worlds. Drawn by the Earth’s faltering glow, they arrive seeking death and conquest. But before they may ravage the planet, their genocidal invasion is halted in orbit by the last of the Theria. Forced into an unsteady armistice, the two factions agree to a battle by proxy to settle the fate of the Earth.
Chris Donner, a jaded veteran of the Great War, will be granted the divine powers of the Theria and set out towards California altering the lives of Depression era America as he searches out answers and strives to understand why he has been given such a gift.
Li Chen, an idealistic teenage peasant from Manchukuo, will be chosen by the Krush; his body gradually twisted until it resembles that of a serpentine titan. Hailed as the fabled
Dragon King destined to remove the yoke of Japanese oppression from China, Li Chen attempts to lead his people to freedom and a new golden age.
Both men will irrevocably change history’s course until they are finally drawn together in a final battle that will decide the fate of Earth and its collective humanity.
Give me a buzz and let me know if you're interested.
Sincerely,
Matthew Moses
