Like nailing soup to a table…

The extremely lovely Guy Adams (author of The World House) has been interviewed by Hagelrat at the Un:Bound blog, and it makes for fascinating reading:
I think some of the book if lifted and offered out of context – I’m thinking about the scenes in the bathroom on the good ship Intrepid – actually reads like a kid’s book. But then I go and spoil it elsewhere with all the cannibalism and paintings rutting in their canvases.
It’s a great interview, so go read.
The equally-lovely Maurice Broaddus received a parcel yesterday – see what it is, and his reaction, here.
And Andy Remic’s Kell’s Legend (which is nominated for the David Gemmell Legend Award) has had a great review over at the Gemmel Award website, so go read the review, then go vote for the book!
Truly brilliant… it should come with a government health warning to fasten your seat belt as the pace is ferocious and leaves you breathless.
Personally I did not want this to end as it is such a fantastic read. Roll on book 2, grab this now and hang on for dear life as you ride the Kell rollercoaster!
I will be voting for this as it is truly the first Gemmell like read I’ve come across for pure grit and action.
Oh, and Stomping on Yeti lists their top 25 new (or newish) authors worth watching in 2010. Angry Robot authors account for 4 of these! Pretty good going for such a new imprint!
Enjoy your Wednesday.

Thanks for the mention. I’ve definitely found some great new authors over the past few months with Angry Robot. Keep them coming (although the reading mound is shamefully large as is.

I just finished “The World House”… I cannot wait for the sequel. This is such an epic tale! It feels like a Neil Gaiman graphic novel mixed with the wrong drug-cocktail and I could not put it down.
