New Review – The Road to Bedlam
Posted by: | Comments
Last year we published Mike Shevdon’s debut novel, Sixty-One Nails – a brilliant urban fantasy about a man discovering his true nature, and the true nature of the world. Unsurprisingly, people loved it, which is just as well really, as we’d already commissioned a sequel. In just 4 weeks time, The Road to Bedlam is released in the UK (and Sixty-One Nails in the US and Canada), and the first reviews have started to trickle in.
Over at SciFi and Fantasy Books, they have this to say:
The characters of Niall and Blackbird make a welcome return in The Road to Bedlam, as a reader you just feel so comfortable with these 2 people that it’s a real pleasure to continue following their journey…
The Road to Bedlam is a rich, detailed and impressive sequel to one of the best novels of 2009 with a gripping plot, superb characterisation and is such an effortless joy to read. If you have read Sixty One Nails you just have to get this, and for those of you who haven’t read Sixty One Nails, what are you waiting for, buy them both! 5*****
Not a great deal I can add to that, really.

Posted by: | CommentsMike Shevdon‘s superb urban fantasy Sixty-One Nails was hugely popular when it was published in the UK last autumn. The equally-wonderful sequel – The Road to Bedlam – is published in the UK on September 2nd, but you can whet your appetites with the first few chapters, here – that’s 50-something pages for your reading pleasure.
Oh, and before you sit down to read it, make sure you have a box of tissues to hand – it’s an emotional rollercoaster of a journey!
