Gollancz have revealed the cover for the fourth book in Scott Lynch's Gentlemen Bastards series - and also announced that we should expect to see it published later this year: http://www.gollancz.co.uk/2015/03/cover-reveal-the-thorn-of-emberlain/ Oh, and here's the cover!

I've just read all three of these back to back and thoroughly enjoyed them. I thought Lies was amazing in terms of the world and character building. It had me gripped until then end which I thought was over the top and spoiled the story for me a little. Seas - upon reflection I think is my...

The Gentleman ******* #3: The Republic of Thieves by Scott Lynch

Scott Lynch tweeted that Del Rey have bought the rights to the Gentlemen Bastards books 4 & 5: https://twitter.com/scottlynch78/status/393436681870655488 Excuse my ignorance, but does this mean Lynch is, or is no longer, working with Gollancz? Also, spidey sense tingles over the fact that...

I thought I'd make a new thread for the discussion of the third book, and also because I am going to be doing some major spoilering, so beware. Really, MASSIVE SPOILERS AHEAD. Mostly I don't want to spoil because some moments are just priceless. OK, so I'm not quite finished yet -- about...

... on io9: http://io9.com/an-exclusive-chapter-from-republic-of-thieves-by-lies-468507382 Am not reading, but waiting for the book. :)

These three authors seem to feature quite a lot with the New Wave Of Fantasy (NWOF - to coin a new acronym) to hit our shelves er Kindles:D I have read the first 2 Books in the First Law trilogy and put Name of the Wind on ice for now. i am really enjoying The Lies of Locke Lamora so far...

10th OCTOBER (UK) 8TH OCTOBER (US) Those are the dates for the release of the Republic of Thieves, people. As announced by Lynch himself on his Twitter: And more details here

Is it my imgaination, or is the fate of Father Chains never discussed in Lies of Locke Lamora (TLOLL) or Red Seas under Red Skies (RSURS)? This I find odd - he's their mentor, but aside from his absence being noted in TLOLL, I don't recall the reader ever being told of what happened. However...

Synopsis: Locke and Jean are still reeling from the events from the first book, so decide (eventually) to sink their teeth into one big wonderful thieving challenge: robbing the Sinspire of Tal Verrar - effectively, the richest casino on the continent. The trouble is, the powerful enemies...

Just read this and really enjoyed it. :) I know there are a few old threads from when it debuted, but it looks like Republic of Thieves will be out shortly, which hopefully means that the Gentlemen Bastards are going to be back in a regular manner. :)

I had to create this thread because this author deserves one. If there's already one then that's cool but I with my feeble powers couldn't find it. I tell you, if I could write like this guy I would be insanely happy. Here's where hopefully we can discuss plot points etc - there's a lot of...

Republic of Thieves, will it ever happen? Having read Lies of Locke Lamora and the sequel, Red Skies Under a Red Sea, I have been eagerly awaiting the third in a supposed seven book sequence, The Republic of Thieves. I have read rumours on the internet that claim this series will never be...

Probably not the best time to be starting this thread seeing as I've just lent The Lies of Locke Lamora to a friend of mine, but what the hey...I like a good quote and it's always a nice way to remind yourself of great moments (well how about that, I think I've finally thought of what to do with...

Hopefully (shakes fist at the sky) the third book of the Gentleman ******* series, The Republic of Thieves, will be out early in the new year (March, is it? I think that was the last date I heard). To keep us going until then, Lynch has put up a small section on his official website. It can be...

Occasionally, just occasionally, following an author's blog is really worthwhile. This is one of them: that nice Mr Lynch has just posted an excerpt of his next novel, The Republic of Thieves, on his website - and it's well worth a look.;)
