Wrath of a Mad God

[Cayal]

Does anyone know when this book comes out?

Can't wait for it.

* edit - just looked it up. March, 2008

The cover art looks great.

 

[Fake Vencar]

Very nice cover indeed! Has it been published yet?

 

[Cayal]

No, March 2008 is it released according to Amazon.com

 

[Fake Vencar]

Amazon is usually wrong with everything except books. Looks like a few months left wondering...

 

[Cayal]

It might be different outside of the USA though.

I reckon this may be the book where Pug learns how to transport messages back to himself. Magnus is gonna play a major part as well

 

[fingy773]

i rekon some major will die as well

 

[Kulgan]

Sadly enough, i think you're right. Remember that Pug's curse is to see everyone he loves die before him, and it seems about the right time for that to happen again...

 

[Fake Vencar]

My bets on Miranda!

 

[Kulgan]

The way things are going I'm afraid you're right. If that happens I'm going to be crying as I read like I was when Jimmy finally bought it.

 

[Fake Vencar]

You should of seen me when i first read that Arutha was dead in DaS. Then i cried more when he was alive again

 

[Kulgan]

U and me both. I think we're a lot alike in that when we find really good writing we don't just read it - we live it. I've stalked the forests with Martin, worked alongside Pug and Laurie when they were slaves on Kelewan, slipped through the sewers with Jimmy and studied the Talnoy with Nakor.

With these books you find yourself totally engrossed, really 'being there' - and when we lose someone we love (as will inevitably happen) it hurts.


I was really getting into the works of George R. R. (what an ego) Martin until he killed off damn near everyone important in the series in the third book. After that I just lost interest in his work.

 

[fingy773]

i agree with miranda or 1 of pugs sons

 

[Fake Vencar]

Full scale invasion by Dasati. Pug raises the dead, brings all the old heroes back and summons the Tsurani. Brilliant book that would make!

 

[Kulgan]

Sounds like a great series in itself. But I wouldn't count on seeing it... lol

 

[Fake Vencar]

I can only dream on...

Found this on the Crydee site. It says it may be subject to change and is pretty useless but there you go.

A brief synopsis - subject to change The Darkwar has fallen upon the worlds of Kelewan and Midkemia; a time of heroes, trials and destruction. Following their dangerous mission to the realm of the alien Dasati, Magnus and the other members of the Conclave must now find a way to use what they discovered to help save their own people from the wrath of a mad god.

Mmmm, interesting.
I wonder why it says Magnus and the other members of the conclave and not Pug?
Apart from Tal, and maybe Kasper has there been any other possible heroes developed through the other two books? The reason I ask is in the serpent war there was a whole host of 'heroes' who were followed during the build-up and if there is to be war, where are the characters who will defend Midkemia come from, apart from the conclave that is?

 

[Fake Vencar]

Erik, maybe? He is the only one I can think of, apart from the King

OK, I know Eric was made younger by Nakor in Shards of a Broken Crown, but i thought he didn't gain that many years, maybe five? Surely he'd be an old man again by this time?
