This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is:
The Dragon Queen by Stephen DeasAug 15, 2013 (Gollancz)
Praised by the likes of Joe Abercrombie and Brent Weeks, Stephen Deas has made dragons his own. In the years before the Dragons laid waste to man's empire, the fearsome monsters were used for war and as gifts of surpassing wealth to buy favour in the constant political battles that tore at the kingdoms. Notorious in these battles was the Dragon Queen. And now she is a prisoner. But no-one is more dangerous than when caged...
The critics, fellow authors and readers alike are agreed - if you love dragons and epic fantasy, Stephen Deas is the writer for you. The man who brought dragons back to their full glory, might and terror. Dragon Queen is a companion volume to the Memory of Flames trilogy and to THE BLACK MAUSOLEUM.
Yet another one from the towering TBR pile, the latest installment in a series that I'm itching to read. As much as I enjoy some of the darker, grittier, more militaristic fantasies that have dominated the genre in recent years, there's nothing like some dragons to get the blood pumping!
