That indispensable and very excellent genre site Suvudu has put Five Questions to Peter V. Brett, author of The Painted Man, published here in the UK by Voyager and soon to be released in the US by Del Rey under the title The Warded Man. This superb fantasy has now sold into ten territories and negotiations are afoot for further sales.  Book two in the series, The Desert Spear is due out later this year.

‘An absolute masterpiece… for me, the novel was literally “unputdownable,” and certainly deserves to be the next Big Thing in dark fantasy.’ — Horrorscope (Australia) on The Painted Man.
