Brandon Sanderson’s STORMLIGHT ARCHIVE included in Audible UK’s 3-for-2 Promo!

Posted on Monday, October 26th, 2020

We’re very happy to report that the first three novels in Brandon Sanderson‘s acclaimed and best-selling Stormlight Archive series are included in Audible UK‘s 3-for-2 promotion! The promotion ends on October 31st.

All three audiobooks are published by Gollancz. Here’s the synopsis for the first novel, THE WAY OF KINGS…

According to mythology mankind used to live in The Tranquiline Halls. Heaven. But then the Voidbringers assaulted and captured heaven, casting out God and men. Men took root on Roshar, the world of storms. And the Voidbringers followed…

They came against man ten thousand times. To help them cope, the Almighty gave men powerful suits of armor and mystical weapons, known as Shardblades. Led by ten angelic Heralds and ten orders of knights known as Radiants, mankind finally won.

Or so the legends say. Today, the only remnants of those supposed battles are the Shardblades, the possession of which makes a man nearly invincible on the battlefield. The entire world is at war with itself – and has been for centuries since the Radiants turned against mankind. Kings strive to win more Shardblades, each secretly wishing to be the one who will finally unite all of mankind under a single throne.

On a world scoured down to the rock by terrifying hurricanes that blow through every few day a young spearman forced into the army of a Shardbearer, led to war against an enemy he doesn’t understand and doesn’t really want to fight.

What happened deep in mankind’s past?

Why did the Radiants turn against mankind, and what happened to the magic they used to wield?

All three of the audiobooks are narrated by Kate Reading and Michael Kramer.

This is also a very handy promotion if you want to give catching up on the series a try — the fourth novel, RHYTHM OF WAR, is due to be published in the UK by Gollancz on November 17th, in print, eBook, and audio!

New Edition of Brandon Sanderson’s THE MANY LIVES OF STEPHEN LEEDS out now in the UK!

Posted on Thursday, June 25th, 2020

Today, Gollancz publishes a new edition of Brandon Sanderson‘s acclaimed Legion novella collection, THE MANY LIVE OF STEPHEN LEEDS! Here’s the synopsis…

Stephen Leeds is perfectly sane. It’s his hallucinations who are mad.

A genius of unrivalled aptitude, Stephen can learn any new skill, vocation, or art in a matter of hours. However, to contain all of this, his mind creates hallucinatory people – Stephen calls them aspects – to hold and manifest the information. Wherever he goes, he is joined by a team of imaginary experts to give advice, interpretation, and explanation. He uses them to solve problems… for a price.

His brain is getting a little crowded and the aspects have a tendency of taking on lives of their own. When a company hires him to recover stolen property – a camera that can allegedly take pictures of the past – Stephen finds himself in an adventure crossing oceans and fighting terrorists. What he discovers may upend the foundation of three major world religions – and, perhaps, give him a vital clue into the true nature of his aspects.

This collection includes the novellas LEGION and SKIN DEEP, published together for the first time, as well as a brand-new Stephen Leeds novella, LIES OF THE BEHOLDER.

Here’s just a small selection taken from the reviews the book has received…

‘Sanderson’s contemporary fantasy is populated with superb characterizations (as evidenced by the multiple depictions of Legion’s aspects) and is surprisingly thought-provoking.’ — Kirkus

‘Readers will get drawn into the fascinating world of Stephen and his friends — real and imagined — as they work together to solve the seemingly unsolvable.’ — Publishers Weekly

‘Stephen Leeds is a genius with a problem with multiple personalities… This collection combines three novellas featuring this fascinating character.’ — Locus

‘THE MANY LIVES OF STEPHEN LEEDS by Brandon Sanderson was fantastically, amazingly brilliant.’ — SF Crowsnest

‘If you haven’t checked it out yet, THE MANY LIVES OF STEPHEN LEEDS is the perfect opportunity to read Brandon Sanderson’s beloved series featuring everyone’s favorite schizophrenic genius detective.’ — Bibliosanctum

Brandon Sanderson is also the author of a number of best-selling, acclaimed series, including Mistborn, the Stormlight Archive, the Reckoners, and a handful of stand-alone novels — all published by Gollancz in the UK.

Brandon Sanderson’s STARSIGHT is out now in the UK!

Posted on Tuesday, November 26th, 2019

STARSIGHT, the sequel to Brandon Sanderson‘s acclaimed SKYWARD, is out today in the UK! Published by Gollancz, it is the second book in an action-packed sci-fi adventure series, which Kirkus has called “great fun”. Here’s the synopsis…

All her life, Spensa has dreamed of becoming a pilot. Of proving she’s a hero like her father. She made it to the sky, but the truths she learned about her father were crushing. The rumours of his cowardice are true – he deserted his flight during battle against the Krell. Worse, though, he turned against his team and attacked them.

Spensa is sure there’s more to the story. And she’s sure that whatever happened to her father in his starship could happen to her. When she made it outside the protective shell of her planet, she heard the stars – and it was terrifying. What she learned turned her world upside down. Everything Spensa’s been taught is a lie.

But Spensa also learned a few things about herself – and she’ll travel to the end of the galaxy to save humankind if she needs to.

SKYWARD is also published in the UK by Gollancz.

Publishers Weekly published a Q&A with Brandon about the new series, in case you’d like to read a bit more about it. Here, too, are just a couple of reviews for the first book in the series…

‘Sanderson… plainly had a ball with this nonstop, highflying opener, and readers will too.’ — Kirkus (Starred Review)

‘Readers will enjoy his hallmark cinematic writing style, with plenty of strong visuals throughout the story, along with humor… The story races to an exciting conclusion once the famous Sanderson Avalanche starts.’ — Tor.com

‘… brought together all of the things that we have come to love about [Sanderson’s] writing – his intricate worldbuilding and magic systems, beautifully crafted characters, and captivating storylines which leave us breathless and wanting more… SKYWARD captivated me unlike any other book has in the past decade… left me wanting more…’ — Fantasy Book Review

Gollancz has published a considerable number of Brandon’s novels in the UK — including the modern classic Mistborn and Stormlight Archive series. You can find more information over on his author page.

Brandon Sanderson’s SKYWARD is out in paperback this week!

Posted on Monday, September 16th, 2019

The first novel in Brandon Sanderson‘s latest sci-fi series, SKYWARD, is out in paperback on Thursday in the UK! Published by Gollancz, here’s the synopsis…

Spensa’s world has been under attack for hundreds of years. An alien race called the Krell leads onslaught after onslaught from the sky in a never-ending campaign to destroy humankind. Humanity’s only defense is to take to their ships and fight the enemy in the skies. Pilots have become the heroes of what’s left of the human race.

Spensa has always dreamed of being one of them; of soaring above Earth and proving her bravery. But her fate is intertwined with her father’s – a pilot who was killed years ago when he abruptly deserted his team, placing Spensa’s chances of attending flight school somewhere between slim and none.

No one will let Spensa forget what her father did, but she is still determined to fly. And the Krell just made that a possibility. They’ve doubled their fleet, making Spensa’s world twice as dangerous… but their desperation to survive might just take her skyward…

Gollancz are due to publish the sequel, STARSIGHT, in November 2019.

‘Sanderson… plainly had a ball with this nonstop, highflying opener, and readers will too.’ — Kirkus (Starred)

‘SKYWARD is … utterly brilliant. I didn’t want to put it down. It is well paced and engaging, full of fun and adventure… The world-building is excellent… This is a great fun read and I’m really looking forward to the next instalment.’ — Fantasy Hive

Brandon Sanderson’s OATHBRINGER out now in paperback!

Posted on Thursday, August 29th, 2019

The new paperback editions of Brandon Sanderson‘s OATHBRINGER are out now! The third volume in the Stormlight Archive epic fantasy series, it is now available in two parts, published by Gollancz. Here’s the synopsis…

In Oathbringer, the third volume of the New York Times bestselling Stormlight Archive series, humanity faces a new Desolation with the return of the Voidbringers, a foe whose numbers are as great as their thirst for vengeance.

The Alethi armies commanded by Dalinar Kholin won a fleeting victory at a terrible cost: The enemy Parshendi summoned the violent Everstorm, and now its destruction sweeps the world and its passing awakens the once peaceful and subservient parshmen to the true horror of their millennia-long enslavement by humans. While on a desperate flight to warn his family of the threat, Kaladin Stormblessed must come to grips with the fact that their newly kindled anger may be wholly justified.

Nestled in the mountains high above the storms, in the tower city of Urithiru, Shallan Davar investigates the wonders of the ancient stronghold of the Knights Radiant and unearths the dark secrets lurking in its depths. And gradually realizes that his holy mission to unite his homeland of Alethkar was too narrow in scope. Unless all the nations of Roshar can put Dalinar’s blood-soaked past aside and stand together – and unless Dalinar himself can confront that past – even the restoration of the Knights Radiant will not avert the end of civilization.

Here are just a few of the reviews the novel has received so far…

‘Fans of the Stormlight Archive series will enjoy this book, which brings back favorite characters and deepens a well-drawn fantasy world.’ — Kirkus

‘The much-anticipated third Stormlight Archive epic fantasy installment is classic Sanderson, with multiple story lines and unexpected twists and turns… Sanderson successfully balances introducing new elements and satisfactorily resolving some threads, leaving fans to eagerly await the next in the series.’ — Publishers Weekly

‘OATHBRINGER is everything I expected it to be. Not only does it make good on the promises of the first two volumes, it elevates the Stormlight Archive to new heights of epic magic, exceptional worldbuilding, and satisfying action. With each new novel, Sanderson proves himself to be the true heir to Robert Jordan’s throne. He’s writing big, meaty, contemplative epic fantasy, and showing no signs of slowing down.’ — B&N Sci-Fi and Fantasy Blog

‘Sanderson outdid himself once again. It is a wonderful, well-paced, emotional read with a poignant focus on the brokenness of people and how to overcome your own limits.’ — The Ranting Dragon

Gollancz has published the first two books in the series — THE WAY OF KINGS and WORDS OF RADIANCE — as well as a whole host of Brandon’s other novels and series, in the UK, including the best-selling, fan-favourite and modern classic Mistborn series (pictured below).

Tomorrow, read the SECRET HISTORY of Sanderson’s MISTBORN…

Posted on Wednesday, January 9th, 2019

Tomorrow, Gollancz are due to publish the latest book in Brandon Sanderson‘s best-selling, critically-acclaimed Mistborn fantasy series! SECRET HISTORY is a companion novella to the main series. Here’s the synopsis (including warnings for the unwary)…

Mistborn: Secret History is a companion story to the original Mistborn trilogy.

As such, it contains HUGE SPOILERS for the books Mistborn (The Final Empire), The Well of Ascension, and The Hero of Ages. It also contains very minor spoilers for the book The Bands of Mourning.

Mistborn: Secret History builds upon the characterization, events, and worldbuilding of the original trilogy. Reading it without that background will be a confusing process at best.

In short, this isn’t the place to start your journey into Mistborn (though if you have read the trilogy – but it has been a while – you should be just fine, so long as you remember the characters and the general plot of the books).

Saying anything more here risks revealing too much. Even knowledge of this story’s existence is, in a way, a spoiler.

There’s always another secret.

Gollancz has published all six of the novels in the series (to date): THE FINAL EMPIRE, THE WELL OF ASCENSION, THE HERO OF AGES, THE ALLOY OF LAW, SHADOWS OF SELF and THE BANDS OF MOURNING.

The first three novels in the Mistborn series are also now available in special edition hardcovers.

Gollancz has also published Brandon’s ongoing, epic Stormlight Archive series as well as a number of stand-alone novels and novellas.

Brandon’s latest novel, the critically-acclaimed SKYWARD, is also published by Gollancz and is out now!

In January, Brandon Sanderson unveils the SECRET HISTORY of MISTBORN!

Posted on Monday, November 19th, 2018

On January 10th, 2019, Gollancz are due to publish Brandon Sanderson‘s latest Mistborn book in the UK! SECRET HISTORY is a companion novel to the fan-favourite, best-selling fantasy series. Here’s the synopsis…

Mistborn: Secret History is a companion story to the original Mistborn trilogy.

As such, it contains HUGE SPOILERS for the books Mistborn (The Final Empire), The Well of Ascension, and The Hero of Ages. It also contains very minor spoilers for the book The Bands of Mourning.

Mistborn: Secret History builds upon the characterization, events, and worldbuilding of the original trilogy. Reading it without that background will be a confusing process at best.

In short, this isn’t the place to start your journey into Mistborn (though if you have read the trilogy – but it has been a while – you should be just fine, so long as you remember the characters and the general plot of the books).

Saying anything more here risks revealing too much. Even knowledge of this story’s existence is, in a way, a spoiler.

There’s always another secret.

As you can see from that synopsis, this is not the place to start your Mistborn read, if you’ve never tried the series before. Fear not, though, because Gollancz has published all of the six novels in the series in the UK.

Gollancz also recently published Brandon’s latest novel, SKYWARD — the first in a new series that has been generating a lot of great reviews and accolades.

If you’re looking for a massive fantasy series to dive into, Gollancz has also published the first three novels in the author’s best-selling Stormlight Archive.
