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.

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

‘SKYWARD captivated me unlike any other book has in the past decade… Brandon Sanderson has returned to his very best… an easy book to recommend. It contains all the main characteristics of a Sanderson novel from a writer at the top of his game… Above all, this novel is a ton of fun, and it sets up the story for some excellent ideas to explore in the next volume.’ — Fantasy Book Review

‘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).

Gollancz are also due to publish Brandon’s next novel, STARSIGHT, the sequel to SKYWARD.

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.

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.

The downtrodden in Yeddaw have no champion, and Lift knows she must seize this awesome responsibility.

New Brandon Sanderson books this week are… LEGION!

Posted on Tuesday, September 18th, 2018

This Thursday, Gollancz are due to publish three new Brandon Sanderson books in the UK! First up, and pictured above, is the special edition hardcover of THE HERO OF AGES! The third book in Brandon’s best-selling, critically-acclaimed Mistborn series, here’s the synopsis…

The Dark Lord is dead, and now a new world can be built. The acclaimed epic commercial fantasy published for the first time in the UK.

Tricked into releasing the evil spirit Ruin while attempting to close the Well of Ascension, new emperor Elend Venture and his wife, the assassin Vin, are now hard-pressed to save the world.

This adventure brings the Mistborn epic fantasy trilogy to a dramatic and surprising climax as Sanderson’s saga offers complex characters and a compelling plot, asking hard questions about loyalty, faith and responsibility.

Here are just a few of the great reviews THE HERO OF AGES has received since it was first published…

‘Transcendent… all the familiar ideas and plots from epic fantasy have been turned inside out, and what happens at the end is utterly astounding in its audacity. The characterization is stellar, the worldbuilding solid and the plot intricate and compelling — if you haven’t read the first two books, go and do so immediately then buy this one. You won’t regret it.’ — RT Book Reviews

‘A dramatic and surprising climax… Sanderson’s saga of consequences offers complex characters and a compelling plot, asking hard questions about loyalty, faith and responsibility.’ — Publishers Weekly

‘A scale grand enough to be almost Stapledonian… where most standard epic fantasy returns to the status quo, this trilogy ends with something bracingly different.’ — Locus

Also out Thursday, two new books in the Legion series of novellas. First, a brand new story, LIES OF THE BEHOLDER…

A stunning new mystery to be solved by the brilliant and fractured mind of Stephen Leeds.

Stephen Leeds, also known as ‘Legion’, has a unique mental condition. He can become an expert on any subject in hours . . . and with every new area of expertise a new ‘aspect’ of Stephen is created.

Is he schizophrenic? Possibly. Does that make him an incredible intelligence agent? Definitely.

And this is his final, and perhaps his strangest, adventure.

It begins with two unrelated events: the disappearance of Armando, one of Stephen’s many “aspects,” and an unexpected cry for help from Sandra, the woman who, many years before, helped him learn to live with his condition . . . and the combination of the two leads to a sinister high-tech firm specializing in advanced methods of human incarceration.

And last, but by no means least, THE MANY LIVES OF STEPHEN LEEDS, which collects all of the Legion novellas into one collected hardcover…

Stephen Leeds is schizophrenic (… probably…) and he’s in demand. But not for his own skills — his clients want to tap into the imaginary experts that populate his mind — and it’s getting a bit crowded in there.

One of his many ‘aspects’ is a trained soldier, another a psychological expert, a third is a librarian, and all of them want to help him solve problems, making him an exceptionally versatile intelligence agent. If you need a stolen corpse retrieved or a missing inventor found, Stephen Leeds is the man — or rather, the team — for the job. But managing a team is a challenge in itself, all the more so when some of the team feel they know better than Stephen himself…

Brandon Sanderson’s SNAPSHOT out now in the UK!

Posted on Thursday, July 26th, 2018

Today, Gollancz publishes Brandon Sanderson‘s latest novella in the UK! SNAPSHOT is a noir crime story, now available in hardcover and eBook in the UK, here’s the synopsis…

If you could re-create a day, what dark secrets would you uncover?

A detective thriller in a police beat like no other. Anthony Davis and his partner Chaz are the only real people in a city of 20 million, sent there by court order to find out what happened in the real world 10 days ago so that hidden evidence can be brought to light and located in the real city today.

Within the re-created Snapshot of May 1st, Davis and Chaz are the ultimate authorities. Flashing their badges will get them past any obstruction and overrule any civil right of the dupes around them. But the crimes the detectives are sent to investigate seem like drudgery — until they stumble upon the grisly results of a mass killing that the precinct headquarters orders them not to investigate. That’s one order they have to refuse.

The hunt is on. And though the dupes in the replica city have no future once the Snapshot is turned off, that doesn’t mean that both Davis and Chaz will walk out of it alive tonight.

Gollancz has published almost all of Brandon’s novels and novellas in the UK. You can find out more information on his author page and also here.
