ADLER #3 and #4 unfortunately delayed…

Posted on Thursday, May 21st, 2020

Given the ongoing disruption resulting from the Coronavirus/COVID-19 pandemic, the next issues in Lavie Tidhar‘s acclaimed comic series ADLER have been delayed.

Titan Comics has pushed back the release of the third issue (pictured above) to August 12th; and the fourth issue (covers below) is now scheduled for September 16th.

Irene Adler and her team of Victorian heroines encounter a mysterious villain, even more dangerous that Moriarty!

The fifth issue is (tentatively) due to be published on October 14th. The first two issues are, of course, still available in print and digital.

If you still want a Tidhar-fix, then we highly recommend BY FORCE ALONE, his latest novel, which is out now in the UK published by Head of Zeus. (August in North America, via Tor Books.)

DAWNRISE: Christopher Husberg’s Chaos Queen Quintet Draws to a Close in June!

Posted on Friday, February 28th, 2020

Christopher Husberg‘s acclaimed fantasy series, the Chaos Queen Quintet draws to a close this summer! DAWNRISE, the fifth and final novel is due to be published by Titan Books on June 2nd, 2020, in the UK and North America. Here’s the synopsis…

Nothing is as it seems.

Sfaera-shattering revelations reveal there is more to the Nine Daemons — and Canta — than anyone could have imagined, and deep in the heart of Triah, a threat that has lurked below the surface for years finally rises, gathering unimaginable power.

Knot, still reeling from a shocking death, tries to put himself back together in time to fight. Two ex-Nazaniin assassins, Code and Kali, form an unlikely alliance. Cinzia, more suspicious than ever of her sister Jane Oden — Canta’s prophetess — rallies as many people as she can to save the Sfaera from imminent destruction. And Winter, the Chaos Queen herself, realizes she must finally choose sides and face the greatest test of her life: finding the humility to seek help.

Deep in the heart of Triah, a threat that has lurked below the surface for years finally rises, gathering unimaginable power. Only the unlikely alliance formed between the two former Nazaniin assassins, Code and Kali, stands in its way.

Characters old and new join forces to preserve life as they know it. The darkest night the Sfaera has ever known is about to end, but whether it ends in daylight or destruction remains to be seen…

Titan Books has published the first four novels in the series, too: DUSKFALL, DARK IMMOLATION, BLOOD REQUIEM and FEAR THE STARS.

Zeno represents Christopher Husberg in the UK and Commonwealth, on behalf of the JABberwocky Literary Agency in New York.

Lavie Tidhar signing today at Forbidden Planet in London!

Posted on Thursday, February 6th, 2020

Today at 6pm, Lavie Tidhar and Paul McCaffrey will be signing at Forbidden Plant in London! The pair will be signing copies of ADLER #1 (written by Lavie, art by Paul). There will also be advance copies of Lavie’s highly-anticipated new novel, BY FORCE ALONE!

ADLER #1, which came out yesterday, is published by Titan Comics. Here’s the synopsis…

For Sherlock, there was only ever one woman – now Irene Adler is on a mission to take down Moriarty! It’s the League of Extraordinary Gentlewomen, as Adler teams up with a host of famous female faces from science, history and literature to defeat the greatest criminal mastermind of all time!

BY FORCE ALONE, officially due to be published on March 5th in the UK by Head of Zeus, is Lavie’s highly-anticipated new novel. Here’s the synopsis…

Britannia, AD 535.

The Romans have gone. While their libraries smoulder, roads decay and cities crumble, men with swords pick over civilisation’s carcass, slaughtering and being slaughtered in turn.

This is the story of just such a man. Like the others, he had a sword. He slew until slain. Unlike the others, we remember him. We remember King Arthur.

This is the story of a land neither green nor pleasant. An eldritch isle of deep forest and dark fell haunted by swaithes, boggarts and tod-lowries, Robin-Goodfellows and Jenny Greenteeths, and predators of rarer appetite yet.

This is the story of a legend forged from a pack of self-serving, turd-gilding, weasel-worded lies told to justify foul deeds and ill-gotten gains.
