Just before Gen Con, the fine folks at Paradox announced a new deal with Millennium Films for new Conan films. Congratulations to my compadres at Paradox. I can’t wait to see the fruits of this deal.
The Silent Enemy in Stores Soon
Late last week, a package showed up from Ace Books with my copies of The Silent Enemy by Richard Knaak. This is the last of the Age of Conan series of novels I edited for Ace and Conan Properties, and it’s a doozy. Richard does a great job with taking the hero from his first two Age of Conan novels …
The Eye of Charon
I just got my copy of The Eye of Charon in the mail yesterday. This is Richard Knaak‘s second book in his Aquilonian trilogy for the Age of Conan novels I edit for Conan Properties and Ace Books. It’s a great, rousing tale that brings our hero, Nermesa Klandes, throughout the realms of King Conan on his way to becoming …
Conan Guide Out
Yesterday, a copy of Conan: The Ultimate Guide to the World’s Most Savage Barbarian showed up at my house, courtesy of Fred Malmberg of Conan Properties. This is a gorgeous book, and best of all it’s written by Roy Thomas, who wrote most of Marvel Comics‘ issues of Conan. If you’re a Conan fan, run right out and pick this …
Conan Film Finds Auteur
As ICv2.com reports, the upcoming Conan movie has a confirmed writer/director: Boaz Yakin. Yakin wrote The Punisher and directed Remember the Titans. While this will be his first fantasy film, I have high hopes that Yakin will bring us the Conan film we’ve all been waiting for. In a perhaps-not-strange bit of coincidence, Tom Jane, who starred in Punisher, now …
Ice Bear Dawns on Shelves
Dawn of the Ice Bear, the last in the Age of Conan: Marauders trilogy by Jeff Mariotte hit shelves yesterday. In a bit of fantastic timing, my editor’s copy showed up the same day. Jeff did a fine job with this series, and I hope that Conan fans everywhere will give it a shot. These books differ from the others …
More Marauders on the Way
My pal Jeff Mariotte reminds me that the third and final book in his Age of Conan series is due out any minute now. The Marauders trilogy comprises the first young adult tales set in Hyboria since Conan Properties launched the new line of novels with Ace Books. Dawn of the Ice Bear wraps up the epic with a rousing …
Winds of the Wild Sea Sailing for Shelves Near You
In today’s mail, I got my copy of Winds of the Wild Sea by my pal Jeff Mariotte. This is the second in his Marauders trilogy set in the Age of Conan series from Ace Books. I act as the Conan guru for this line, and it’s amazing how easy authors like Jeff make it to do my job. The …
Ghost of the Wall on Shelves
My friend Jeff Mariotte‘s latest novel, Ghost of the Wall, is just now showing up in bookstores. This is the first in a new young adult trilogy set in the Age of Conan. I edited the book (as I’ve done for most of the line), and Jeff made my job easy and fun. Give it a try!
