A savvy reader known as Bane of Kings reviewed Vegas Knights at The Founding Fields today, and he loved it. He gives it a stellar 9 out of 10 and writes:

You’ll find that you can get through this book pretty quickly, mainly because you simply won’t be able to put it down… The plot of this novel is well constructed, and written in a way that you don’t know what’s coming next… Should you buy this book? Yes. It’s a fantastic read, and a must for any fans of the fantasy genre.

Vegas Knights hits the UK on March 3 and releases worldwide as an ebook that same day. Print copies reach the US on March 29. If you have a UK Kindle, though, the book apparently slipped through there a bit early, and you can grab it right now.

The latest SFX Magazine features a review of Vegas Knights. It’s only available in the print edition, but I’m told it says many good things about the book, including:

What’s clever about the way Matt Forbeck has structured this novel is that the magic-heist stuff is a good enough hook to get you reading, but as it develops beyond that initial hook you don’t have much idea what’s going to come next. It builds on the smart concept intelligently, and the plot is well-constructed and compelling, goading you to keep reading.

Vegas Knights hits UK shelves and e-readers worldwide on March 3, three weeks from today. Print copies arrive in the US on March 29.

This morning, my mechanical overlords at Angry Robot released a free sample of my next upcoming novel, Vegas Knights. It encompasses the first five chapters of the book, and you can read it right here. If you enjoy it, be sure to tell all your friends and neighbors — and if you feel like you should do something good for yourself today, go ahead and pre-order it. You deserve it.

Last week Angry Robot sent out a number of advanced reader copies (ARCs) of Vegas Knights to reviewers. Over at Good Reads, Tony Lane wins the derby for being the first such reviewer to post his opinion on the book. Tony gives the book five stars and writes:

I recently read and enjoyed Amortals but was surprised to find this book arguably better. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes modern fast paced fiction… At times the story flies by at the pace of a CSI recap scene, and it is not easy to put this book down… I have no doubt that I’ll be reading this book again, which is the best thing I can ever say about a book.

This weekend, I posted a details page for Vegas Knights. The book appears on shelves in the UK and becomes available for ebook readers worldwide on March 3. The print edition hits North America on March 29.
