Cover Release!

I have to share these covers with you! As I've been a long standing fan of Michael J. Sullivan's books. As you can find out more details to his journey as an author with this series in my second interview with Michael, HERE. But he is now an author with Orbit Books. (Congrats and well deserved once again.) And Orbit has taken his 6 book series to make a trilogy. So with out further ado here are the three book covers Orbit has created....

I'm excited to see these and I think I just might have to get them in this format as well, just to have. ;)

I have the original versions, and Orbit did a solid for Michael and allowed him to also release the final book in the old format so that people could complete the collection properly. Though I think that will only be available for a limited time, and you might have to contact/email Michael's people to let them know of your interest.

I've yet to start them, but planning to marathon the series once the final book comes out.

Mflick1 - Oh so glad you like the covers. :)

Bastard - I agree. I'm very happy that Michael is able to releas the final book to complete the series for us who began it. That is wonderful of Orbit to do so. And Michael even said it will be with the cover he had created to go with the rest of the series. I'm waiting my time here and I'm planning on tracking down where I can get the final book at. I've been in contact with Michael and will definitely get in touch with him when the time comes closer. I do hope you enjoy them. Each book really does get better and better than the last, which is hard to do. And the series just builds on all that you learn in each book.

Blodeuedd - Yes it is. :) This is the author I was telling you about. Orbit found him and took him on. I do really hope you get these books. I think you will enjoy them. :)

Melissa (Books & Things) - :) So glad you like! :)

Wow, these are nice. I still haven't had a chance to read these but maybe I can get Orbit to send me the first one for review (though it might require some begging)

Quotes from Books, which caught my eye...

"It's always Ragnarok. Regular mortals have the power to blow the world sky-high and all the major supernatural factions can do the same. The thing is, though, as long as people want to live then you're going to have people stepping in the way of those who want to do something to blow us up. That's the only way you can endure it." Ben Talbot, By C.T. Phipps in Esoterrorism

"Be that as it may, we were--and no doubt, still are--held under scrutiny, with that whole Phoenix Society brouhaha. It is imperative we remain on our best behaviour, a feat that you did not exactly manage effortlessly with your shenanigans in Edinburgh." Wellington Books, By Pip Ballantine and Tee Morris in The Jaus Affair

"Remember this always: the fly, even in paradise, must always exist on shit." By Frances Pauli from The Fly in Paradise

"'In hundreds of years,' she continued, voice darker and sober now, 'I've only let myself love two people. You don't have that kind of time, though. You're mortal. You don't get to make a lot of mistakes before you kick it and if you wait, you get screwed over.'" By Skyla Dawn Cameron from Hunter

"...But I don't want you to be afraid to take risks. If it's worth it...If the person in his eyes is the person you want to be, the person you know you could be...then don't be scared..." By Nicole Peeler from Tracking the Tempest

"We are what we choose to be, girl," she said. "Let others determine your worth, and you've already lost, because no one wants people worth more than themselves..." By Peter V. Brett from The Warded Man.

"There are no honorable causes. There is no good or evil. Evil is only what we call those who oppose us." By Michael J. Sullivan from Nyphron Rising.

"That we are both right. One truth doesn't refute another. Truth doesn't lie in the object, but in how we see it." By Michael J. Sullivan from Nyphron Rising..

"Death is real, irreversible, and awful. Do you want some advice? Don't wait until you're dead to try to communicate. Do it now. You still have a chance. Not a great one, but a better one than you will have. If you think it's hard to get your point across now, and that no one really understands what you're about, just try it when you're dead." By Alexander Jablokov from Brain Thief.

"I wasn't running now so much as stumbling quickly, panting like a geriatric lion." By Nicole Peeler from Tempest Rising.

"Watch for the ones who leave your mouth hanging open. Study them, find out what they love and what they fear. Dig the treasure out of their soul and hold it to the light." He leaned in even closer now, so that Neb could smell the wine on his breath. "Then Be like them." By Ken Scholes from Lemantation.

The truth, the Seventeenth Gospel said, is a seed planted in a field of stones beneath a stone and guarded by snakes. To have at it, be strong enough to move the stone, patient enough to dig the hole and fast enough to dodge the viper's fang. By Ken Scholes from Lamentation.

I took a deep breath, "I took the nahlrout because I didn't want to faint. I needed to let them know they couldn't hurt me. I've learned that the best way to stay safe is to make your enemies think you can't be hurt." It sounded ugly to say it so starkly, but it was the truth. I looked at him defiantly. By Patrick Rothfuss from The Name of the Wind.

"We can be strong in the face of kings and priest, my lady," Ashe replied, "but to live is to have worries and uncertainties. Keep them inside, and they will destroy you for certain-leaving behind a person so callused that emotion can find no root in his heart." By Brandon Sanderson from Elantris.
