John, Do you remember the series, The Malazan Book of the Fallen? Think there were like 10 books by Steven Erickson? While waiting on Wrath I wondered if you knew of a similar series such as Ericksons? Loved those books. Im reading The Red Knight atm, but if I like a book (like your series), Ill burn through them fasssstttt. Need something to tide me till Wrath. Please keep them coming!!! Thanks

Hi Burpetheworm,
Great to hear from you again.
I do remember the Malazan series - truly epic in scope. I can recommend a few titles to keep you busy. I would have recommended the Red Knight but you're already reading that! The author Miles Cameron also writes awesome historical fiction under the name Christian Cameron. A cracking series on the Greek/Persian Wars, book 1 'Killer of Men.' Also a medieval series on the 100 Years War, book 1 'the Ill-Made Knight.'
Bernard Cornwell's Arthur series, book 1 'The Winter King.' This is one of my all time favourite reads.
Anything by Joe Abercrombie.
Anything by Mark Lawrence.
Sebastien de Castell's 'Greatcoats' series.
Adrian Tchaikovsky's 'Shadows of the Apt' series - 10 books in this series, so maybe something to rival Malazan?
Hope that helps.
Best,
John

I already finished Malice (here in Italy there is only that) and I am pretty satisfied. I love how you write and I hope I can read the sequel as soon as possible. Thenk you for make me dream :)

I saw "Ruin" was now available to buy in the UK and I nearly started crying with joy. I've cried quite a lot reading this series. I thought you might like to know that. What inspired you to write the story from so many perspectives? The multiple narratives are my favourite part of the series, and I'm really curious to know why and how you chose each of your narrators - and how you manage to keep track of them all!

You are an evil man ;) I am in the middle of moving when it is already below freezing, and I have spent the last week reading books 2 and 3, while living on an inflatable bed in the living room, without a single box having been opened. Finished it 10 minutes ago and I am already looking for the next book but at least, I may finally be able to unpack my boxes. Do you think it will be out before the end of 2016?
