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

Saw the news today about the new series and my first thoughts were ‘oooh I wonder what they’ll look like?’. This led me to wonder how much of an input you have in that side of things? Do you give ideas/directions for cover art etc? If yes, do you already have ideas for the new ones or does that come a lot later? Thanks, and congratulations on the new deal!
