Brenner’s been around for a long time. So have his books.

Originally published by DAW in the late ’80s to mid-90s, Brenner’s series of novels, The Dance of Gods, managed to find a core of dedicated fans. Unfortunately the volume of them just wasn’t enough for DAW to keep the novels in print. Fast forward several years, through the advent of the Internet, and Brenner decided it was time to give the novels another chance.

A Good friend of this blog, Chris the Book Swede, liked the first novel:

Catastrophe’s Spell, although extremely humourous is also an engaging, interesting story and an excellent start to the Dance of Gods series. I would very much like to see this book back in print.

So what went wrong?

Browsing the Subterranean Press web site (and Pat’s Fantasy Hotlist), I ran across some more artwork for the upcoming special addition of Steven Erikson’s Gardens of the Moon.

Upcoming art from Steven Erikson's Gardens of the Moon

There are a few problems, foremost among them the fact that Quick Ben and Kalam should have darker skin, but it’s a killer image nonetheless! Komarck, the artist, is quickly cementing himself as one of my favourite fantasy artists working today, Erikson sure made a good decision.

Pat also reports that “The other two sketches which were submitted to [Subterranean Press’s] Bill were of the rising of Tool, and the scene in which Quick Ben and Kalam spy on the Tiste Andii from the rooftops.”

You can find Komarck’s web site HERE.
