The first two novels in Ruckley’s trilogy, Winterbirth and Bloodheir, both had attractive covers, and it looks like the concluding volume will continue that trend.

A little known fact is that that that grizzly looking fellow on the cover is in fact Brian Ruckley himself!*

An Aside | A Song of Ice and Fire on HBO

Making its ways around the web, is news that George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire will, indeed, be given a chance on the boobtube.

From Martin’s website:

HBO has given the production order.

They will be filming the pilot episode of A GAME OF THRONES.

It’s just the pilot so far. They’ll need to see that before they decide whether to proceed with a full season’s episodes. So let’s all hope the pilot will kick serious ass.

It should. David Benioff and Dan Weiss did a terrific job with the script. And yes, all of you can relax, it’s very faithful. Dan and David will be the executive producers for the pilot and (we hope) the eventual series.

More details when I have ‘em. The news is very fresh. HBO just issued their own press release, which should be up on their website soon, if it’s not there already.

Winter is coming to HBO. Hot damn.

Good news, indeed. If anyone can pull it off, it’s HBO.
