Interview teaser

[SemperJase]

EN World's next interview is with the novelist and comic book author Kevin Anderson.

Did you know Kevin recently signed the largest science fiction publishing contract ever for a Dune prequel series to be cowritten with Brian Herbert?

This interview will mostly focus on the July release of his newest Saga of the Seven Suns novel. Good books. If you buy only one book this year, buy all three Seven Suns novels.

Ooooh.. SWEEEET.

I personally found his writing atrocious, and have long been mystified at his success. I didn't think he could handle Star Wars well, much less Dune. Oh well.

I wonder if he's considered teaming up with singer Moby (a descendant of Herman Melville's, supposedly) to write Moby Dick 2. I bet it would be huge.

Terramotus, nothing wrong with criticism, but can you tell us why you "found his writing atrocious"? What was it about the writing that made it so bad?

I end up selecting most of my fiction reading material from comments and suggestions on EN World, and I appreciate when someone can tell me why I might like or dislike a particular author.

Thanks.

Interview completed

I spoke with Kevin today on the phone for about an hour and 20 minutes.

I haven't read his Star Wars or Dune novels, in fact I prefer fantasy to sf. I found his Saga of Seven Suns novels riveting. He was an easy interview as well.

Now I just have to write it up (that thing called "real life" and "making a living" has to come first).
