New D&D and Dark Sun Novels for Summer and Fall!

[Dire Bare]

I just picked up a copy of James Wyatt's "Dragon War" (Draconic Prophecies 3) and found ads in the back for novels not yet announced on WotC's site (that I'm aware of, anyways). Not just more FR and Eberron novels, but D&D "core" novels and new Dark Sun novels!!!

Eberron:
Taint of the Black Brigade by Paul Crilley (an Abraxis Wren novel) August 2010
Revel in the Ruin by Tim Waggoner ("Lady Ruin" 1) December 2010

Dark Sun:
City Under the Sand by Jeff Mariotte October 2010

Dungeons & Dragons:
The Mark of Nerath by Bill Slavicsek August 2010
The Seal of Karga Kul by Alex Irvine December 2010

Neat!

Oh cool, thanks for the info! I'm looking forward to picking up a few of those novels.

Nice to see some PoL novels in the works, I'll enjoy any additional background for the setting!

Count me in for the POL novels. And something new for Dark Sun has me interested.

I haven't read any Eberron, actually I don't read gaming fiction. I have not read and Dragonlance, not a single FR book, and not any Greyhawk ones.

I want to fix some of that.

I have read the first Dark Sun novel, I found it used just before the reprints came out. I liked it, I'm not sure I loved it, but learning about Athas was cool.

Awesome, and also count me excited for the IDW comics, too, which will include Nentir Vale, Dark Sun and Forgotten Realms.

Outside of Slavicsek who I recognize right away, anyone know anything about the authors for any of those? I don't recall having seen their names before (D&D fic or otherwise).

 

[darjr]

I wonder if it is this Alex Irvine?

 

[darjr]

Wow, googling those other names is interesting. I didn't know that WotC went outside the company for authors for it's books.

Is this new for them?

City under the Sand? Hey, Dregoth! Good to see ya. I heard you had been killed by Hamanu, Kalak and all the rest. How´s it going in Giustenal?

Wow, googling those other names is interesting. I didn't know that WotC went outside the company for authors for it's books.

Is this new for them?

No. Many of their novelists have day jobs completely unrelated to WotC. Bob Salvatore and Paul S. Kemp being two that immediately come to mind.
