The fifth novel in the best-selling Starship’s Mage series, Judgment of Mars, is now out!
The current price will only last a week or so before going up!
A war fought in the shadows
A conspiracy shattered in fire
A moment of weakness…
When politics are played for blood.
The destruction of the secret archive of the Royal Order of Keepers on Mars has left Damien Montgomery, Hand of the Mage-King, with his enemies defeated, his lover dead—and his questions unanswered.
When he seeks out the remaining Keepers for answers, he discovers only violence and death in their strongholds. Someone else is hunting down the survivors to make sure they never answer Damien’s questions—or anyone else’s.
As a wave of murder sweeps Mars and the consequences of the Keepers’ conspiracy sink home, Damien is summoned before the Council of the Protectorate to answer for the deaths of two other Hands. In the political heart of the Protectorate of Mars, he finds he may be forced to choose between honoring the oaths he swore and preserving the survival of the Protectorate itself!
Just having finished another round of Starships Mage on audiobook today, this is fantastic news 😀
Any ETA on an audiobook version of this?
Not yet. I’ve signed a contract with Tantor, but I’m not sure what the timing will be.
That is great news, your books make my drive home from work enjoyable.. I’m actually sad when I pull into my driveway. I’ve listened to them all at least 3 times in the last 6 months. I can’t wait to listen to this one soon!
Darn (that you don’t have a release date), because Tantor is being mute on a publication schedule of the audiobook.
I generally contract with Tantor the same week the book is released. It takes them a few weeks to establish where they’ll be able to fit the book into their schedule and add it to their site.
Great to hear. I purchased the ebook from Amazon and cannot wait for the Audio Book to come out. I like to listen to them on my commute.
Just finished Judgement, most excellent. Last time I suggested you could write more if you cut out luxuries like eating and sleeping; can I point out how much time most people waste breathing? Seriously. So I only have 7 more books to look forward to? Wonder what is next Terra, Avalon, or Mage again?
Thanks
Dave
Just finished Judgement and really enjoyed it. I have to wonder if we are ever going to see Damien boosted, considering his enemies have gotten more dangerous. Perhaps with new knowledge from the Alien runes, along with actual technology, creating a uniquely powerful Mage.
