Fantasy Book Critic: Free online novel at Solaris Books, a Stephen Lawhead book tour and more!

As of yesterday, Solaris Books has started to post Chris Roberson’s new book “Three Unbroken” online for FREE! You can check out the First Chapter HERE with Chapter Two to be posted tomorrow. The novel, which is part of Mr. Roberson’s Celestial Empire sequence along with the forthcoming “The Dragon’s Nine Sons”, will be serialized at a rate of two chapters per week with the story getting published in book format in 2009. You can read the original press release HERE and if you’d like to host one of those nice looking banners like the one above, then check out Chris’ website HERE for more information.

In other news, there’s a CSFF Blog Tour going on for Stephen Lawhead and I’d like to direct your attention to Grasping for the Wind who not only has a review of the author’s new book “Scarlet” HERE and a wonderful analysis of the King Raven Trilogy HERE, but there’s also an interview with Mr. Lawhead HERE! If that’s not enough, be sure to check out Chris’ Write & Whine blog HERE for links to all of the participants on the tour :) Meanwhile, Pat’s Fantasy Hotlist just posted his interview with J.V. Jones HERE so be sure to check that out as well. Finally, just a reminder that the giveaways for The Solaris Book of New Fantasy, a SET of all three Cassandra Kresnov novels, and The Orphan’s Tales duology end tomorrow so if you haven’t signed up yet, here’s your chance! And next week, more giveaways!
