I noticed this cover recently when I was going through new and upcoming books. "At the Gates of Darkness", Book Two of the Demonwar Saga by Raymond E. Feist continues the story started in "Rides a Dread Legion". I'm a bit disappointed with this cover. Riftwar books used to have really great covers. This one though... are those supposed to be demons? Oh well.

Anyway, the book will be released on April 6, 2010. You can preorder it today on Amazon.com.

During his recent UK book tour promoting "Rides a Dread Legion" Feist was interviewed by Sci-Fi London. The video of the interview covering both the latest novel as well as "Wrath Of A Mad God" can be viewed on the Daily Motion website.

This is a bit late, but maybe some people from London and Dublin still manage to see Raymond and have their books signed. Feist is promoting his latest novel "Rides a Dread Legion". The UK tour started on March 8th in Nottingham and will end on Saturday 14 March in Dublin. Read the details below for more information:

If you thought that MUD's (Multi-User Dungeon games) were dead, you're wrong, they are still alive and kicking! And they expand to worlds we have learned to love, like Midkemia, the home of Riftwar created by Raymond E. Feist.

Midkemia Online is still under development by Iron Realms Entertainment, a company with strong background in creating and maintaining MUD worlds. To read more about Midkemia Online you can visit Crydee website.

"What is the law?" the voice asked.
"The law is the structure that surrounds our lives, and gives them meaning." he answered.
"What is the highest embodiment of the law?"
"The Empire is the highest embodiment of the law."
"What are you?" came the next question.
"I am a servant of the Empire."

The Magician, Raymond E. Feist

The Darkwar rages upon Midkemia and Kelewan, bringing bleak days of destruction and despair. To save the future of both worlds, the powerful sorcerer Pug and select members of the secretive Conclave of Shadows must journey deep into the dangerous realm of the bloodthirsty Dasati, there to carry out an audacious mission that has little, if any, chance of succeeding.

Good news for Raymund E. Feist fans! Here is a message posted by Ray on the feistfans-l:



Currently I'm working on Agent of Madness (working title, almost certain to change), book one in the Darkwar Saga. To be followed by Into A Dark Realm, and Wrath of a Mad God.

These are going to be larger, more sprawling books, akin to Sethanon and Rage, as opposed to the more recent, more personal stories.

The demon is no more.

The enemy has been routed. But all is not well...



Winter's icy grasp is loosening on the world. The Emerald Queen's vanquished army has its broken back to the Bitter Sea. And treachery is its only recourse.

A loyal soldier and a wealthy merchant have served bravely in the flames of an enduring war that is ravaging their land. But swords, bows, wits and courage will no longer be enough to defeat the scourge that is descending upon their home. For a foul and terrible thing has escaped from a world already devoured to feed on one consumed by chaos - an insatiable nightmare creature of dark and murderous nature which seeks to own and corrupt the very source of life itself.

A usual problem with sequels (that they don't measure up to the original) applies to this follow-up to Shadow of a Dark Queen, which also suffers from unexpectedly stodgy prose and a paucity of action.

A dark and alien peril casts an lengthening shadow over Midkemia as another Riftworld saga begins almost a generation after the events in The King's Buccaneer . Erik von Darkmoor, bastard son of the local baron, flees to the city of Krondor after accidentally killing his legitimate and sadistic half-brother.

Feist's fifth book in the Riftwar series, begun in 1982 with Magician , is a lively coming-of-age adventure. Prince Nicholas, youngest son of the prince of Krondor, becomes a man and a leader while foiling ancient enemies of his people and his house. Nicholas, who has a club foot, is sent to his uncle the duke of Crydee to learn the responsibilities that accompany privilege. He and his squire, Harry, fall in love with two well-born girls and enter into rivalry with Marcus, the duke's son.

This welcome continuation of The Riftwar Saga picks up 20 years after A Darkness of Sethanon leaves off. In part a coming-of-age story, it tells of Borric and Erland, twin sons of the Prince of Krondor. Carelessly lighthearted, they soon learn the need for responsibility in times of danger.

Kelewan is the name of the Tsurani world. The Tsurani escaped from their homeworld to Kelewan because of the one called Enemy, The Darkness.
