Apparemment, le roman est prévu pour le 4 Juillet prochain et ferait 400 pages.Par contre, je me demande si on n'en avait pas déjà parlé...SynopsisThe first book in a brand new trilogy from the author of the Farseer, Liveship Traders and Tawny Man trilogies. When the two-hundred year war between the kingdoms of Vania and Landsing ended the Landsingers were left in triumphant possession of Vania's rich coal and coast territories. When young King Troven assumed the throne of Vania thirty years later, he was determined to restore her greatness, not through waging another assault upon their traditional enemies, but by looking in the opposite direction and colonising the wild plains and steppes to their east. Over the next twenty years, cavalry forces manage to subdue the rolling plains formerly wasted on nomadic herders and tribesmen.Troven's campaign restores the pride of the Varnian military and to reward them, Troven creates a new nobility that is extremely loyal to their monarch. Beyond the grasslands lies the current frontier of Varnia, the heavily forested Barrier Mountains, home to enigmatic Specks: a dappled, forest dwelling people, unable to tolerate the heat and full sunlight of the plains. The new settlers find the Specks slightly dim-witted and overly placid, and yet strangely difficult to control. There are tales that they are 'blood-drinkers' and their nature worship of ancestral trees has presented difficulties for those who wish to harvest the forest's exotic timber. They also harbour strange diseases, ones that cause the Specks little more than a week or two of discomfort but which frequently kills those settlers and soldiers who fall victim to it. For that reason, prolonged contact, and especially intimate contact with the Specks is judged both fool-hardy and disgusting. Nevare Gerar is the second son of one of King Troven's new lords. Following in his father's footsteps, a commission as a cavalry officer at the frontier and an advantageous marriage await him, once he has completed his training at the King's Cavalry Academy.
Je crois bien que oui, mais il me semble que c'était dans un sujet dédié à l'un de ses autres cycles...Sinon, 400 pages, c'est peu connaissant la verve habituelle de l'auteur, mais il faut peut-être se méfier puisqu'elle ne semble pas avoir vraiment bouclé la relecture...c'est comme pour la date, elle est peut-être elle aussi à prendre avec des pincettes puisque l'auteur elle-même semble ne pas avoir de certitude...ThysPar contre, je me demande si on n'en avait pas déjà parlé...
Couleur un peu trop franches pour être de lui, non ? Et la mise en page ne lui ressemble pas.... ça me rappelle un gus dont je ne sais plus le nom (nous voilà avancés, merci ma mémoire de chou-fleur)en tant que futur fan de Hobb, j'ai déjà tant à lire que j'aurais l'avantage de pouvoir lire ce cycle ci en français (vous avez dit feinéante???Hylwen,lundi 28 février 2005, 21:41 a écrit :Au fait, la couverture (que je trouve superbe) ne serait-elle pas de John Howe par hasard ?
Et même un teaser, dans la cuisine, où l'on peut voir ce qu'elle mijote en ce moment! :)ThysI am currently at work on The Soldier Son Trilogy. Book One, titled Shaman’s Crossing has been turned in and is now moving through the editorial process. Shaman’s Crossing will be published by HarperCollins in the UK and Australia in July, 2005.

Je préfère attendre septembre:Thys,samedi 16 juillet 2005, 13:28 a écrit :Je suis tout de même étonnée d'être la seule à avoir "officiellement" commandé le livre, ce ne sont pourtant pas les fans de Hobb qui manquent ici...![]()
