Orbit Books reminds readers that their monthly “Orbital Drop” is continuing (see this article). This month, the ebook available for $2.99 is Joe Abercrombie’s Best Served Cold.
Orbit’s Marketing Director Alex Lencicki reminds us that this novel is out as a promotion for Abercrombie’s “new novel, The Heroes, which will be out in February. It’s a standalone tale of an epic battle that unfolds over three days. The Guardian writes: ‘The Heroes is an indictment of war and the duplicity that corrupts men striving for total power: bloody and violent, but never gratuitously so, it’s imbued with cutting humour, acute characterisation and world-weary wisdom about the weaknesses of the human race. Brilliant.’ Review blog Grasping for the Wind calls The Heroes ‘the lovechild of The Killer Angels and Conan the Barbarian.'” Lencicki thinks both reviews are correct.
