Angry Robot has signed up two more
top talents for novels to appear in 2010 and beyond. And here they are:
In one, it’s GUY ADAMS. In a varied career, Guy trained and

worked as an actor for twelve years before becoming a fulltime
writer. He mugged someone on Emmerdale, performed a
dance routine as Hitler and spent eighteen months touring his
own comedy material around clubs and theatres. He is the
author of the best-selling Rules of Modern Policing: 1973
Edition, a spoof police manual “written by” DCI Gene Hunt of
Life On Mars. He’s has also written a two-volume series
companion to that; a Torchwood novel, The House That Jack
Built; and The Case Notes of Sherlock Holmes, a fictional
facsimile of a scrapbook kept by Doctor John Watson. He’s
also the current chairman of the British Fantasy Society.

Now he’s moving into original fiction, with a pair of novels starting with The World
House. Frankly, we were sold by the summary: “In a room is a box. In that box is a
door. Beyond that door is a house. And in that house is a whole world.” The story
comes to life when characters from different parts of the real world, and from different
times, find themselves trapped within the World House – and not all will escape its
secrets. We’ll bring you this extraordinary modern fantasy in February 2010, with its
sequel, RESTORATION, towards the end of the year.


Aaaand in two, it’s GAV THORPE, popular author of
bloodsoaked fantasy sagas under the Warhammer banner,
now moving into original fiction with a truly epic historically
tinged fantasy trilogy, THE CROWN OF THE BLOOD. Tipping a
helmet to the decline of the Roman empire and the
conquests of Alexander the Great, this sweeping tale looks at
what happens when a great general realizes that he’s
conquered all there is to conquer, and sets his sights on
returning home – only to discover that the empire he has
helped found is rotten to its very core. Massed battles,
political mayhem and some truly startling priests, it’s a genuinely original retooling of
what makes fantasy great. Volume one, itself called THE CROWN OF THE BLOOD, will
be published by Angry Robot at the start of Summer 201
