Swords Of Albion Review

The Silver Skull

The first Swords of Albion review is in, from US magazine RT Book Reviews. Classed as four-and-a-half stars (dammit, how did I lose that last star?), it says:

”The new Swords of Albion series, set in an alternate Elizabethan England, gets off to a smashing start. The historical detail sets a believable backdrop, and the main character, a spy, could pass for a fantastical James Bond. Chadbourn sets a fast pace, pitting his characters against supernatural threats with a bit of horror thrown in. FANTASTIC – keeper.”

Which gaves a flavour of what’s in there. I should soon be able to showcase the UK cover art, but if you want to put in an advance order, you can do so here:

UK
Amazon.co.uk
Waterstones

US
Amazon
Barnes & Noble

I’ll do more links when other bookstores put them on online, and I’ll include any indie bookstores if you get in touch.

    You’re reviewed in RT mag? Cool! :)

    Also, they don’t give 5-star reviews. 4.5 is the highest (though a few books get the 4.5 plus a ‘Top pick’ rating).

    [...] Since The Silver Skull is released next month, the only review available is from RT Times Review, which won’t release the review to the public until a month after publication. It is suitably glowing, however, according to the author’s blog. [...]
