This edition includes all of Red Sonja Unchained for a complete beginning to end. The art is done by Mel Rubi, and it includes a special cover gallery featuring the original covers by Walter Geovani, this is an action-packed collection you don’t want to miss!

Check out what Rosemary had to say on her blog Whatcha Reading:

In addition to the 5 issues, there’s a cover gallery featuring all the covers from Geovani and Mel Rubi, who creates some amazing Red Sonja art. The book is a great companion for Red Sonja fans, and fans of sword and sorcery fantasy … 5 out of 5 metal bikinis.

Or check out this very nice review on Amazon:

So, whether you re acquainted with Red Sonja or are finding her here for the first time, this is a strong entry in the canon that delights on many levels. A very nice find.

Here’s the synopsis from the Dynamite website to get you even more excited:

Peter V. Brett, New York Times bestselling author of The Demon Cycle, lovingly pays homage to the iconic fantasy heroine in a tale that recaptures the tone of Robert E. Howard’s barbarian epics. An encounter with a devil leaves Red Sonja, the legendary swordswoman, bereft of her signature chainmail and fleeing murder charges, but a change of clothes and venue aren’t enough to escape the guilt in her heart. Penniless and under pursuit, she has no choice but to accept a dangerous mercenary job: to search for the tomb of an ancient warrior queen. But the spirit of Queen Gheta lives on: a fierce and unnatural combatant who may be the only creature in history capable of defeating Sonja. Meanwhile, the demonic entity Bhamothes wreaks havoc in her homeland of Hyrkania and only the forgiveness of a murdered boy can end its killing spree!

Peat and Myke Cole visited their agent’s new office last week, only to run into a bunch of old friends. Needless to say, there was some unfinished business that had to be attended to immediately.

Turns out, Peat ran into some old friends he had unfinished business with. Peat ran an impromptu Facebook/Twitter contest last week, asking fans to come up with original captions. The results are hilarious:

@GJEvansII

Buy Daylight War Now!

@aebmedia

After sending Poohbear to the corelings, Peter contemplates if the sentence was to harsh for 1 lost pot of honey, o botha

@Johannpollard

Tigger, this is the third time Mr Cole has reported you for slack gun discipline

@MalinZimmermann

One of you messed up the warding last night and now I have this coreling hanging behind my back!

@JRRParker

“HR has some concerns about your ‘pin the tail on the new agent’ hazing game…”

@TMBuzzard

“The regional governors now have direct control over their territories. Fear will keep the local systems in line.”

@TheKennethHayes

Due to the baffling proliferation of Eeyores, Peter is forced to make some difficult cuts to his marketing team

@MangoHeroics

The twitter core? I quite like the sound of “demons in the depths” – have you used it before?

We’ve all heard of the ghost in the machine, but what if we now have demons in the depths of the twitterverse?

Erika W.

Poor Tigger discipline.

David W.

The company’s going under. I’m OK but you’re all stuffed!

James B.

One of you here will betray me, but fear not, for I am a merciful god and your fluffy sins will be forgiven.

Kristina B.

A lot of tails have gone missing.. We have reason to believe one of you may be a probe… or a coreling….

Noora R.

The original mind coreling and his pretty soft test subjects – how discouraging a start.

Peter S.

Somewhere in a parallel universe Freddy Krueger had a very different life.

Raphael M.

“Bring your kids to work” day…PVBrett thinks ” Ok,how can I tell them without hurting their feelings?”

Jodie B.

Peter tried to keep the discussion lively but everyone had eaten so much they were just stuffed.

Bradley H.

None of you have any new ideas for our ad campaign! Are your heads full of fluff?

Eric G.

Piglet and Tigger just cant keep all these jackasses in line……

Terence T.

I’ve called you here today for your expertise. I need your advice on how to make the corelings crueler.

Erin H.

Eeyore’s Intervention

Nicole R.

“My associate and I would like to discuss this groups inability to gain mind control of it’s owners.”

Erin R.

Operation Earthquake Weather is a go. 

Kenneth H.

Peter meets with the town’s speakers to determine if Pooh’s fate is to be strung up for the corelings

Robert O.

The most recent brainstorm session is rather one sided … 

Taryn M.

“You assure me you are seamlessly infiltrated into the organization, so now the time has come. We hit Pooh and get take control of the honeypot – TONIGHT!”

Leon H.

Which author do we begin to terrorise now, my flying-babies?

Tony J.

Which author do we begin to terrorise now, my flying-babies? 

Sarah S.

So following yesterday’s International Day of Happiness party, I think we need a rethink on the organising committee.

Rumours that the new emperor of the universe had stuffed his council with puppets proved unfounded

Sebastian M.

“And Peter V. Brett looked at all of them and thinked how many of them looks just like old grey donkeys.

” I know! – he said. – I’m gonna write a book about Eeyore’s Birthday Party!”

Awesome entries everyone! The winner will be announced soon and will receive a paperback Daylight War.

We’ve all been there. Receiving that heavy package in the mail after a long day at work or school. Checking out the fantasy shelves at your local bookstore and finding a new read you can’t wait to crack open. It’s such an awesome moment that Inderpal on Youtube decided to capture the moment on video.

Check out his “sniffing book” series to see him excitedly unwrap The Warded Man and The Desert Spear.

As readers, we all know how special that is. What books are you excited about this year?
