Exploding onto the scene in 2006 with his debut novel The Lies of Locke Lamora, Scott Lynch is widely regarded as one of the new innovators of the Fantasy world. His follow up, Red Seas Under Red Skies was quite honestly, just as impressive.
With a style that is richly evocative and plot structures that unfold in the mind like a well told action-adventure movie, Lynch quickly had fans clamouring for more. With a few road bumps along the way, Lynch has had to overcome some serious obstacles in the ensuing years, but it would appear that his perseverance has paid off. Gollancz have announced that the third volume of Lynch's Gentleman Bastards series, The Republic of Thieves will land on October 8, 2013 in the U.S. and October 10, 2013 in the U.K.
If you've not had the opportunity to check out Scott Lynch's work, I recommend you do. With a swashbuckling roguishness that is absent from many fantasy adventures. It will satisfy an urge you hadn't even realised you had.
