As previously announced, three titles are coming up quickly. And one Wold Newton
book by Farmer has already been published, although it fell under the
umbrella of their "Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" line.
The Wold Newton series
will have several different "sub-series." Last post I listed the "main" Wold
Newton series and the "Prehistory" sub-series.
Today, I'm pleased to announce a third "sub-series," Secrets of the Nine: Parallel Universe. The first two books are listed below--including the breaking news that Art Sippo, an expert on both Farmer and the pulps, will be contributing the afterword to the classic Lord Grandrith/Doc Caliban novel A Feast Unknown!
Art's piece is an expansion of his talk at PulpFest 2011/FarmerCon VI, in which he vigorously and persuasively defended and advocated for A Feast Unknown as a loving tribute to Farmer's heroes Lord Greystoke and Doc Savage.
In addition, I'm pleased to announce that I'll contribute the foreword to the Lord Grandrith novel Lord of the Trees, in which I plan to discuss the similarities and differences between the "Lord Grandrith/Doc Caliban Universe" and the mainstream Wold Newton Universe.
Art and I will both be at FarmerCon VII / Pulpfest 2012 in August to discuss the books and our contributions.
Like the rest of Titan's Farmer reissues, the books will also be available in digital editions for Kindle and Nook. I'll post cover scans as soon as I have them.
