New Crime & Mystery Fiction Titles From Voyager APRIL-JUNE 07

Terry Goodkind Phantom Pbk published June 2007 by Voyager at Ł7.99 ISBN: 0007145659

Anne McCaffrey 'A real born storyteller' .

This is the next book in the "Sword of Truth" series from bestselling author, Terry Goodkind. It is a fantasy adventure on a grand scale, featuring the popular wizard-hero, Richard Cypher.
Terry Goodkind's first novel, "Wizard's First Rule" (1994), established him immediately as a major voice on the epic fantasy scene. Subsequent books in the "Sword of Truth" series have climbed steadily up the international bestseller lists. The saga of "The Sword of Truth" started growing in Goodkind's mind during the early 1990s, while he was building his house in the forests of the northeastern U.S. "It started with the character of Kahlan, and grew from that seed," he recalls. "It really became a haunting experience. As soon as I started writing "Wizard's First Rule", I knew writing was my calling. I've found something to which I truly want to dedicate my life."

Goodkind was born and raised in Omaha, Nebraska, where he also attended art school, one of his many interests on the way to becoming a writer. Besides a career in wildlife art, he has been a cabinet maker, violin maker, and he has done restoration work on rare and exotic artifacts from around the world — each with its own story to tell, he says. In 1983 Goodkind moved to the forested mountains he loves. There, in the woods near the ocean, he built the house where he and his wife, Jeri, live, and came at last to tell his own stories.

And one megalomaniac will stop at nothing to find them...When Molly Templar witnesses a brutal murder at the brothel she has just been apprenticed to, her first instinct is to return to the poorhouse where she grew up. But there she finds her fellow orphans butchered, and it slowly dawns on her that she was in fact the real target of the attack. For Molly carries a secret deep in her blood, a secret that marks her out for destruction by enemies of the state. Soon Molly will find herself battling a grave threat to civilization which draws on an ancient power thought to have been quelled millennia ago. Oliver Brooks has led a sheltered life in the home of his merchant uncle. But when he is framed for his only relative's murder he is forced to flee for his life. He is accompanied by Harry Stave, an agent of the Court of the Air -- a shadowy organization independent of the government that acts as the final judiciary of the land, ensuring that order prevails.

Steve Niles 28 Days Later: The Aftermath Pbk published May 2007 by Voyager at Ł9.99 ISBN: 0007236727

Bridging the gap between the original film and its sequel to be released in 2007, 28 Days Later: The Aftermath tells the story of one of the last bands of un-infected humans in London, desperately trying to survive in the midst of the Rage virus. 28 Days Later was merely the beginning of the end. Two idealistic scientists unwittingly developing the deadliest virus the world has ever known! A family making desperate choices as they struggle to survive the Infection's initial outbreak! A lone gunslinging survivor battling the Infected in a decimated London! Four original tales chronicling the greatest horror humanity has ever faced come together in a bloody conclusion as terrifying as the Rage Virus itself. Will humanity's salvation come in the form of a rescue, or an over-zealous American army determined to eliminate anything left alive? Written by horror master Steve Niles (creator of the classic 30 Days of Night) and illustrated by three of the most terrifyingly talented illustrators working in comics today, 28 Days Later: The Aftermath begins before the hit movie-and ends with a shocking revelation that leads into the events of the sequel, 28 Weeks Later.
