Sci-fi and fantasy author Kevin J. Anderson has delivered to his publisher the the final draft for his second book in the Terra Incognita fantasy series, The Map of All Things, weighing in at 704 pages.
“Within the next few months I will receive the publisher’s copy edit, then the typeset galleys for proofing, and the book will finally be released in June 2010,” Anderson wrote on his blog this week.
Anderson is primarily known for his work in science fiction, particularly in the Star Wars and Dune universes, where he has published prolifically over the past several decades. He is also well known for his Saga of the Seven Suns series.
The Terra Incognita series is his first venture into the fantasy world. The first book in the series, The Edge of the World, was published in June 2009 and is described on Amazon:
“Terra Incognita – the blank spaces on the map, past the edge of the world, marked only by the words “here be monsters. Two nations at war, fighting for dominion over the known, and undiscovered, world, pin their last hopes at ultimate victory on finding a land out of legend.
Each will send their ships to brave the untamed seas, wild storms, sea serpents, and darker dangers unknown to any man. It is a perilous undertaking, but there will always be the impetuous, the brave and the mad who are willing to leave their homes to explore the unknown. Even unto the edge of the world …”
The Winds of Dune debuts at number 15 on the New York Times bestseller list.
