Cover Reveal: Recruited by Thomas Parrott

Hello and welcome to this Cover Reveal article here on Track of Words, where today I’m delighted to offer a first look at Recruited by Thomas Parrott, a new novel based on Tom Clancy’s The Division that’s coming in 2022 from Aconyte Books. I haven’t played the video game this is based on but it sounds like an ideal setting for this sort of technothriller…and I love a good thriller! I’ve also enjoyed all of Tom’s stories that I’ve read so far – for Aconyte, Black Library and his own original work – so I’ve got a feeling I’m going to enjoy Recruited – and I’m sure I won’t be the only person to do so.

Last Resort – Josh Reynolds

Aconyte Books’ range of novels based on the board game Zombicide begins with Josh Reynolds’ Last Resort, an entertaining and action-packed tale of survival against the odds after a zombie apocalypse. Westlake is a career thief, determined to brave the dangers of the zombie-infested Adirondack Mountains in search of ‘the Villa’, a semi-mythical sanctuary controlled by a vicious mafia kingpin. When he’s saved from serious trouble by a ragtag group of survivors led by an ex-FBI agent of his acquaintance, he sees the opportunity to find a crew of sorts to help him reach and access the Villa, if only he can persuade them to help. Luckily for Westlake, the survivors are growing increasingly desperate, and are willing to risk much for the chance to find a safe haven from the zombies.

AUTHOR INTERVIEW: Amanda Bridgeman Talks Pandemic Patient Zero

Hello and welcome to this Track of Words Author Interview, where today I’m talking to Amanda Bridgeman about her novel Patient Zero, the first volume in a new series from Aconyte Books based on the world of the hit board game Pandemic. It couldn’t be much more of a topical subject matter for a novel, and as you’ll find out in the interview it’s had an interesting route to publication, but if you like a good ‘mystery of the week’ procedural then this definitely sounds like one to keep an eye on! It’s published as a global ebook on the 7th September, followed by the US paperback edition later the same month and the UK paperback in November.

The Fractured Void – Tim Pratt

Tim Pratt kicks off Aconyte Books’ range of Twilight Imperium novels with The Fractured Void, a tale of space pirates, covert operatives, and an infuriating but potentially very important scientist. Captain Felix Duval dreams of one day sitting at the Mentak Coalition’s Table of Captains, but for now he’s relegated to piloting his ship The Temerarious in a dull posting out on the fringes of the Coalition where nothing exciting ever happens. When they foil the attempted kidnapping of a scientist named Thales, however, Felix and his small crew face all the excitement they could ever want, as they attempt to keep the deeply aggravating Thales safe while he perfects a technology that he claims will change the face of the galaxy forever.

Target: Kree – Stuart Moore

Based on the all-guns-blazing, anything goes setting of the Marvel: Crisis Protocol game, Stuart Moore’s Target: Kree takes some of the biggest names from Marvel’s hero roster and throws them together into an action-packed tale of intergalactic danger, exploring themes of immigration and everyday prejudice along the way. When the planet Praeterus is destroyed, the Guardians of the Galaxy help evacuate as many Kree from the surface as they can, the survivors making their way to Earth and employment with Stark Industries. Worried that the person responsible for Praeterus’ destruction is now among the surviving Kree, the Guardians head to Earth to track them down, and quickly clash with Tony Stark and the Avengers. Amid accusations of exploitation and conflicting motivations, the Guardians and Avengers have to find a way of working together in order to stave off further disaster.

Aconyte Books Roundup: June/July 2021

It’s been a couple of months since I last did an Aconyte Books roundup, so in this article I’m going to take a look at recent Aconyte releases from June and July 2021. There are four new releases to talk about, between them covering a lot of ground across four different IPs – Legend of the Five Rings, Assassin’s Creed, Arkham Horror and Marvel: Crisis Protocol – so if you’re a fantasy and/or sci-fi fan I’d be pretty hopeful of there being something here which will appeal! As usual I’ll also quickly recap over a few other recent releases which are either now or soon to be available in UK paperback editions, then take a look ahead to some cool upcoming releases. Lastly, I’ll pick out a book from the Aconyte back catalogue to talk about in a bit more detail!
