New sample chapter for Scott Lynch's THE REPUBLIC OF THIEVES

[Werthead]

Scott Lynch made quite a splash with his debut novel, THE LIES OF LOCKE LAMORA, when it was published in 2006. The sequel, RED SEAS UNDER RED SKIES, was also well-received when it was released the following year.

 

Various personal issues have much-delayed the third book in the planned seven-volume series, THE REPUBLIC OF THIEVES, but those problems seem to have been resolved. Lynch has now updated his website with a new, annotated sample from RED SEAS but, more importantly, the complete prologue for REPUBLIC as well.

 

REPUBLIC doesn't have a firm release date, but is currently expected in mid-2010 from Gollancz in the UK and Bantam in the USA.

I read it!  It was... interesting.  We'll see how it works with the rest of the book.
