Two-book Heaven's Gate Chronicles
to start April 2013
A new gun-slinging fantasy series mixing the Wild
West, Steampunk, angels, and a town that exists for only a day is set to begin
its epic story next year, courtesy of Solaris.
Guy Adams’ The Good, The Bad and The Infernal
is a weird western, a gun-toting, cigarillo-chewing fantasy built from
hangman’s rope and spent bullets!
The Good,
The Bad and The Infernal will be the first book in the exciting new Heaven’s Gate Chronicle series, debuting in April 2013. Details of
the second title in the series will be announced in the near future.
"Guy's writing is fresh, exciting and laced
with a wicked sense of humour,” said Jonathan Oliver, editor-in-chief of
Solaris. “I love a good Western, but Guy's new series is so much more than
that. The Heaven's Gate Chronicles
promises to be a hell of a ride, and heaven to read."
“You wish to
meet your God?” the gunslinger asked, “well now... that’s easy to arrange.”
Roughly
every one hundred years a town appears. From a small village in the peaks of
Tibet to a gathering of mud huts in the jungles of South American, it can take
many forms. It exists for twenty-four hours then vanishes, but for that single
day it contains the greatest miracle a man could imagine: a doorway to Heaven.
It is due to
appear on the 21st September 1889 as a ghost town in the American Midwest. When
it does there are many who hope to be there:
Travelling
preacher Obeisance Hicks and his simple messiah, a brain-damaged Civil War
veteran; Henry and Harmonium Jones and their freak show pack of outlaws; the
Brothers of Ruth and their sponsor Lord Forset (inventor of the Forset
Thunderpack and other incendiary modes of personal transport); finally, an
aging gunslinger who lost his wings at the very beginning of creation and wants
nothing more than to settle old scores.
