Book four of the Red
Sun, The Broken Isles by Mark
Charan Newton is out on 18 July from Tor Books (£7.99):
“War spills into the Boreal Archipelago, as two rival
cultures bring their eternal battle into this adjacent realm.
Fresh from a military victory, Commander Brynd Lathraea
plans to rebuild the city of Villiren, where he is confronted with a dilemma.
There are friendly forces which have no other choice but to live alongside his
own people, and their numbers will be required to fight in the looming
conflict. The commander turns politician as he seeks to build bridges and
embrace mysterious new technologies to further his ambitions. However, many in
Villiren are sceptical of aliens coming to their city, tensions run high, and
even the dream of a peaceful future brings with it inevitable clashes of
beliefs.
Meanwhile, Villjamur has been destroyed. A vast swathe of
refugees from the legendary city is now on the run from an immense alien
presence in the sky. Villages are being cleared and people are dying en masse.
And Inquisitor Fulcrom finds himself at the helm of an operation to aid the
refugee exodus to the coast, but it's a race against time before this
threatened genocide is complete. Ancient civilisations line up on the field of
battle. Exotic creatures and a possible god walk alongside citizens of the
Empire. As the Legends of the Red Sun series draws to a close, there will be
one final and immense conflict to decide the fate of multiple cultures forever.”
