sobriqueI have recently picked up a new book: Empire of Black and Gold (shadows of the Apt), by Adrian Tchaikovsky. Based off Amazon's recommendations.
I've been quite enjoying it - enough at least, that I've bought part's 2 and 3 as well. Seems to have interesting 'artifice/sorcery' divides, and ... all the characters are sort of insectoid in nature.
But anyway, have just had occasion to start book 2, and spotted a bit of a bio.
Seems he's a keen Live Action Roleplayer, and ... the acknowledgements at the start of book two, include a nod in the general direction of Maelstrom.
Small world huh?
I thought having a 'black and gold' bunch of wasps as the bad guy seemed oddly familiar...
