Vous vous demandez peut-être pourquoi j'ai mis le mot "Premier" entre guillemets. C'est que ce n'est pas mon premier ajournement à ce sujet, mais c'est la première fois que j'en parle à mes lecteurs francophones. En effet, comme vous le savez probablement, j'ai écrit...

Hello all, if you've been wondering what the cover for Eruption, Book 2 of Conquerors of K'Tara, may be, here are Michele (Meekeleh) Parisi's sketches of it. What do you think? The cover portrays Prince Toras at the head of a force composed of his Black Guardians,...
