More Series Books Added to WWEnd
Added some more books over the weekend.
David Eddings‘ King of the Murgos was a Locus Fantasy nominee in 1989 so I added the other 4 books of The Malloreon to complete the series.
But what’s the Malloreon without The Belgariad? Uh… just 5 books instead of 10? Yep. Had to add the whole saga.
To keep the fantasy series theme going I added in the rest of the books for Memory, Sorrow and Thorn by Tad Williams. Book 3 was nominated for the Locus Fantasy Award in 1994. If you read it, you know that the last book of the trilogy was over 1,000 pages – too many pages for a single paperback, so the publishers divided it into 2 volumes. So the Trilogy is actually 4 books in paperback form but not in hardcover. To get around this problem, I tagged both volumes of To Green Angel Tower as book 3 and added Part 1 – Seige and Part 2 – Storm as sub-titles. It’s still a trilogy but you get credit for 4 books if you read them. Bonus! The new Orbit covers are tasty too.
And now for something completely different… A guy so nice you say the "E" twice – E.E. "Doc" Smith. This is old school SF we’re talking about. Skylark DuQuesne was nominated for the Hugo in 1966. (Check out the Hugo lineup for 1966!) After reading the synopsis I decided I’d have to read this one. Turns out it’s the 4th book of the Skylark Series written 16 years after book 3. The series was a pulp serial originally and published in a book starting in 1946! Check out the covers on this series. These are the stuff of dreams. Classic SF goodness.
These and other new additions to the WWEnd database can be found in the forum. I’ll post up all the newest books each Monday.
