The Battle of Phobos Series Comes to its Epic Conclusion August 27th With WARSONG: Codettas.7/20/2023 The Battle of Phobos Series Comes to its Epic Conclusion August 27th With WARSONG: Codettas. The long-awaited finale to the Battle of Phobos book series is finally here with the new book WARSONG: Codettas. Readers have been waiting for the conclusion of the three intertwined stories of Jack Wilgress, Rogan Hallard, and Higen Orochito for over a decade now. “When the series started back in 2010, I never guessed I’d be the one shepherding it to its finale,” said range editor James Wylder. “I was just an excited fan at the time, so its an honor to bring it to its conclusion.” This final volume takes the build up from the previous books, Preludes and Stretti, and hammers it to a climax. In the far future, a splintered humanity has reached the point of no return on the divisions between them, and now war between these fractious groups is inevitable. Over the skies of Mars, the biggest conflict in humanity’s history is about to begin, and the choices of Wilgress, Hallard, and Higen will make all the difference. Codettas features an exciting line up of talent, featuring novellas by the esteemed Hugo Award Finalist and Locus Award Nominee Bryan Thomas Schmidt (Shattered Shields, Infinite Stars), WARSONG veteran Sabrina Fried (A More Civilized Age, WARSONG: Stretti), and James Wylder (Cwej: Down the Middle, 10,000 Dawns), as well as a short story by Michael Robertson (Goblinpunk, Cwej: Down the Middle). “Working with Bryan Thomas Schmidt on this book was a dream come true, and his prowess as a writer and editor really made these stories shine. I think readers will find something special with this one,” Wylder said. WARSONG has its origins in Decipher’s WARS TCG, whose setting and story were created with the help of New York Times Bestselling Author Michael Stackpole (X-Wing: Rogue Squadron, I, Jedi). The stories and characters have continued on from it, with the support of a devoted fanbase. The Phobos series began in 2010 from Grail Quest Books, before moving to Arcbeatle Press in late 2019. Since then the series has been rereleased in new editions before continuing to its conclusion. “It's been a long road,” says Wylder, “but this final volume makes it all worth it.” WARSONG: Codettas will be released August 27th. Digital Pre-Orders are available now, while the print version will be available on day of release.

Cwej: Down the Middle is set to be rereleased as three smaller volumes, from publisher Arcbeatle Press. “We want to make Cwej: Down the Middle as accessible and affordable as possible for our readers,” explains project supervisor James Hornby. “The separate volumes will allow readers to jump into whichever arc they’re interested in, without missing the details prevalent to their understanding,” adds editor Hunter O’Connell. Down the Middle follows the adventures of Chris Cwej, a former companion of the Seventh Doctor from BBCtv’s Doctor Who, now embarking on his own journeys through the universe with his very own mischievous companions, Larles and Kwol. The three volumes feature stories from writers such as Simon Bucher-Jones (Doctor Who: The Death of Art), Jeffrey Koval (EverymanHYBRID), James Wylder (WARS, 10,000 Dawns), James Hornby (UNIT), and the creator of Cwej, Andy Lane (Doctor Who: Original Sin) alongside many fresh voices. “These ‘arc editions,’ as we internally call them, are meant to attract an audience which would otherwise be intimidated with Down the Middle’s size and wish to start smaller,” O’Connell says. “We look forward to seeing a new readership experiencing these incredible stories for the first time, in a whole new way.” The first volume, Living Memory, is set to be released 27 July, comprising the stories from A Bright White Crack to In the Loop. Dying to Forget (from Ring Theory to The Eternal) and Uprising (from The Ursine Brood to the finale) are to follow in September and November. Further updates on the series’ future are to follow soon afterward.    |
