“Tales of the Fallen can be picked up and enjoyed without having read a single page of the novel,” promises Barry. “It can be viewed as either an introduction/prequel to Fallen Heroes or give those who have already read the book a deeper understanding of the characters.”
Here’s what the back cover has to say:
They are murderers, martyrs and mercenaries in the no-man’s-land between adventure and crusade – soldiers of fate and fierce honour, bound together in mystery, darkness and blood. Their enemies are shadows haunting the outermost borders of a darkening world, and as night approaches the shadows grow long. They are the Fallen, and these are their stories.
Cy Dethan, writer of the acclaimed Cancertown reveals what readers can expect from the anthology “The book is a collection of “expanded universe” stories and range from high-powered adventure to all-out slaughter and the credits list reads like a who’s who of guys I’ve been dying to share page space with for years..”
“This is a powerful volume, packed full of shocks, surprises and intelligence. From my perspective, there’s nothing else like it in comics shops around the world! “– Sci-Fi Pulse The 128 page anthology also contains previews of the first issue of the comic adaptation of the novel, creative bios, character bios and as is available for £12.99 from the Unseen Shadows Shop.
