It is my sincere pleasure to announce the ARC (Advance Reader Copy) cover of my soon-to-be-released new novel “Colt the Outlander: Shadow of Ruin!” The novel has been about two years in the making. The character, Colt the Outlander, has been around for over a decade, appearing repeatedly in Heavy Metal Magazine, and is the brainchild of Aradio Brothers Studios, paired with the amazing artwork by R.C. Aradio himself.
So, what’s it about?
On Neb-6, only the strong survive.
When a band of inhuman assassins comes after Colt and his bounty- hunting femme-fatales, Jenna and Brem, they set in motion events that will shape Colt’s destiny for years to come, if he lives long enough, anyway.
Forced to leave the warm desert sands of his home, the Crow’s Nest, Colt must brave the brutal, arctic conditions of Geleira, Neb-6’s southern polar continent. Only there can he learn who the assassins are and why they want Colt dead. As the mystery unravels, Colt discovers something older, colder, and far more deadly than arctic-born, feline assassins. Evil lurks beneath the rocks and ice of Geleira, and it wants all of humanity destroyed.
Most books get ARCs. It’s how publishers get the word out and build up reviews prior to the book being available to the general public. But this ARC is special. The guys over at Aradio Brothers Studios (R.C., Dom, and Dante) and I will be autographing 100 of these Limited Edition ARCs. Some will be going to high-profile reviewers, with most of the others being delivered at eBooks.
We’re plan on sending out ARCs in print and digital formats to as many reviewers as we can track down. If you do book reviews and have a magazine, eZine, blog, vLog, podcast, or other means of reaching folks about great new science fiction novels, then reach out to me on FaceBook or at quincy.allen @ quincyallen.com and let me know where to send it.
But don’t worry, being a reviewer is not the only way you can get your hands on what promises to be a great collector’s item as Colt the Outlander takes off. We’ll be doing weekly giveaways in the coming months, once we get a little closer to our official publication date. So stay tuned for upcoming announcements of all the great things happening with Colt the Outlander.
We’ve set up a Join Us page so you won’t miss out on a thing. Just CLICK HERE and sign up. Then we’ll send you emails whenever something major is happening with Colt. That will include a few contests, a number of giveaways, and the key dates and places where we’ll be premiering this great new novel.
If you like action-packed sci-fi (think Mad Max crossed with Star Wars and a healthy dose of Borderlands mixed in), then you’ll definitely want to keep on top of what’s happening on Neb-6.
There will be lots going on, so don’t miss out on a thing.
Cheers!
