Sean-Cummings-Hi-Resolution

*Cue drumroll* Today’s guest star on the blog is author Sean Cummings, who is visiting all the way from the great white north, Canada. Sean is the author of several urban fantasy novels and has this year taken the plunge into young adult fiction with his novel Poltergeeks, coming out soon from Strange Chemistry, the shiny new young adult imprint of Angry Robot Books. You can find my review of the novel here. And without further ado, here’s the man himself, talking about both his new book and the new genre he is tackling.

Bane of Kings reviews the jaw-dropping, penultimate (5th) novel in Michael Grant’s thrilling Gone series, entitled Fear, which was released in hardback in April this year. Fear is a young adult novel, published by Egmont Books.

“One of the, if not the darkest Young Adult book that I’ve ever had the pleasure to read. Fear is page-turning, gripping and leaves you only wanting more. This series is superb, and cannot be missed by any Young Adult fan. The Best Young Adult Novel of 2012 so far.” ~The Founding Fields

Warning! As this is the fifth book in the series, this review presumes prior knowledge of the previous Gone novels. So, there are of course, spoilers for events that happened in those books.
