Cavern of Black Ice by JV Jones

There are plenty more to add, like the Covenant books by Donaldson and Hobb's Liveship,trilogy but I won't go into that right now because they're not all first releases and the strict thread regulation http://www.sffworld.com/ubb/wink.gif

Seven, eh ? Hope first edition massmarket paperbacks count http://www.sffworld.com/ubb/wink.gif Straight from my to-buy list:

Tad Williams - Sea of Silver Light
Neil Gaiman - American Gods
R.A. Salvatore - Ascendance
Raymond Feist - Tears of the Gods
Juliet Mariller - Son of the Shadows
David Farland - Wizardborn
Steven Erikson - Memories of Ice


Off topic - I might pick up 1984 just so I can see where the forum is going with all these guidelines http://www.sffworld.com/ubb/smile.gif

In no particular order. The term "Just Released" is defined as "Released some time during the last 6 or so months".

1. J V Jones - Fortress of Grey Ice
2. Robin Hobb - Fool's Errand
3. Robin Hobb - The Golden Fool
4. G R R Martin - A Feast for Crows
5. Robert Jordan - Crossroads of Twilight
6. James Clemens - Wit'ch Gate
7. R A Salvatore - Ascendance (1st MM PB)

Tough one (;
