Buy This Book: Devil's Cape

My good friend Rob Rogers is about to have his first novel published. In fact, it will hit stores in ONE WEEK!

From the man himself:

Man, it's just one week until Devil's Cape hits bookshelves. If you're interested in the book, please call your local bookstore and make sure that it's going to be stocking some copies. Judging by the other Discoveries titles, it might not automatically be stocked, and I could really use the help generating some interest.

Wizards has expanded its coverage of Devil's Cape on its site. Some things are still being tweaked and more content is coming, but I'm excited that a sample chapter has been posted. Please take a look at it here. I apologize that it's a zipped file--I'm not sure why they do it that way. If I can figure out a way to host the PDF myself somewhere, I'll do so.

What's this book about, you ask? Allow me to elaborate:

Heroes with a Southern Gothic edge.

If New Orleans has earned its "Sin City" nickname for its debauchery, then its nearby sister Devil's Cape has earned its "Pirate Town" moniker for the violence and blatant corruption that have marred the city since its founding. A city where corruption and heroism walk hand-in-hand, and justice and mercy are bought and paid-for in blood, Devil's Cape is a city like no other.

Devil's Cape is a novel like no other. It blends the gritty crime novel with a heavy dose of the supernatural and weaves a tale of superhuman heroes and villains. Briskly written and highly readable, Devil's Cape will appeal to a wide audience.

I had the privilege of reading an early draft of Devil's Cape. I'm not much of a fan of the comic book genre but story and characters kept me riveted. I can't wait for the final version to be released. I preordered my copy on Amazon months ago. Honestly, I'm not pushing this book just because Rob is my friend. It's a damn good book. Download the sample chapter and see if you're not instantly hooked.
