Williams’ latest confirmed project is “The Last King of Osten Ard”; the first book in this highly-anticipated new series, The Witchwood Crown, is set to be released in March 2017.

Science fiction author John Scalzi is best known for his “Old Man’s War” series, three novels of which — Old Man’s War, The Last Colony, and Zoe’s Tale — have been nominated for the prestigious Hugo Award.
