I’m pleased to announce that Deceived
will debut at #13 on the April 10th NY Times Hardcover Fiction Bestseller List. I want to thank all of you who purchased the book. Word of mouth has really been fabulous and that means a lot to me. So thank you!
And hey, if you haven’t picked it up yet, why not give it a go right…NOW.
And also, since I’ve gotten this question a lot from readers of my Star Wars work. Yes, if you enjoyed Deceived
and/or Crosscurrent
, I think it likely that you will also enjoy my non-Star Wars work, which is similar in tone and style. If that interests you, I recommend starting with either The Erevis Cale Trilogy Omnibus
(or, if you don’t want to go whole hog with the Omnibus, the first book of the that trilogy, Twilight Falling
) or Shadowbred (The Twilight War, Book 1)
, whichever is most easily available.
Again, my sincere thanks. You all are great.

NAIS.
By the way Mr. Kemp, normally I don’t read Star Wars but your book has infected with a strong desire for lightsaber and blasters. Any books that you’d recommend for a new reader? The only books I’ve read is Salvatore’s Episode II (Well, because it’s Salvatore man…), Force Unleashed by Sean Williams (Which is….. What you’d expect from a video game book), Crosscurrent (WOOOOHOOOOO!) and Deceived. Riptide is so far far away……..
I’ve heard great things about Stover’s “Shatterpoint” and Zahn’s “Heir to the Empire” trilogy.
I’ve never been a huge fan of the Stars Wars universe but I enjoy Kemp’s work. Do you have to be knowledgeable on the ends and outs of Star Wars to enjoy the book?
If I could jump right in and like I did the Erevis Cale trilogy then I think I might pick up a copy.
Mario,
You definitely do not need to know the ins and outs of SW to enjoy the book.
Like you Mario I wasn’t a huge Star Wars fan and frankly the only 2 books in the Star Wars universe that I have read are Crosscurrent and Deceived and I’ve got to tell you that if you’re a fan of Mr. Kemp’s work than you’ll love both books like I did. Fantastic read plain and simple.
Thanks Paul and Dan for the answers. I will definitely check both out. Plus I need some good books to hold me over until Godborn comes out.
