'The Heirs Of Babylon' Is Getting Re-Released!

Oh happy day! Not only do I have a new Black Company book to enjoy these days, it seems the wonderful folk over at Night Shade Books (you know, the ones that released a large swathe of Glen Cook's back catalog in recent years) have gotten a hold of Cook's first published novel (no, not the softcore porn 'The Swap Academy' written under the pseudonym Greg Stevens), The Heirs of Babylon.

You can read the press release here.

What's more; the uber-talented Raymond Swanland was contracted to design the new cover! Check this beauty out:

Amazing, right? Compare that with the original cover:

(Note: that's my actual copy of the original book)

What's more, at the Night Shade website, you can see all of the conceptual pieces which Swanland proposed. They are definitely worth taking a look at. 

Also, if you're interested in reading more about The Heirs of Babylon, look no further than my own review of it here. In short, it was solid for a first book.
