White Rocket Books proudly announces the release in trade
paperback and Kindle e-book formats of I.
A. Watson’s BLACKTHORN: DYNASTY OF MARS, a new novel that reveals the
shocking secrets of Princess Aria
while continuing the bold and exciting adventures of John Blackthorn, PulpArk Award winner for “Best New Character of
the Year.”
Eldest child of her world’s ruling dynasty, Aria is also the
daughter of the evil Black Sorcerer—one of the dreaded First Men of Mars—and
has been imbued with his sorcerous might. Rebelling against her father’s
tyranny, Princess Aria has joined forces with a human soldier and a savage
Mock-Man, and now dares to challenge the First Men’s rule. Will Aria’s power be
enough to tip the balance in John Blackthorn’s favor, and free her world—or
will she betray the rebels to her father—or worse—and bring all they have
fought for crashing down?
BLACKTHORN: DYNASTY OF MARS, by award-winning author I. A. Watson (Robin Hood; Sherlock Holmes) and with a spectacular cover painted
by Adam Diller, takes the saga of John Blackthorn and his brave
companions to the next level—and beyond—with a grand adventure stretching down
the centuries and across the war-torn face of post-apocalyptic Mars!
Created by Van Allen
Plexico (Sentinels, Lucian) in
the spirit of “Thundarr the Barbarian” and “John Carter of Mars,” the
Blackthorn Saga has already been nominated for seven PulpArk Awards and one
Pulp Factory Award. Now, says Plexico, “
Ian Watson has pulled back the curtain and given readers the chance to dig into
the rich history of future Mars, and to witness the rise of Princess Aria from
pampered aristocrat to powerful leader of a planet-wide rebellion—along with a
couple of guys named Blackthorn and Oglok. If you thought you knew the
Blackthorn story, you ain’t seen nothing yet!”
