Richard Swan

Waiting on Wednesday – The Infinite State by Richard Swan Welcome to my weekly segment, Waiting on Wednesday, where I look at upcoming books that I am planning to order and review in the next few months and which I think I will really enjoy.  Stay tuned t…

For this week's Waiting on Wednesday, I highlight on an awesome and relevant upcoming science fiction novel, The Infinite State by @richardswanauthor.bsky.social. Featuring an intriguing plot I'm curious to check out, this is going to be an outstanding read.

It's set 200 years after Empire of the Wolf; same world, different time period, different characters. Can definitely be read as a standalone series, but there will be some mild, throwaway spoilers for Trials of Empire

DEAD WEIGHT by @hildur.bsky.social—wonderfully unsettling horror 🐈

THE TOWER OF THE TYRANT by @jeremyteg.bsky.social—philosophical epic fantasy!

THE SCOUR by @richardswanauthor.bsky.social—crime procedurals x The Witcher!

PROJECT HANUMAN by @stewarthotston.com—ideas on a scale only sci-fi can do!

I LOVE fantasy maps. If you grabbed an unsigned copy of The Scour by @richardswanauthor.bsky.social , then you will have seen the B&W version of this map. If you grabbed the limited signed hardcover edition released by @thebrokenbinding.bsky.social , you would have this map in full colour.

Some still images of Rebecca Hanssen (The Witcher, Baldur's Gate III) recording her reading of the dark fantasy story COLD COMFORT by Matt Ward. Grab your coats for this one folks, it's dark, it's cold, and it has an absolutely haunting ending.

La Justice des Rois : Fantasy et Justice Craignez la Voix de l’Empereur

Un excellent premier tome pour cette dark fantasy qui mêle polar et réflexion sur la justice.
Richard Swan fait une entrée en matière remarquable !

When the audiobook reader needs a physical copy to check the map, you oblige cause it gives you the chance to share the shiny @thebrokenbinding.bsky.social edition of @richardswanauthor.bsky.social’s #GraveEmpire 🔥

I heartily approve

My Militarum Tempestus desert army, finally complete. Went for a largely 1st Gulf War inspired scheme, trying to mix some variation into the units with ghillies and keffiyehs and converting normal AM units with scions

Thanks mate. Good luck in your search 🫡

I'm sorry to say your only option will be to try a shop like Blackwell's that ships internationally 🥲

@thebrokenbinding.bsky.social @richardswanauthor.bsky.social I guess I know how I’ll be kicking off my 2026 reading journey…so diligently packaged (just missing a sprig of holly!). Beautiful book design and somehow I just know the contents will be brilliant!

Agreed, the Macharius Vulcan is one of the best looking tanks they ever made
