The book is titled Zerenzies zenith of revenge. It will be 900 pages long. The 2nd part will follow in Febuary 2003 with another 900 pages, both hardback. With paperbacks to follow. Both already complete.
From Tor books. It is a very difficult thing to do these days, get your book published, only 1% make it through. Tor books is the number 1 sci-fi and fantasy publishing house.
My Full-length Cg movie is based on the books, and will be whimsical, hard hitting at the same time and very adventurous. No real slow downs, or getting to involved with political discussions. Just in-depth adventure. A quest that has action, romance and no campy nonsense in its plot or story and will be just a out and out rollercoaster ride. From evil beings of all kinds to the beautiful and exotic beings. To endless lands, never slowing down, just an epic quest.At no time will the story or plot get bogged down. The scenes and landscapes are of another time and place that just have not been seen before, large scale sets of millions of polys and anything from Shrek type scenes to Matrix style sets. To be excepted by Tor books from out of no where is proof enough of what I speak. They are very excited about it. In fact they are touting it to reach the best seller lists. They have asked my Brother for a 3rd edition. Which he is at work on now.
I have read all of the classic Fantasy/sci-fi books out there, and sorry for sounding so conceited, but nothing comes close. Yes I know it's my Brothers book and I am biased towards it, but it is just that, a real epic of a different kind.
My Movie will run 2 hours based on the 1st book. To put in words what we have with all this is a injustice to what it is. 1.800 pages can not be explained in a brief synopsis with any real justice to what the book and movie will encompass. I will post screens, and concepts after the Holidays of the movie.
No Jar Jar binks type campiness, or getting bogged down in one location,or endless dialog of cheesey cheap nonsense. No plastic cheap thrills. It's all hardcore sci-fi. But again not shallow in the story department like Final Fantasy was for the most part. Not kiddie like Bugs life or Toy story 1 or 2, (even though I loved those for what they were). Creatures that rival the beasts from the Alien series and Predator to new and original beasts that just have to be seen to be believed. To hero's, and there battles and love affairs. To quirky and fun Disney type mixed with Tim Burton type characters, all without the fluff. Davinchi style technology, steam powered to Ionic style architecture to Tibetin style. On and on it goes. Inventions, life forms of inorganic and organic beings, to a little of both.
One thing I will say before I go is this remember this name: The RIG, it will be to this generation what the BATMOBILE was to the past generations. I have already modeled it and it will be in my first shown animations this Febuary. It is the Main characters Transport. You heard it here first.
Thanks for your interest SAL.
I'll let you know more in the future if still interested.
