Are you in the mood for some reading that’s a bit heavier than the video game news post you’re currently digesting? We suggest you check out this Random House page to read an excerpt from the first chapter of the Elder Scrolls-based novel, The Infernal City. The few pages of text introduce us to what will likely be the book’s plucky protagonists, Annaïg and Mere-Glim.
It’s a pretty intriguing kick-off for the novel’s plot — however, the excerpt doesn’t exactly sound like our usual experience in the Elder Scrolls world. See, in our version, the heroes would systematically rob everyone on the planet blind, and then, once bored with that, would just start killin’. It may not win any Pulitzers, but at least it’s authentic.

It’s been a while since the Halo: Evolutions story collection was announced. Now, just a month away from its November 24 launch, Tor Books has revealed both the book’s cover art and all of the authors who will contribute to the compilation. Contributing to the book will be John Goff, Frank O’Connor and Kevin Grace of 343 Industries, as well as authors B.K Evenson, Jeff Vandermeer, Tessa Kum and Fred Van Lente. As previously announced, Eric Nylund, Tobias Buckell and Karen Traviss will also be penning stories for the book.
Tor editor Eric Raab promises the collection will appeal to “every kind of Halo fan from straight up action with the Master Chief to glimpse [sic] into the Elite mindset post Halo 3” and will also delve into characters like Cortana, the Gravemind and Admiral Cole. One thing’s for sure: If you like teabagging and reading, this book is for you.
