Bon, certes, Le Trône de Fer, c'est pas mal comme saga de fantasy...
Mais ne pourrait-on pas faire mieux ? En y ajoutant par exemple, je ne sais pas... des dinosaures ? C'est en tout cas le parti pris de Victor Milan, dont le The Dinosaur Lords sera publié en juillet 2015 chez Tor Books. Eh oui, il fallait y penser avant lui ! Ci-dessous, retrouvez également le synopsis et ci-contre, l'illustration de couverture de Richard Anderson.
Et voilà comment faire parler d'un roman des mois à l'avance en résumant son contenu par une simple formule...

A world made by the Eight Creators on which to play out their games of passion and power, Paradise is a sprawling, diverse, often brutal place. Men and women live on Paradise as do dogs, cats, ferrets, goats, and horses. But dinosaurs predominate: wildlife, monsters, beasts of burden – and of war. Colossal planteaters like Brachiosaurus; terrifying meateaters like Allosaurus and the most feared of all, Tyrannosaurus rex. Giant lizards swim warm seas. Birds (some with teeth) share the sky with flying reptiles that range in size from batsized insectivores to majestic and deadly Dragons.
Thus we are plunged into Victor Milán's splendidly weird world of The Dinosaur Lords, a place that for all purposes mirrors 14th century Europe with its dynastic rivalries, religious wars, and byzantine politics…and the weapons of choice are dinosaurs. Where we have vast armies of dinosaur-mounted knights engaged in battle. And during the course of one of these epic battles, the enigmatic mercenary Dinosaur Lord Karyl Bogomirsky is defeated through betrayal and left for dead. He wakes, naked, wounded, partially amnesiac – and hunted. And embarks upon a journey that will shake his world.
