Preorders for Quantum Devil Saga: Avatar Tuner, vol. 1
11 years ago
Hey folks,
So, this isn't furry-related specifically (other than the fact that it's something I did), but hopefully this will interest folks here.
The big project I did at the end of last year and early this year was a translation of a Japanese sci-fi novel, volume one of a series called Quantum Devil Saga: Avatar Tuner. I have more information on the book itself here, but the short version is that it'a a very gritty and visceral story of a post-apocalyptic world where bands of warriors are all fighting for the right to enter the promised land of Nirvana, and where people have horrifying powers forced upon them, robbing them of their humanity in their quest for victory. It's really neat and kinda messed up in a good way, and I think folks who have enjoyed my writing in the past would probably like this, too.
Anyhow...
The publisher's preorder system for the hardcover version* of the book (due out at the end of July) has gone live, and you can find it here:

Use the coupon code AT_PREORDER to get free shipping on your first copy of the book! (Unfortunately, the preorder system is for US orders only.)
I know it's not a furry thing, but I really do hope at least some of you will check this out. It's a five-book series, so if the first volume does well, I could conceivably have a shot at being pegged to do a lot more novel translation in the future, and I'd find that pretty awesome.
Tell your friends! Especially if they're into messed-up Japanese sci-fi.
*Paperback and ebook versions of the book will be released as well, but they're not part of the preorder system.

Do let us know when the e-book edition comes out, please? (From past experience, that'll reach me before a physical copy to a US address...)

Right now it's looking like July 31st, but I'll certainly keep folks updated!

Oh sweet, was half-expecting it'd be a year or so.

I'll definitely check this out. Can I ask is this in sync with the video games or just kinda in the setting?

OP
The short version is that it's the original story creator's take on the story of Digital Devil Saga if it were always a series of novels and not an RPG plot. So the setting, characters, and basic premise are the same, but the details are all different and the divergence between game and book expands the further in you get.

Then I will be checking this out, I think.
