    Does anyone know anything about the two infinity novels by Winged Hussar Publishing? I thought I saw a post a while ago that one of the books should have been released in August, But I cant seem to find anything by googling it.

    You may have seen my post, at the time on Amazon the books had a release date for this year, but in fact the books are not written, except for Downfall (Mark Barber) which is being written and the other one (Team Zed: SHell Game by Craig Gallant) which must still be in the first draft of ideas (based on the last new I saw of it 4/5 months ago).
    Winged Hussar Publishing created the Amazon article forms and rights deposits well in advance.


    Here are the links to the books' files

    Downfall, Mark Barber

    ISBN: 9781950423545

    Team Zed: SHell Game, Craig Gallant

    ISBN: 9781950423552

    In the meantime if you want to read news, for my forum I make a news recap:

    WHP uses Amazon's regional printing centers, so you could certainly purchase via your regional Amazon. Mark responded to a comment that it would perhaps be possible to buy his book from another retailer, if you don't want to give your money to Jeff Bezos, for his space travels.

    New nice cover, new description and so, there is only to wait for the green light from Interruptor and the publisher. :v:
    The level of English looks accessible to me, for the style I don't have the language skills to see if it's better than grr martin. So don't hesitate to give an opinion.


    Edit:
    FAQ Mark Marber

    Q: The bindi on the forehead is more common for Hindus not for Sikhs but some Sikh women may wear it decoratively.

    A: Yeah, a very good point. This was the artist's rendition of the character based on my description of her being descended of Indian heritage. We had some long conversations about this and all of us on the team take the cultural depictions very seriously indeed - the character depicted is agnostic, from a Hindu family. At one point I'd changed that to better suit the picture, but I was advised by those who know the Hindu faith far better than I do that, exactly as you say, the bindi is worn decoratively with increasing commonality. So, a couple of centuries into the future, who knows!

    After an answer from Mark, I added a FAQ point. Talking about the Indians origins of one of the characters (Prisha Singh who is in the foreground of the cover, with a red dot on the forehead).

    I had a quick look at the latest video from Infinity Gamer.
    He's going to do an interview with Mark Barber (novel Downfall), if you have any ideas for questions you can leave them in the comments of the video.

    News for the novel: Team Zed: Shell Game, by Craig Gallant. The novel is written and is in the editing step.

    About Downfall (Mark Barber), I don't have a facebook account to connect me to the IGC group and see if he made any news, but normally his novel will be published: 03/29/2022.

    Just for info, Craig Gallant did a podcast interview (foreign language podcasts aren't my thing, so I have no idea what you'll find sorry).


    Podcast: D6G Pip 105: Winged Hussar Publishing Interview
    Craig interviews Vince & Brandon Rospond, the men behind Winged Hussar Publishing. They discuss what they've learned in the past 10 years in publishing together along with what the future holds and some of the exciting relationships they've built with game publishers such as Warlord Games, Corvus Belli, & more!

    Hello all!
    It's amazing to see that this thread has been here since last August, and great that there is community interest in following these novels as they progress. I'm one of the Infinity novel authors and I'm in contact with the second author from time to time; if you have any specific questions, I'll try my very best to check this thread whenever I can, and give any answers I can.

    Yes, it was pointed out that it didn't make sense for the characters background
