Todays NextGen Publisher is Wargate Books.
WarGate came to my attention from the enthusiastic recommendations of several members of the Raconteur Press staff.
Perhaps a little bit too enthusiastic. Settle down Steve, that’s quite enough.
The project of the dynamic author-publisher team-up of Jason Anspach and Nick Cole, WarGate is not only the home of their massively successful and hardcore as heck wars-of-stellar-bodies-that-don’t-suck-because-our-elite-soldiers-can-actually-hit-something, aka Galaxy’s Edge, but serves as home to the awesome likes of Blaine Lee Pardoe, Peter Nealen, Ryan Williamson, Mark Sibley, Doc Spears, and more!
Their website is here. Complete with merch, toys, even RPG games.
The central conceit of WarGate’s capstone series, Forgotten Ruin, is to take modern day warriors and drop them into a fantasy setting, and see how they do. That’s it. That’s the schtick. The answer is, pretty friggin’ awesome, that’s how they do! As it says on the tin “Tolkien Meets Shock & Awe.”
Just to help drive home what they’re about a little more:
Their Order of the Centurion series in the Galaxy’s Edge universe features stand-alone novels by some of mil sci-fi’s best and brightest.
I’d take it kindly if you’d tell five friends about WarGate, go by their social media and say “Hi!” and then browse their backlist. I think you’ll be pleased.
