Captain's Fury - Sample Chapters!
Posted by iago at October 3, 2007 02:39 PM

By popular demand, we've started releasing sample chapters for the next Codex Alera book, Captain's Fury. We'll be updating the samples with a new chapter every week, on Wednesday, throughout the month of October (ending on Halloween!).

Comments

Codex Alera is right up there with WoT! Jim Butcher is a master and I especially love how previously 'evil' characters turn out to be not so evil and vice versa!

How come the Auckland Central Library gets copies of Captain's Fury months before Borders DYMOCKS and all those other bookstores! Re-reading Cursor's Fury while I wait to get my hands on Book 4!

4 days. Dresden files: 4 months. I'm starting to hate the number 4. Really starting to hate it.

hey i found a typo. Ehren's report of a thousand of them shifting position had represented an opportunity to inflict serious harm upon Nasaug's troops. A thousand were not so many as to be undefeatable, but more than enough to represent a significant lost to the enemy's prize corps of troops. When Tavi had learned which territory they were moving through, he had ordered his most mobile and dangerous units into the field at once.

shouldnt it be a significant loss?

Ooh! I just realized that "Tavi" is a group of consecutive letters that are found in the middle of a different name...

damm it ...... two whole months till its released in the usa and it looks like 3 months before i can get it in new zealand........the pain...still it looks like it gonna be worth the weight in gold.....

Found a typo in sample chapter 3 (sorry, I'm a QA guy..it's what I do):

Tavi reminded himself that if anyone intended to discredit him, baiting him into an emotional reaction would be an idea way to go about it, and he reined in his emotions.

Instead of 'idea' way...shouldn't that be 'ideal'?

Not wanting to be 'that guy'...just trying a little community feedback to improve things : )

Love Dresden and Alera by the way.

Does anyone have a map of where Tavi is
right now? i cant get any of the places and
locations straight
:(

It is Tuesday Night.

7:43 West Coast Time.

Can't wait for the next chapter.

I am a book nerd.

I need more...
Give us more!!!
I can barely contain myself with a chapter a week.
What am I to do after chapter four???
(tra la la la!!!)

OK, this was done by popular demand right? So this is self-inflicted torture? We did this to ourselves? God I am going to go insane.

I can't wait, keep up the good work Jim.

Posted by: David at October 20, 2007 10:28 PM

I now love wendsday, and it used to be my least loved day of the week. Are you sure you cant keep putting chapters out until Dec. 4th?

Posted by: Brittnye at October 18, 2007 01:56 PM

I'm more than a bit surprised that Valiar Marcus hasn't been Tavi's tutor over the past two years. Hopefully we get to see Tavi make some sort of breakthrough. However- this seems just as exciting and fun as every other book, and I can't wait to read it! Who knows what surprises are in store for us- we might even see an aleran/marat kid!

Posted by: Chris at October 16, 2007 08:19 PM

jim cant u post two entries per week, the suspense is killing me!

i wish early order means early delivery as well.

Posted by: jack at October 15, 2007 08:44 PM

Wow...

I've been so excited since Cursor's Fury; now I can hardly wait!!!

Hurry up next Wednesday! (Are you sure you can't give us a few more chapters? It's going to be so hard to wait until December!)

Posted by: Lauren at October 14, 2007 07:17 PM

I was a big Dresden files fan and still am but I just recently poxkes up the codex alera and I must say its just as great a series if not better. I cannot wait for the next installment even though I am pretty good at waiting for the books now having waited a year for the next dresden book. And typing on this super sensitive iPhone keyboard is hard!

Posted by: Rob at October 12, 2007 10:15 AM

More & more interesting. looks like the next few chapters are going to be a tad exciting

Posted by: Dave at October 10, 2007 05:32 AM

Been looking forward to this book ever since Cursor's Fury came out. One of the best series I've read in a while.

The prolouge has just whetted the appetite. Can't wait for next installment

Posted by: jeff s at October 10, 2007 02:05 AM

Hurry up Jim and put the book out...the start is absolutely amazing, surely your loyal readers should be able to get advanced copys, wouldn't that be grand.

Posted by: Lisa at October 8, 2007 08:51 PM
