Lovely to see so many friendly faces at the Angry Robot Launch at Forbidden Planet on Saturday. A fantastic time was had by all and it was great talking to friends old and new. The Forbidden Planet crew did a great job of managing the chaos. In particular, thanks go to Danie for being such a delightful and charming host.
Amidst the mayhem, the wonderful Dan Abnett was busily signing copies of Triumff, his swashbuckling alternate-elizabethan romp. Statuesque Andy Remic was charming fans of Kell’s Legend without the aid of a giant two-headed axe, and Colin Harvey had shaken off the man-flu to power up the starship Winter Song for a recidivist Icelandic SF planet-freezing powerhouse. We even managed to sign a precious few advanced copies of Sixty-One Nails – now don’t you wish you were there?
All of this was helped along splendidly by Angry Robot’s masked avenger, Lee Harris,and the robot mastermind, Marc Gascoigne.
