June 2nd, 2022
Today is the day.
I hope you’ll join me in giving a warm welcome to my eighth book, and my first full-length novel, Cold World.
It is now officially for sale on Amazon as an ebook, paperback, and hardcover, and as a signed paperback on dennisvogen.com.
I want to tell you everything about it and also want to keep its secrets, so let’s aim for a ring somewhere between.
Cold World is science fiction and it’s not. It takes place 200 years in the future, in 2222, on an Earth where there is only one season: winter. Most of the seeds of science fiction I place in my version of the future are rooted in real science now, and that’s exciting for me.
Regardless of those elements, though, they’re not what the story is about.
Cold World is about family, and grief, and art, and hope, and love, and it has a lot to say about spirituality, especially for people who find themselves in a place that isn’t easily definable.
It features some of my favorite characters I have ever written, and it’s filled with action and adventure and, hopefully, some surprises and words that’ll stick with you long after you turn the last page.
I built this world to expand, and it can go backwards, forwards, and even sideways (especially sideways?!) from here. I can’t wait to hear what people think and what they want to dig further into.
Another extra special thanks to Steven for co-designing this stunning cover, and to every Kickstarter backer for making this real.
All my love. Stay cool.
See you Saturday.
