Second to last F. Paul Wilson's book...

FPW is one of my favourite authors, ever. If you just count those who are alive tomorrow, he's definitely in top 3. 

The Keep was one of those books that defined fantasy to me. And then I discovered Repairman Jack, and the idea of an urban mercenary who is forced to fight the unnamed horrors from the pages of Secret History of the world was cool. And there were bits of real life in the stories that made them better - the dirty secrets of modern "psychics" and cults. 

The Upwelling is the penultimate book that he had written. 

The last one should come out this autumn. 

It's like those tales about master swordsmiths who create their finest blades before retiring forever. The Hidden duology is F. Paul Wilson's last. 

It might turn out to be his finest. 

Anyways, you can now buy The Upwelling, first book of The Hidden. 

And keep your eyes open for the second book, Lexie. 

Thinking of more LotFP-compatible stuff...

Fact: Ursula Le Guin was one of the great ones. That goes without saying. 

Fact: Le Guin's magic in Earthsea is cool. It is very non-Vancian mechanically (in the D&D fire-and-forget meaning), but also very Vancian in the mood (wizard of the Dying Earth desperately try to recover lost spells, out of which only about a hundred are still known; wizards of Earthsea spend years finding out a single word of True Speech - not that I think of it, "The Dying Earthsea" sounds like a good adventure title). A wizard talks to the world in the language of creation, and the world listens. 

Which is why I'm now working on a tribute adventure, with a new class and magic and probably a magic item or two and all that jazz. 

And it's probably going to be somewhat like silver bestseller All Dogs Go To Hell which you can buy here, and the magic items are probably going to be along the line of Magic Item Collection and Generator which you can also buy here. It's a little something that I like to call creative style.
