Neal Asher Author Biography Mark Lawrence was born in Champagne-Urbanan, Illinois, to British parents but moved to the UK at the age of one. He went back to the US after taking a PhD in mathematics at Imperial College to work on a variety of research projects including the Star Wars missile defence programme. Returning to the UK, he has worked mainly on image processing and decision/reasoning theory. He says he never had any ambition to be a writer so was very surprised when a half-hearted attempt to find an agent turned into a global publishing deal overnight. His first trilogy, The Broken Empire, has been universally acclaimed as a ground-breaking work of fantasy, and both Emperor of Thorns and The Liars Key have won the Gemmell Legend award for best fantasy novel. Mark is married, with four children, and lives in Bristol. Review An excellent writer. George R.R. MartinDark and relentless, Prince of Thorns will pull you under and drown you in story. A two in the morning page turner. Jaw-droppingRobin HobbThis is a lean, cold knife-thrust of a novel, a revenge fantasy anchored on the compelling voice and savage purpose of its titular Prince. There is never a safe moment in Lawrences debutRobert Redick, author of The Red-Wolf ConspiracyPrince of Thorns got hold of me from page one and didnt let go until I finished it on my second reading session on the second day. Theres humour here, gut-wrenching realism, high adventure, something that might be magic in the story, and certainly is in the telling of it. It was almost as if the shade of David Gemmell had returned, somewhat nastier for the experience. Thoroughly recommended.
