I think the Godslayer sounds a lot like Brandon Sanderson’s Steelheart and Firefight books. Then again, the recent Dredd movie was an awful lot like The Raid, but they’re both great movies. It’s tough to tell from a one sentence description though. And don’t get me wrong, I’m not accusing you of ripping Mr. Sanderson off.

Crimson Frontier sounds good. I like the sound of Code Name: Lazarus, too. It reminds me of Wolverine from the comics without the claws. Ever since I became a grown up, I felt Wolverine would be a more interesting character without the claws. They’re gross.

I’m allergic to anything YA, but those two subjects sound interesting. Drop the YA and their appeal to me rises sharply. Otherwise, Lazarus sounds good.

“Godslayer” sounds interesting to me. I think that there need to be a lot more good YA stories out there – the kind that actually make teenagers think about stuff. Plus, I love the dystopian genre.

Crimson Frontier sounds interesting, I think because you mention some of the plot and the others are more about the settings so it’s hard to judge. Otherwise I like “waterworld” settings (The Kragen, The Color of Neandethal Eyes, etc) so that could be good, too.

In reply to James Wymore. You don't see it because I want to concentrate (for a little while at least) on projects that are entirely mine, instead of anthologies and collaborations.

I don’t see Frontier Eldritch on here anywhere. Just sayin’

From these choices, I like Crimson Frontier.

Dude, you’re overflowing with great ideas. My vote would be for “Crimson Frontier,” though a fantasy western is likely to be a tough sell. But the premise seems like it ought to be quite fertile. “Godslayer” seems to be too cerebral for a YA book, no? I guess maybe I’m tacking on my own expectations for that idea. ^_^
