Britain has a large following for fantasy novelists like Tom Arden, the author of the five-volume OROKON sequence, comprising The Harlequin’s Dance (1997), The King and Queen of Swords (1998), Sultan of the Moon and Stars (1999), Sisterhood of the Blue Storm (2000) and Empress of the Endless Dream (2001).

Fantasy epics and science fiction novels have been variously described as “grotesque,” “marvellously camp,” “a sprawling baroque tapestry,” and “a feverish cross between Georgette Heyer and Mervyn Peake.”

Several organizations like the British Fantasy Society and British Science Fiction Association have been promoting the very popular genre of sf in the UK and elsewhere, through discussion forums, awards, magazines and writers’ groups.

We intend that tomarden.com serves you as a useful source for news and views emanating from the fantastic world of sf.
