International bestselling author Kevin J. Anderson has created an incredible fantasy universe with sailing ships, sea monsters, and the crusades. The first novel, TERRA INCOGNITA: THE EDGE OF THE WORLD, will be in stores in June from Orbit Books.
Anderson's works have always been heavily influenced by music, especially progressive rock -- but TERRA INCOGNITA truly takes this into new territory. In a groundbreaking crossover project, Anderson developed and expanded one of the novel's storylines to form the basis of an epic rock CD from ProgRock Records, TERRA INCOGNITA: BEYOND THE HORIZON, under the band name "Roswell Six." Anderson and his wife, bestselling author Rebecca Moesta, wrote all the lyrics to the songs.
Accomplished keyboardist and composer Erik Norlander, well known for his band ROCKET SCIENTISTS as well as his solo CDs, came aboard at the beginning of the project to write the music and to helm the production chores. His wife Lana Lane, the "Queen of Symphonic Rock," provides the female lead vocals. Bassist Kurt Barabas (AMARAN'S PLIGHT) and Executive Producer Shawn Gordon from ProgRock Records round out the members of "Roswell Six" for TERRA INCOGNITA: BEYOND THE HORIZON. The CD's male vocals are by James LaBrie (DREAM THEATER), Michael Sadler (ex-SAGA), and John Payne (ASIA Featuring John Payne).
Among the accomplished musicians contributing their talents to the project are David Ragsdale (KANSAS), Gary Wehrkamp (Shadow Gallery), Chris Quirarte (Prymary) and Chris Brown (Ghost Circus), and Mike Alvarez. Together, the creative team has sold over 40 million copies worldwide.
TERRA INCOGNITA is a synergistic project unlike anything ever seen in the publishing and music business -- an original novel and original CD from the same author. Kevin J. Anderson is currently writing the second novel in the epic TERRA INCOGNITA trilogy, THE MAP OF ALL THINGS.

Terra Incognita: Beyond The Horizon
For his new fantasy series, "Terra Incognita," bestselling author Kevin J. Anderson created an incredible fantasy universe with sailing ships, sea monsters, a clash of religions, and a love that will reach to the edge of the world.
After the sacred city of Ishalem burns to the ground, a holy war breaks out between the world's two major religions. But this is also a time of exploration and discovery. The young sailor Criston Vora (sung by Michael Sadler) feels the call of the sea and signs aboard the Luminara, a sailing ship that will explore beyond the horizon. After listening to Captain Shay (John Payne) tell glorious stories about the wonders of the world, he says goodbye to his wife Adrea (Lana Lane), promising to return home. Meanwhile, Soldan-Shah Omra (James LaBrie) follows the drive for vengeance demanded of his faith and raids 'enemy' villages. He captures Adrea, taking her away with him…while Criston himself survives sea monster attacks and the sinking of the Luminara. The two lovers, swept apart, must cling to their love and try to find each other.
Each of the 13 tracks, including two major instrumentals, stand alone; they are snapshots of the epic story, with connective prose written by Anderson. This project -- novel and CD written by the same author -- is a unique musical experience. Read the novel. Listen to the music.
