Who is Sam?

Sam Sykes is the author of Tome of the Undergates, a vast and sprawling story of adventure, demons, madness and carnage.  Suspected by many to be at least tangentially related to most causes of human suffering, Sam Sykes is also a force to be reckoned with beyond literature.

At 25, Sykes is one of the younger authors to have arrived on the stage of literary fantasy.  Tome of the Undergates will be his first book, published in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Holland and Canada.  He currently resides in the United States and is probably watching you read this right now.

The Tome Beckons

Adventurer.

The name never uttered without scorn, they are long loathed for their knowledge of nothing beyond violence and greed and their utter disregard for human life, least of all their own.

And Lenk, a young man with a sword in his hand and a voice in his head, counts them as his closest company.

Charged with retrieving the Tome of the Undergates, a written key to a world long forgotten by mankind and home to creatures determined to return, Lenk is sent after ancient evangelical demons, psychotic warrior women and abominations lost to myth.  Against them, he has but two weapons: a piece of steel and five companions as eager to kill each other as they are to help him.
