Kevin J. Anderson has over 16 million books in print, in 29 languages worldwide (that’s a hell of a lot of books). He is the author of The Saga of Seven Suns, numerous X-Files and Star Wars novels, and the co-author of the bestselling Dune prequels and sequels. Now he has turned his attention to epic fantasy with The Edge of the World, the first volume of the Terra Incognita series.

Here’s a taste:

After generations of friction, the leaders of two lands meet in the holy city of Ishalem to bring an end to the bloodshed and to divide the world between them. Sadly, this new spirit of fellowship is shortlived. A single tragic accident destroys, in minutes, the peace that took years to build. The world is once more cast into the fires of war – and this time the flames may burn until nothing remains. From the highest lord to the lowest servant, no man or woman will be unchanged by the conflict. But while war rages across both continents, a great quest will defy storms and sea serpents to venture beyond the horizon, where no maps exist – to search for a land out of legend. It is a perilous undertaking, but there will always be the impetuous, the brave and the mad who are willing to leave their homes to explore the unknown. Even unto the edge of the world …

Whether you’re the highest lord or the lowest servant, you could win one of three copies if you can answer the following question:

In which of these fantasy classics is the world NOT described as flat, with an edge that it’s possible to sail off:

• The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, by C.S. Lewis
• The Colour of Magic, by Terry Pratchett
• The Sword of Shannara, by Terry Brooks
