Updated the highest investment in Kickstarter, a new project of Brandon Sandershan in "Sanbai Sora"

Four "Mistbourne" series and Fantasy science fiction writer Brandon Sandersun, known for taking over the "Wheels of Time" after the death of Robert Jordan, will be released every quarter.The SECRET BOOK's publishing funding funded for $ 1 million (about 115 million yen) was launched on Kickstarter, which was a great success in just 35 minutes.

The crowdfunding campaign period has been gathering in the early stages of 30 days, exceeding $ 25 million (about 2.9 billion yen) at the time of writing.The most successful example in Kickstarter was about $ 20.34 million, which was hit by the 2015 electronic paper -type smartwatch "PEBBLE TIME", but it has also shown the explosive explosion in a few days.

Mr. Sandasun was a writer who was successful and gained high praise, and he had been able to expect the success of crowdfunding.Even so, it may be said that the great success was such that it was a group of works that set the world called "Cosmere" as a common stage, and has built a strong fan base.Three of the four works of "Secret Book" are set in the Sansai Sora, and will be written on different planets.

Mr. Sandersin told New York Times that the Kickstarter project was launched to "confirm what would be an Amazon challenge."Amazon is substantially dominated by both publications and e -books, and 80%of Sandasun's sales are from Amazon.However, Sandasun's view is that its monopoly is not really good for Amazon and the market."If there is no competition, innovation will not be born," said the science fiction writer.

SECRET BOOK applicants must invest in $ 40 in the form of e -books and $ 60 for audiobooks.The four works will be released in January, April, July and October, respectively.Currently, Sandasun's website has an excerpt from the first book.YouTube also has a video of Sandersin reading the first part of the four books.

By the way, the "Wheels of Time" series has been dramatic as "Wheel of Time" in Amazon Prime Video, and Season 1 has started distribution in November 2021.
