Last year bestselling author
Kevin J. Anderson and ProgRock Records introduced Terra Incognita: An innovative crossover project of fantasy on a grand scale-- an epic novel and companion progressive-rock CD. Following up the success of the first effort, Anderson and ProgRock Records bring you the second Terra Incognita CD, "A Line in the Sand" to coincide with the release of the second novel, THE MAP OF ALL THINGS. Featuring a different, grittier part of the story, focusing on the devastating generations-long war between continents, and it has an entirely different sound.
This time, the music is helmed by Henning Pauly (
