Praise for the
Milkweed Triptych
"A major talent... I can't wait to see more."
—George R. R. Martin
"Mad English warlocks battling twisted Nazi psychics? Yes please, thank you. Tregillis's debut has a white-knuckle plot, beautiful descriptions, and complex characters-- an unstoppable Vickers of a novel."
Cory Doctorow on Bitter Seeds
"Ian Tregillis triumphantly concludes his astonishing, brilliant, pulse-pounding debut trilogy, The Milkweed Triptych."
Cory Doctorow on Necessary Evil
"Tregillis' conclusion of the Milkweed Triptych is the pièce de résistance of the series. Necessary Evil is a perfect marriage of science fiction, fantasy and alternate history."
RT Book Reviews (4.5 stars, Top Pick) on Necessary Evil
"Darkly fascinating…A thoroughly fascinating conclusion to an imaginative tour de force."
Kirkus on Necessary Evil
"A cross between the devious, character-driven spy fiction of early John le Carré and the mad science fantasy of the X-Men... Despite the jaw-dropping backdrop and oblique plotting, the narrative is driven by character and personal circumstance...
Grim indeed, yet eloquent and utterly compelling."
—Kirkus on The Coldest War
"The characters come alive via [Tregillis's] imaginative dialogue and his storyline will keep readers spellbound and on the edge of their seats with an intense sci-fi/alternate history thriller plot."
RT Book Reviews (4.5 stars, Top Pick) on The Coldest War
"Well-drawn characters and a feel for time and place make this an excellent journey into an alternate Britain."
—Library Journal on Bitter Seeds
"Engrossing... Tregillis ably mixes cold war paranoia with his mythology."
Publishers Weekly on The Coldest War

Keep an Eye on That Tregillis Fellow (Before He Steals Your Silverware)
Saturday, February 27 2010, 05:16 PM

The publication date for my debut novel is six weeks out, but I've been very pleasantly surprised, and honored, by some of the buzz generated around Bitter Seeds.

Over at Stomping on Yeti, the venerable stomper of yetis has included me in his list of 25 Authors Worth Watching in 2010 and Beyond.  I'm simply blown away, and more than a little humbled, to see my name listed alongside such incredible writers as Greg van Eekhout, Rachel Swirsky, Leah Bobet, Jack Skillingstead, Theodora Goss, Mary Robinette Kowal, Aliette de Bodard, and Beth Bernobich, just to name a few.  I can only hope that I earn a spot alongside them someday.  But who am I to argue?  He stomps on yetis, people!  And that's not something I want to mess with.

Stomping on Yeti has been following up the original list with in-depth looks at each of the 25 authors.  I was included in the second spotlight, number 2 of 5.

Bitter Seeds also made it into Simply the Best's weekly roundup for February 27, under a book recommendation from Daniel Abraham.  Hooray!

Thanks to Daniel for the world-class pimpage!  You rule.

And, as a reminder, I've posted a list of online retailers where Bitter Seeds can be preordered.

Congratulations! That's great news! Can't wait to read Bitter Seeds! To think I knew you when you were just a humble astrophysicist who just happened to fight intergalactic crime and injustice in his spare time on weekends. Any way you can come out to Jersey for abook signing? I promise you some great homemade Italian food if you do. Congratulations my friend!

Thanks, Mark! Wow, to think that my very own website received a visit from the Don himself...

I expect to be out in Jersey in mid-May for a workshop as part of my day job. I hope to see you and Mary and Mark Falzini while I'm out there.
