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."
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

Oh, I do love some crazy wacky conspiracy theories. The crazier the better.
And they don't come any crazier than "the world is secretly controlled by shape-changing lizards from inside the hollow earth".
Oh, sure it sounds insane.... Or, is it so sane that your head is spinning like a top?!?
Just consider the evidence: "The Illuminati cover up their reptilian nature with a human disguise."
You better believe they do. Our secret masters are totally putting on the human suits. All the time.

Way back when, at the bookstore, I was the guy in charge of keeping David Icke's books stocked up.
People who came in asking for those books always scrutinized my face very carefully. I thought they were just intense. Then I realized they were checking for reptilian slit pupils.
I sold a lot of Icke's books. But those contact lenses were always uncomfortable to wear.

The thing is, they can't hide their eyeballs and that's what gives them away on TV. That's not some MPEG artifact of low-quality video compression, no sir. It started as a conspiracy hypothesis, but with more evidence it's become a bona fide conspiracy theory. And now it's only one or two more Youtube videos from snowballing into a conspiracy law.

I think this points us to another internet rule:
53. There is a conspiracy about it, no exceptions.

Adrienne-- if you need any work done, I know a guy. I mean, a human. Not an lizard. I know a human who works on those things.
Scott-- I'm actually kind of jealous. I've never met an Icke adherent in the flesh! I'd have guessed they're all a little intense, all the time.
Terry-- When you return to your subterranean lair, be sure to say Hi to the lavamen for me...
Richard-- It's true that Isaac Newton first published the Principia Mathematica as a series of viral videos on YouTube.
Steve-- If there wasn't a conspiracy about something, that would suggest a conspiracy to cover up the conspiracy.
