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

Jenn Brozek, our fearless leader on the Human for a Day anthology, has posted cover art for the upcoming anthology, as well as the table of contents.  Hooray!  And check out that cover-- is that great or what?

Jenn co-edited the anthology with the late, great Martin Greenberg, the legendary anthologist who passed away just recently.

Six months ago, I posted a little bit about my contribution to the anthology, "The Mainspring of His Heart, the Shackles of His Soul."  I'm delighted to see it listed among works from so many excellent writers.  Of the stuff I've written (relatively) recently, I like this story a fair bit.  I hope to return to the world of the story someday, and flesh out the backstory in a novel.  There's definitely room for it.

This is my second contribution to a DAW anthology.  I've been lucky to have the chance to participate in both of these ventures, and even luckier to find the work so much fun.  Both times I've worried that I wouldn't come up with anything decent that fit the theme of the anthology.  Both times I was surprised (and relieved) to find a story come along without too much pain.

I met Jenn and her husband at the gate at LAX, where we waited to catch our flight from Los Angeles to Melbourne for Worldcon last year.  (Holy cats!  Was that already almost a year ago?  Wow.)  Networking works.  Or, in this case, just being really really lucky.

That is a cool cover. The clock for the eye is a nice effect.
