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

It's been a very long day, so here's a random photo from my iPhoto library.
I took this photo of the Sydney Opera House last September.
From New Zealand.*
Using a very large lens.**
The Sydney Opera House is a truly magnificent building. I've always thought it was a striking thing, and that was just from photographs and postcards. But it's much larger than I had anticipated (after all, on postcards it looks to be about the size of my thumb), and I had no idea it had such a funky mosaic texture.
(*This is a lie.)
(**This is also a lie.)

Um, kinda looks like the new Kauffman Performing Arts Center in Kansas City. But you weren't here for the con this year, and you were Down Under, so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. I mean, you did misspeak, so mabye ... nah.
Nice photo. Maybe you should give up your day job.

It really is the Sydney Opera House. I as there too, and we even saw a performance of Rigoletto which was magnificent.

OK, I'm glad he wasn't exposed as s fraud. He's developing a good eye big lens or no. Sounds like the beauty of the opera sent a shutter up your spine. Changing your focus probably let you stop harboring any doubts about the Sydney opera being just a flash in the pan.
