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."

The UK Release of BITTER SEEDS Will Jump Ahead 5 Months
Friday, March 30 2012, 07:20 AM

This just in from the good people at Orbit:  The UK edition of Bitter Seeds, originally scheduled for publication in December, 2012, is moving forward 5 months.  The Orbit edition of the book will now appear on shelves on July 12, 2012.

Golly.  July is going to be a busy month—that's just 5 days before the US hardcover/ebook release of The Coldest War.  (The updated publication schedule is here.)

This means that cover art will have to be finalized quite soon.  That's very exciting.  I love getting to see cover art.  I can't imagine how that could ever get old. I've seen a sketch of the concept for Bitter Seeds—it's very cool!—and we've talked a bit about cover ideas for the second and third books.  I guess cover copy will also get finalized very soon now.

This is an exciting change to the publishing schedule!  I can only hope that Marsh and Will find an audience in their own country...

I'm sorry, no. This is completely contrary to historical norms, and as such cannot be permitted.

Oh goody! - Jo Anderton, Friday, March 30 2012, 03:26 PM
That should mean we'll get it sooner too! YAY!

Tim: I'll admit, for a moment when I first got the news, I had to check my email to make sure something hadn't slipped through from a parallel universe/Bizarro-world dimension. It's sort of the opposite of my experiences so far...

Jo: I would never expect my tiny little books to show up on the radar of a multiple Aurealis Award nominee :) You have bigger fish to fry!

Although, now that I think about it a little more, I guess "opposite" isn't really the right term. I'd say this is the third of three different modes. First, there were delays. Second, things started working really well, with everything going according to schedule. And now it appears phase three is acceleration.

If there is a phase 4, I expect it will involve time travel.

LOL!

Of course, as published authors, you and I have already achieved vast fame and fortune. Right?

Re: Re: untitled - Steve Halter, Friday, March 30 2012, 11:05 PM
Right! (For some definitions of vast.)
