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

Huh. I thought this was coming out in early May.
But, according to several online retailers, the mmpb edition of Bitter Seeds is now available!
This is the US paperback edition, from Tor. It includes the first chapter of The Coldest War, as well as the short story, "What Doctor Gottlieb Saw." This edition is wrapped in fantastic artwork by Chris McGrath, a piece of artwork I like to call, "Do Not Make Eye Contact With the Sociopathic Clairvoyant Woman." (I doubt that's what Chris calls it.)
This is distinct from the Orbit UK edition, which will come out on July 12. (The full schedule, as best as I know it at the moment, is available here.) That edition will also contain extra material, including an interview.
I'm giving away 3 copies. For free! More details below the cut.
Over on Goodreads, I'm giving away 3 copies of this freshly released mmpb of Bitter Seeds. I did something similar when the hardcover came out. Did I mention these are free books?
Currently the giveaway is only open to people in the US. I'm sorry about that. But I don't want to be perceived as undercutting my publisher in the UK -- Orbit has been very enthusiastic about the Milkweed books and a big supporter. They have already moved the UK release of Bitter Seeds forward from December to this July.

You are a prince among men, Andrew! May the sun shine on you every day of your life (except in cases when you have sunburn).
He's working on the cover for the third book now. I'm excited to see what McGrath does there.

The July date for The Coldest War ebook could turn out well for it. It should be amoung the first new ebooks out under Tor's DRM free policy--might be more eyes than usual checking out Tor titles right then. Synchronicity is good.

Hey, good point, Steve. I hadn't even considered that. But you're right-- it can only help. Synchronicity can be our friend at times.

Wow! Thank you *very* much for the field report, Dawn. Knowing people have seen it in the wild somehow makes it much more real. I'm looking forward to seeing a copy myself. Thanks for the encouraging words on the cover, too. I like it a lot.

I'd enter the drawing, but I won a copy already on Pat's Fantasy List and I don't want to appear greedy. (greedier..) Eager to buy the next one.

Congratulations on winning Pat's giveaway -- it was very cool of him to do that. I sincerely hope the book proved worthy of the money you paid for it!
And, if you read the next one, I hope you enjoy that one, too.
