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

Richard, the uber-talented web designer who built this site, has just won two 2008 W3 Silver Awards for his work on behalf of little ol' me: one in the category of Best Visual Appeal, and another in the Entertainment category. Congratulations, Richard! I do believe I speak on behalf of the internet when I say that you rock, sir.
The W3 awards are a major accolade. (And did I mention Richard won two?) Here's what he has to say about the awards.

Check out the list of winners. 3232 Design is listed alongside some of the largest names in the biz. Which is, you know, pretty damn cool.

And of course I'd be lying if I said that my joy was entirely altruistic. Richard went above-and-beyond the call of duty at every step of the process of designing, building, and launching this website. The result has been a web presence that makes me proud, that stands out, and that people just plain enjoy. Which, for a fledgling novelist still in the early days of his professional writing career, is a huge deal.

This marks the fourth time this website has been recognized since its launch at the end of February. We've been an Adobe Site of the Day (April 18, 2008); the wallpaper based on this site was selected as a Daily Deviation at deviantART (April 6, 2008); and we were a Cool Home Pages winner, too. Hooray, us!

And thanks, Richard, for your amazing work on my behalf. The check is in the mail.

Fun Fact of the Day: The Nobel Prize for Web Design is known colloquially as the "Webby", because Alfred Nobel had webbed fingers.

Writers say the nicest things - richard, Friday, October 17 2008, 07:19 PM
I'd like to thank my fan, family and friend. I couldn't have done it without you.

I hope you understand that when I say the check is in the mail, I mean that as a metaphorical check, drawn on the bank of respect and gratitude. Not, you know, an actual check worth money.

Congratulations, Richard! That is wonderful. Ian's site is absolutely beautiful. I've had mine redesigned (partly because it hadn't changed in almost three years, and partly because it was so blah compared to this amazing site.)

I think you both rock.
