Here’s a couple of pretties for fans of Michael Cobley‘s Humanity’s Fire books…

Bragelonne have just published the French translation of book one under the title L’OMBRE DE LA LONGUE NUIT.
And for German readers, WAISEN DES ALLS, the translation of the second novel in the series now available from Heyne.

Audible have acquired world English Audio rights for Ian R. MacLeod’s 2009 Arthur C. Clark Award winning novel SONG OF TIME. Originally published as a limited edition by PS Publishing, SONG OF TIME was described by Paul Billinger, chair of the Clarke judges as ‘… a rich and subtle novel that couples themes of memory and identity with well crafted and all too human characters.‘

Audible have also acquired world rights to Michael Cobley‘s epic Space Opera series HUMANITIES FIRE, comprising SEEDS OF EARTH, ORPHANED WORDS and THE ASCENDANT STARS. Published in the UK by Orbit and in Germany by Heyne, this series has been widely acclaimed by reviewers and reader alike.

No word yet as to who will narrate either of these acquisitions nor on when we can expect their release, but we’ll let you know as and when we’re told.

We just got a graphic in showing the German cover of Michael Cobley‘s SEEDS OF EARTH, or, to be accurate, DIE SAAT DER ERDE, due to be published by Heyne in August 2010.

Shiny spaceships!

And here’s a link to a recent review over at NextRead for SEEDS OF EARTH.

‘A great first attempt… Cobley has a strong confident voice with a intriguing and different tale to tell. I’m wondering what layers he’s going to peel back in THE ORPHANED WORLDS.’
