The new issue of the very shiny Sci-Fi Now (no#25 – available via subscription here at at your local W H Smiths!) carries a fabulous review of Mike Cobley‘s equally shiny new Space Opera SEEDS OF EARTH, published by Orbit.
‘In this first installment of the Humanity’s Fire saga, Michael Cobley has really nailed his colours to the mast. The story is huge, complex and moves between its varied cast with assured purpose…a tightly plotted, action packed epic that leaves you wanting more.‘

There’s a review of Mike Cobley‘s forthcoming novel, Seeds of Earth just gone up on the Concept Sci-fi Ezine site. The book is due out in March 2009 from Orbit Books.
‘…incredibly well thought out, with a comprehensive social and political system that is totally believable and incredibly detailed. [Cobley]‘s clearly paid a lot of attention to backstory and really should be congratulated for the amount of effort he’s put in to this...’

Michael Cobley‘s fantastic new Space Opera, Seeds of Earth – the first in his Humanity’s Fire sequence is due out from Orbit in March.
We’ve just received a cover proof which shows off a very cool quote from none other than Mister Iain M. Banks – author of The Culture novels and writer who knows a thing or two about Space Opera, given that he’s written some of the very best example of the genre! Of Mikes new book he says…
“Proper Galaxy-spinning space opera with lots of weird aliens, secret ancient technologies and mysterious hyper-weapons – a worthy addition to the genre.“
… and he should know!

Michael Cobley, whose forthcoming novel Seeds of Earth will be a highlight of Orbit‘s schedule for the first quarter of the coming year, has written a piece for the Fantasy Book Critic web site detailing his pick of this year and his tips for the next. And on the horizon for Mike…
“Seeds Of Earth, the first part of my Humanity’s Fire space opera trilogy, steps fully-fledged onto the world stage in early March. I hope to be doing a reading or two in Glasgow and Edinburgh, and there will also be the odd competition for goodies and so forth. Eastercon, the UK national SF convention, takes place in Bradford from April 10th to the 13th, and I shall be there, saying hello, signing anything that’ll stay put long enough, and going in search of The Perfect Curry! Also in March, I’ll be submitting volume 2, The Orphaned Worlds, before diving headlong into the final part, The Ascendant Stars.“
