Tiktokowy fenomen i bestseller wykraczający poza ramy gatunku!

Wysoka fantasy, niskie stawki. Z podwójną porcją kawy!

Znużona dziesięcioleciami walk, krwawymi wyprawami i nieustannymi awanturami orczyca Viv uznaje, że nadeszła pora zawiesić miecz na kołku. Chce zrealizować swoje marzenie – zamierza otworzyć pierwszą kawiarnię w mieście Thune. Mimo że nikt tam nie ma bladego pojęcia, czym jest kawa…

Jednak na tym zupełnie nowym, nieznanym szlaku nawet najdzielniejsza z wojowniczek nie poradzi sobie sama. Na drodze do sukcesu Viv stają jej rywale – dawni i nowi. Mroczne podziemie Thune może sprawić, że orczycy łatwo będzie znów chwycić za miecz, a przecież obiecała sobie, że więcej tego nie zrobi.

Dlatego właśnie, jak mawia stare porzekadło, przed wyruszeniem w drogę należy zebrać drużynę. A jej członkowie mogą nadejść z najmniej oczekiwanych kierunków. Nieważne, czy ściągnie ich pradawna magia, smakowite słodkości czy też świeżo zaparzona kawa – staną się dla Viv bardziej nieodzowni, niż sobie wyobrażała. Bo prawdziwą nagrodą w wędrówce są ci, których spotykamy po drodze.

New Audiobook Edition of THIS IMMORTAL Out Now!

Posted on Tuesday, March 7th, 2023

THIS IMMORTAL, Roger Zelazny‘s acclaimed first novel, is now available in a new audiobook edition! Published by Tantor Media, and read by Peter Berkrot, here’s the synopsis…

Conrad Nomikos has a long, rich personal history that he’d rather not talk about. And, as Arts Commissioner, he’s been given a job he’d rather not do. Escorting an alien grandee on a guided tour of the shattered remains of Earth is not something he relishes — especially when it is apparent that this places him at the center of high-level intrigue that has some bearing on the future of Earth itself!

First published in 1966, THIS IMMORTAL went on to win the Hugo Award for Best Novel, the Geffen Award for best SF Book, and also Japan’s Seiun Award for Best Foreign Novel.

Coming Soon: BOOKSHOPS & BONEDUST by Travis Baldree!

Posted on Monday, March 6th, 2023

You may have noticed that the North American cover for BOOKSHOPS & BONEDUST, Travis Baldree‘s highly-anticipated follow-up to the smash-hit LEGENDS & LATTES, was revealed earlier today! The cover is by Carson Lowmiller, and the novel is due to be published in North America by Tor Books on November 7th. Here’s the synopsis…

A journey of high fantasy, first loves, and second-hand books.

Viv’s career with the notorious mercenary company Rackam’s Ravens isn’t going as planned.

Wounded during the hunt for a powerful necromancer, she’s packed off against her will to recuperate in the sleepy beach town of Murk—so far from the action that she worries she’ll never be able to return to it.

What’s a thwarted soldier of fortune to do?

Spending her hours at a beleaguered bookshop in the company of its foul-mouthed proprietor is the last thing Viv would have predicted, but it may be both exactly what she needs and the seed of changes she couldn’t possibly imagine.

Still, adventure isn’t all that far away. A suspicious traveler in gray, a gnome with a chip on her shoulder, a summer fling, and an improbable number of skeletons prove Murk to be more eventful than Viv could have ever expected.

The novel will also be published in the UK by Tor Books — we’ll share the cover and release date as soon as we have them confirmed.

You may have spotted, via social media, that ARCs of the novel have already gone out to select reviewers and other authors, and praise has been both quick and considerable!

New Russian Edition of Zelazny’s JACK OF SHADOWS

Posted on Friday, March 3rd, 2023

We’re happy to report that Эксмо has published a new Roger Zelazny illustrated omnibus: Джек из Тени. Полное издание collects JACK OF SHADOWS, SHADOWLAND and Shadowjack stories.

Translated by Goldich Vladimir Anatolyevich and Obruchev Vladimir Arkadievich, here’s the synopsis…

Этот мир поделен на Светлую и Темную стороны, в одной из которых царят вечные день и наука, а в другой — ночь и колдовство. Но есть еще Сумеречные земли, родина легендарного неуловимого вора Джека из Тени. Говорят, именно из теней он черпает свою магическую силу. Говорят, у него несколько жизней, но нет души. Говорят, он был обвинен в еще не совершенном преступлении и несправедливо наказан. Теперь у него нет друзей, кроме проклятого темного ангела по имени Утренняя Звезда, и нет другой цели, кроме мести. Мести, которая может обрушить небеса и уничтожить мир.

«Джек из Тени» — одна из самых глубоких и загадочных книг мастера фэнтези Роджера Желязны, заслужившая свое место на полке рядом с шедеврами воображения Борхеса, Кафки и Братьев Стругацких.

Роман публикуется в новом переводе и снабжен дополнительными материалами: рядом предисловий, эссе и новеллой о Джеке из Тени.

First published in 1971, JACK OF SHADOWS was a Hugo and Locus Award nominee for Best Novel. Here’s the English-language synopsis…

The Earth no longer rotates. Sciences rule the dayside of the globe, Magic rules the World of Night. And Jack of Shadows, Shadowjack the Thief, who broke the Compact and duped the Lord of High Dudgeon; who was beheaded in Iglés and rose again from the Dung Pits of Glyve; who drank the blood of a vampire and swallowed a stone — Shadowjack walks in silence and in shadows to seek vengeance on his enemies.

Who are his foes? All who would despise him or love the Lord of Bats: Smage of the Jackass Ears, the Colonel Who Never Died, the Borshin, and Quazer, winner of the Hellgames and abductor of the voluptuous Evene. One by one, Shadowjack would seek them out and have his revenge, building his power as he goes.

And once his vengeance is obtained, he would come to terms with all others who are against him, he would unite the World of High Dudgeon, destroy the Land of Filth, and bring peace to the Shadowguard. But to accomplish all, Jack of Shadows must find Kolwynia, the Key That Was Lost…

Three Classic Tidhar Novellas Out Now in New eBook Editions!

Posted on Wednesday, March 1st, 2023

New eBook editions of three of Lavie Tidhar‘s classic novellas are available again in the UK and North America! Each is published by JABberwocky, and the details are as follows…

MARTIAN SANDS…

1941: an hour before the attack on Pearl Harbour, a man from the future materialises in President Roosevelt’s office. His offer of military aid may cut the War and its pending atrocities short, and alter the course of the future…The future: welcome to Mars, where the lives of three ordinary people become entwined in one dingy smokesbar the moment an assassin opens fire. The target: the mysterious Bill Glimmung. But is Glimmung even real? The truth might just be found in the remote FDR Mountains, an empty place, apparently of no significance, but where digital intelligences may be about to bring to fruition a long-held dream of the stars… Mixing mystery and science fiction, the Holocaust and the Mars of both Edgar Rice Burroughs and Philip K. Dick, Martian Sands is a story of both the past and future, of hope, and love, and of finding meaning — no matter where — or when — you are.

CLOUD PERMUTATIONS…

The world of Heven was populated, centuries ago, by Melanesian settlers from distant Earth. It is a peaceful, quiet world — yet it harbours ancient secrets. Kal just wants to fly. But flying is the one thing forbidden on Heven — a world dominated by the mysterious, ever present clouds in the skies. What do they hide? For Kal, finding the answer might mean his death — but how far will you go to realise your dreams? Set against the breathtaking vista of a world filled with mystery and magic, Cloud Permutations is a planetary romance with a unique South Pacific flavour, filled with mythic monsters, ancient alien artefacts, floating islands and a quest to find a legendary tower… whatever the cost.

GOREL AND THE POT-BELLIED GOD…

A legend tells of the Mirror of Falang-Et: a magical object in the city of the frog tribes, which can tell all manner of truths… There is only one truth Gorel of Goliris – gunslinger, addict, touched by the Black Kiss – is interested in: finding a way back home, to the great empire from which he had been stolen as a child and from which he had been flung, by sorcery, far across the World. It started out simple: get to Falang-Et, find the mirror, find what truth it may hold. But nothing is simple for Gorel of Goliris… When Gorel forms an uneasy alliance – and ménage à trois – with an Avian spy and a half-Merlangai thief, things only start to get complicated. Add a murdered merchant, the deadly Mothers of the House of Jade, the rivalry of gods and the machinations of a rising Dark Lord bent on conquest, and things start to get out of hand. Only one thing’s for sure: by the time this is over, there will be blood. Not to mention sex and drugs… or guns and sorcery.

Lavie’s latest novel is the highly-acclaimed MAROR, which is out now — published by Head of Zeus.

ICYMI: New eBook Edition of James P. Blaylock’s PENNIES FROM HEAVEN Out Now!

Posted on Tuesday, February 28th, 2023

In case you missed it, a new eBook edition of PENNIES FROM HEAVEN by James P. Blaylock is out now! Published by JABberwocky in the UK and North America, here’s the synopsis…

Jerry Larkin discovers an age-old secret buried beneath the foundation of the house that he and his wife Jane, an avid reader of ghost stories, bought six months ago in the idyllic town of Old Orange in southern California.

Jane Larkin, whose MacArthur grant led to the creation of public gardens and a farmers market in the town’s central park, works against time to save what she has built as a 100-year storm moves in off the coast.

Lettie Phibbs, a strange librarian whose Antiquity Center holds the secrets to the hidden history of Old Orange, inserts herself into the Larkins’ lives, growing increasingly eccentric and menacing, as unpredictable as the storm itself.

PENNIES FROM HEAVEN, a six-day mystery, tells the tale of a small town haunted by the reanimated ghosts of a buried past, a story that reaches a terrifying crescendo of murder and intrigue in a high-paced rush toward fate and redemption.

The novel is also available in a signed, limited edition from PS Publishing, as well as in a UK trade paperback edition.

Blaylock is one of the fathers of Steampunk, and the acclaimed author of (among others) the Langdon St. Ives Adventures, published by Titan Books and JABberwocky (novellas, short story collections).

Aliette de Bodard’s SEVEN OF INFINITIES Audiobook Edition Out Now!

Posted on Monday, February 27th, 2023

We’re very happy to report that the audiobook edition of Aliette de Bodard‘s acclaimed SEVEN OF INFINITIES is out now! Published by Tantor, and narrated by Emily Woo Zeller, here’s the synopsis…

Vân is a scholar from a poor background, eking out a living in the orbitals of the Scattered Pearls Belt as a tutor to a rich family, while hiding the illegal artificial mem-implant she manufactured as a student.

Sunless Woods is a mindship — and not just any mindship, but a notorious thief and a master of disguise. She’s come to the Belt to retire, but is drawn to Vân’s resolute integrity.

When a mysterious corpse is found in the quarters of Vân’s student, Vân and Sunless Woods find themselves following a trail of greed and murder that will lead them from teahouses and ascetic havens to the wreck of a mindship — and to the devastating secrets they’ve kept from each other.

The novella is also available in North America from Subterranean Press (hardcover and eBook) and also more widely via JABberwocky (eBook and print).

Here are just a few of the great reviews the book has received…

‘With this lush, immersive sci-fi tale, de Bodard (The House of Sundering Flames) delves into a world as gritty as it is ethereal… De Bodard hints at a vast, fully realized world… readers will be swept away by the vivid prose, intrigue, and romance of this intricate tale. This fascinating, unusual story is sure to entrance.’ — Publishers Weekly

‘A magnificent sf mystery, nuanced, intense, and romantic, with a complex, clever plot nested inside de Bodard’s rich, evocative, and vivid Xuya universe.’ — Kate Elliott

‘Aliette de Bodard is an author whose works I both like (in several cases, the word adore may be more appropriate) and admire… De Bodard’s work is marked by precision and delicacy of prose, by a concern with ethics and relationships, and by the presence of uncaring systems that violently resist critique from without – and even from within… SEVEN OF INFINITIES is a novella concerned with forgiveness, deserved or not, about cages, self-made or otherwise. It concerns itself with growth, with grace, with ruthlessness and its costs and consequences. It’s a tightly written jewel of a story, intense and full of feeling, and I recommend it highly.’ — Locus (Liz Bourke)

‘While SEVEN OF INFINITIES is a perfectly satisfactory mystery, with ingratiating characters and clever puzzles, its main appeal comes from de Bodard’s seamless weaving together of three wildly diverse frames of reference: the structure of a romantic mystery, the far-future space opera-like setting, and the culture of formality and tradition derived from its Vietnamese and Chinese ancestry (the title, for example, refers to a tile from an ancient gaming tradition). In SF terms, de Bodard’s Xuya Universe – a far future descended from an alternate past – is a pretty impressive imaginative construct by itself, but as she demonstrates with stories like this, it’s also a way of rethinking and sometimes reinventing familiar formulas, of defamiliarizing the familiar through the lens of different cultures and histories. But mostly, it’s a lot of fun.’ — Locus (Gary K. Wolfe)

‘… the intricate plot is really the star of this tale… a completely engrossing tale that stretches my imagination. It’s one of the best stories she’s written yet.’ — Fantasy Literature

Aliette’s latest novel is the highly-acclaimed THE RED SCHOLAR’S WAKE — published by Gollancz in the UK and JABberwocky in North America.

New Paperback Cover for Vincent Tirado’s BURN DOWN, RISE UP!

Posted on Friday, February 24th, 2023

The paperback edition of Vincent Tirado‘s BURN DOWN, RISE UP is getting a creepy new cover! Due to be published by Sourcebooks Fire on May 4th, here’s the synopsis…

Mysterious disappearances. An urban legend rumored to be responsible. And one group of friends determined to save their city at any cost. Stranger Things meets Jordan Peele in this utterly original debut from an incredible new voice.

For over a year, the Bronx has been plagued by sudden disappearances that no one can explain. Sixteen-year-old Raquel does her best to ignore it. After all, the police only look for the white kids. But when her crush Charlize’s cousin goes missing, Raquel starts to pay attention-especially when her own mom comes down with a mysterious illness that seems linked to the disappearances.

Raquel and Charlize team up to investigate, but they soon discover that everything is tied to a terrifying urban legend called the Echo Game. The game is rumored to trap people in a sinister world underneath the city, and the rules are based on a particularly dark chapter in New York’s past. And if the friends want to save their home and everyone they love, they will have to play the game and destroy the evil at its heart-or die trying.

Tirado’s next novel is WE DON’T SWIM HERE, due out in May, also via Sourcebooks Fire.

Here are just a few of the reviews BURN DOWN, RISE UP has received…

‘A speculative horror that blends elements of horror with a history of gentrification and systemic racism.’ – Publishers Weekly

‘Tirado’s unsettling debut is a love letter to the Bronx and the community that makes it. The perfect pick for horror lovers still looking for a light at the end of the tunnel.’ – Booklist

A MATTER OF DEATH AND LIFE Paperback Edition Out Now in the UK!

Posted on Thursday, February 23rd, 2023

The UK paperback edition of Simon R. Green‘s A MATTER OF DEATH AND LIFE is out today! Published by Severn House, it’s the third novel in the author’s Gideon Sable series. Here’s the synopsis…

Master thief, rogue and chancer Gideon Sable is back for another fast-paced supernatural heist – and this time he has the vault of a Las Vegas casino in his sights.

Judi Rifkin is one of the world’s most successful collectors of the weird and unnatural. In a London underworld filled with criminals with very special talents, Judi is a force to be reckoned with.

And Gideon Sable – thief, rogue and chancer – owes her a very large favour.

Judi makes him an offer he can’t refuse: steal her the legendary Masque of Ra, kept safe in a Las Vegas casino, and she’ll wipe the slate clean.

This isn’t Gideon’s first heist by a long shot. But with old grudges threatening to cloud his judgment, an unpredictable crew who don’t entirely trust each other and a formidable supernatural security team guarding his target, this job might be a gamble too far…

The North American edition of the paperback is due to be published on April 25th, 2023.

‘It’s a wonderfully imagined setting, which will be no surprise for those familiar with Green’s oeuvre. The Sable novels make perfect fare for fans of urban fantasy, thrillers, or caper novels (or, especially, blends of all three).’ — Booklist

Severn House also publishes the two other novels in the series — THE BEST THING YOU CAN STEAL (#1) and WHAT SONG THE SIRENS SANG (#3) — and are due to publish the fourth book, NOT OF THIS WORLD, in April 2023.
