MAN OF EARTH by Algis Budrys Out Now in Italy!

Posted on Monday, April 21st, 2025

Very happy to report that MAN OF EARTH, one of Algis Budrys‘s classic sci-fi novels, is available in a new Italian edition! Published by Urania, as PIANETA DIFFICILE, here’s the synopsis…

La Terra, dopo un periodo di espansione nel sistema solare, con colonie su Venere e Plutone, sta vivendo una nuova chiusura, abbandonando i viaggi spaziali. Ma quando un uomo d’affari, Allen Sibley, deve sfuggire alla legge, si rivolge alla Doncaster Corporation, capace di trovare sempre una via d’uscita, soluzioni ingegnose per qualsiasi problema che non lasciano tracce né strascichi sulla Terra. Certo il prezzo è un po’ alto, ma nessuno dei clienti che si sono rivolti alla Doncaster è mai tornato a reclamare. Mai.

MAN OF EARTH was first published in 1958. It is available in the UK, published through Gollancz’s Gateway program. Here’s the English-language synopiss…

Allen Sibley was a frightened little man — frightened for his life. In the corrupt, swindling world of cutthroat big business in which he was an important and pseudo-respectable figure, Allen Sibley had made the unforgivable error — he had found out. And worse, someone had known this would happen, someone who waited quietly to collect Allen Sibley’s entire fortune in exchange for a gamble — but it was the only gamble which might save Sibley his life!

Andrew Cartmel’s UNDERSCORE is Out Now!

Posted on Tuesday, April 15th, 2025

UNDERSCORE, the highly-anticipated eighth Vinyl Detective novel by Andrew Cartmel is out today! Published by Titan Books in the UK and North America, here’s the synopsis…

Some of the greatest (and grooviest) music ever committed to vinyl has come out of Italy.

And some of the greatest music to come out of Italy can be found on the soundtracks composed for its lurid, gruesome and some might say nonsensical thrillers known as gialli. The maestros who composed for these include Ennio Morricone, Piero Piccioni, Armand Trovajoli…

… And Loretto Loconsole.

No one disputes that Loconsole was a genius, but was he also a murderer?

The composer’s mistress was killed in 1969 while the pair were on location in Cool Britannia for the shoot of lurid giallo Murder in London – also known as Bikini of Blood and sometimes even The Black Dog Murders (don’t ask). There wasn’t enough evidence to lead to a prosecution, but the stink of scandal never went away. Loconsole’s career never recovered, the mastertapes of his work were destroyed and he died with a dark stain on his legacy.

Now, his granddaughter Chloe has come to England to hire the Vinyl Detective. Not only does she want him to find immaculate vinyl copies of all her grandpa’s soundtracks for a series of reissues she’s putting together to resurrect his musical reputation, but she wants him to clear his name too.

Can the Vinyl Detective and the usual gang – Nevada, Tinkler and Agatha – find out the truth of what happened in Swinging London more than half a century ago? Or might there be someone out there who’d prefer the events of the past to be left well alone, and is prepared to kill to keep their secrets safely in the Sixties?

Titan Books also publishes the first seven novels in the series, in the UK and North America: WRITTEN IN DEAD WAX, THE RUN-OUT GROOVE, VICTORY DISC, FLIP BACK, LOW ACTION, ATTACK AND DECAY, and NOISE FLOOR.

Here are just a few of the great reviews the series has received so far…

‘This charming mystery feels as companionable as a leisurely afternoon trawling the vintage shops with a good friend.’ — Kirkus on WRITTEN IN DEAD WAX

‘… fast-paced, lighthearted adventure… marvelously inventive and endlessly fascinating…’ — Publishers Weekly on WRITTEN IN DEAD WAX

‘Author Cartmel has combined the tropes of the several genres into a surprising, refreshing story centered around old-fashioned records… the story delivers multiple chuckles per chapter… Based on this volume, the series will be a hit.’ — New York Journal of Books on WRITTEN IN DEAD WAX

‘… entertaining second record-spinning mystery… Cartmel treats music and records seriously, plays his strange characters for laughs, and provides a bit of danger and some unexpected twists in this affectionate nod to the vagaries of rock stardom.’ — Publishers Weekly on THE RUN-OUT GROOVE

‘THE RUN-OUT GROOVE does a fantastic job of making its fictional history of music so fascinating and authentic that you’ll forget it isn’t all true… This a follow-up every bit the equal of its highly memorable predecessor, presenting a mystery you’ll be eager to solve and characters whose company you won’t want to leave. Written with infectious charm, the Vinyl Detective has more than proven he’s no one-hit-wonder.’ (9/10) — Alternative Magazine Online on THE RUN-OUT GROOVE

‘Cartmel at his best… an exciting and atmospheric mystery and a good addition to the Vinyl Detective’s casebook.’ — Blue Book Balloon on VICTORY DISC

‘This book was such a blast! It was a great addition to this hilarious series and I’m so impressed at how entertaining these books are.’ — Divine World of Books on VICTORY DISC

‘… an interesting and intriguing history for the series’ latest MacGuffin… the writing is sharp, funny and engaging throughout, and the main characters have never been more likeable… it’s wonderful; it’s a book filled with warmth and good humour – despite a touch of murder – that often feels like reacquainting yourself with old friends… The latest Vinyl Detective novel continues the series’ fine tradition of telling fictional stories that seem entirely plausible. There hasn’t been a dud note in the Vinyl Detective’s oeuvre to date and FLIP BACK is no exception; in fact, it might just be his greatest whodunnit yet.’ 9/10 — Alternative Magazine Online on FLIP BACK

Complex Chinese Edition of Travis Baldree’s LEGENDS & LATTES!

Posted on Tuesday, April 8th, 2025

Very happy to report that LEGENDS & LATTES by Travis Baldree is available in a Complex Chinese edition! Published by ECUS Publishing House, as 傳奇拿鐵 咖啡廳, the cover is above. Here’s the synopsis…

「咖啡」是什麼鬼啊？這是獸人威芙在小鎮遇到的第一個難題，或許也是最困難的。

過去，她的雙手沾滿血腥，過著露宿風餐的日子。難道這輩子只能這樣了嗎？不，她決定，要結束冒險生活。威芙想起過去曾在另一座城喝過香醇的咖啡，流過喉頭的悸動，驅使她前往新的地點，打算開一家溫暖的咖啡廳。

這座小鎮的居民不曾品過咖啡。威芙必須從頭來過：重建裝潢、把咖啡泡得更好喝……同時，鎮上還有收保護費的傳聞，加上過去一起冒險時的夥伴時而來找碴，都讓開店變得更加未知。

不過，當一個人懷有夢想，全世界都會成為助力。作者說，這是一個「並沒有重重危機，比起油炸下酒菜更像是雞湯的故事」。

咖啡廳像是有魔力似的，吸引各路好手加入，魅魔幫忙沖泡咖啡、招攬客人；鼠人默默烘烤美味的糕點，研發更多獨特風味的甜品；霍布妖將店面打造得愈來愈舒適；吟遊詩人的歌曲，讓客人忘了時間的流逝……儘管不定時出現的巨貓看來不好惹，卻似乎總在威芙有難時來臨。

隨著更多糕點出爐，咖啡的熱氣蒸騰，威芙與魅魔的曖昧也更加濃烈。

LEGENDS & LATTES is published by Tor Books in the UK and in North America. Here’s the English-language synopsis…

High fantasy, low stakes – with a double-shot of coffee.

After decades of adventuring, Viv the orc barbarian is finally hanging up her sword for good. Now she sets her sights on a new dream – for she plans to open the first coffee shop in the city of Thune. Even though no one there knows what coffee actually is.

If Viv wants to put the past behind her, she can’t go it alone. And help might arrive from unexpected quarters. Yet old rivals and new stand in the way of success. And Thune’s shady underbelly could make it all too easy for Viv to take up the blade once more.

But the true reward of the uncharted path is the travellers you meet along the way. Whether bound by ancient magic, delicious pastries or a freshly brewed cup, they may become something deeper than Viv ever could have imagined…

The internationally best-selling prequel novel (#1 in the US!), BOOKSHOPS & BONEDUST, is also available — published by Tor Books in the UK and North America.

Thai Edition of Travis Baldree’s BOOKSHOPS & BONEDUST Out Now!

Posted on Friday, April 4th, 2025

The Thai edition of Travis Baldree‘s BOOKSHOPS & BONEDUST, the internationally-bestselling prequel to LEGENDS & LATTES, is out now! Published by Words Wonder, as ร้านหนังสือกับผงกระดูก, it was translated by Natchaya Hiranyasombat. Here’s the synopsis…

ภาคต่ออันน่าประทับใจของ Legends & Lattes

เรื่องราวสมัยวัยสาวของวีฟ ออร์กสาวนักต่อสู้และนักรบรับจ้าง วีฟบาดเจ็บจากการต่อสู้กับกองทัพผีดิบของผู้ครองมรณะ จึงต้องพักรักษาตัวอยู่ที่เมืองเล็ก ๆ ริมชายทะเลแห่งหนึ่ง ระหว่างที่ทรมานกับการพักฟื้น วีฟได้รู้จักกับเฟิร์น หนูแรตคินตัวใหญ่เจ้าของร้านหนังสือที่กำลังจะเจ๊ง เฟิร์นทำให้วีฟรู้จักกับความมหัศจรรย์ของการอ่านหนังสือ และเมืองเล็ก ๆ นี้ก็ยังทำให้วีฟได้รู้จักกับความรักครั้งแรก

หนังสือ ผงกระดูก ผีดิบ ผู้ครองมรณะ ความรัก และขนมปังอุ่น ๆ จะทำให้คุณตกหลุมรักอีกครั้ง!

BOOKSHOPS & BONEDUST is published by Tor Books in the UK and North America, as is LEGENDS & LATTES. Here’s the English-language synopsis…

First loves. Second-hand books. Epic adventures.

Viv’s career with the renowned 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 struggling bookshop in the company of its foul-mouthed proprietor is the last thing Viv would have predicted. Even though it may be exactly what she needs. Still, adventure isn’t far away. A suspicious traveller in grey, 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.

Sometimes, right things happen at the wrong time. Sometimes, what we need isn’t what we seek. And sometimes, we find ourselves in the stories we experience together

Here are just a handful of the great reviews BOOKSHOPS & BONEDUST has received so far…

‘What I love about Travis Baldree is that set against an epic world of adventure, he writes about the small victories that make life worthwhile. BOOKSHOPS & BONEDUST does this and it is glorious’ — Ben Aaronovitch

‘… a lovely coming-of-age story about a character trained for war who learns that there’s more to life than endless battles. What makes the story special is the way that so many stock fantasy archetypes are cast against type and find new modes of prospering that don’t involve big weapons and bigger wars… This prequel is the perfect place for readers to start Baldree’s cozy fantasy series where folks band together for good, and evil is conquered through cleverness and friendship.’ — Library Journal (Starred Review), SFF Pick of the Month

‘Baldree’s prequel to Legends and Lattes (2022) cements his talent for cozy fantasy, engaging characters, and anachronistic references that would be at home in a Discworld novel… Knowing where a character ends up often drains tension from a prequel, but Baldree avoids that pitfall because the joy of reading here isn’t a simple uncertainty over who lives or dies but rather watching friendships blossom and characters grow. Folks who enjoyed the camaraderie and settings of this year’s Dungeons & Dragons movie—as well as anyone who likes the idea of an orc warrior becoming a devotee of the power of reading and its ability to broaden your horizons—should check out Viv’s adventures.’ — Booklist (Starred Review)

‘Bestseller Baldree’s cozy standalone sequel to LEGENDS & LATTES shows that even a battle-hungry orc can find happiness in life’s simple pleasures… The innocent joy of Viv and Fern’s love is delightful and Baldree’s formula of placing low-stakes stories in high-fantasy settings remains good fun. Series fans will eat this up.’ — Publishers Weekly

‘This prequel gives readers a glimpse of Viv as a young orc, still committed to the fighter’s life, just taking an enforced break in a charming town populated by compelling, richly drawn characters, and the slightest hint of danger in the wind. Despite the lurking necromancer, the vibes are decidedly warm and cozy, and the plot is just as much about saving the bookstore and building relationships as it is about protecting the town from the man in gray. As a prequel, it can stand alone, but will certainly satisfy fans as well. Warm and wonderful.’ — Kirkus (Starred Review)

Posted on Thursday, March 27th, 2025

The paperback edition of Peter V. Brett‘s acclaimed second Nightfall Saga novel, THE HIDDEN QUEEN, is out now in the UK! Published by Harper Voyager, here’s the synopsis…

Humanity thought the war with demonkind was over. Now, after humanity has had less than a generation to rebuild, the demon corelings have returned with a vengeance. The Spear of Ala — the fortress that stands at the gates of the demon’s hive — is the last bastion against the horde, and reports say it may already have fallen.

Olive Paper is expected to take the vanguard in the fight. Only an heir of Kaji can wield the artifact that opens the gates of the Spear of Ala, and as Ahmann Jardir’s child, Olive seems destined for a role as leader and savior. But Olive does not wish to follow in her father’s footsteps any more than she did her mother’s.

Darin Bales was born with supernatural senses that he struggles to process, but even those who love him believe he can barely take care of himself. Yet to save his mother from the clutches of Alagai Ka, the demon king, Darin will brave anything to mount a rescue.

Darin and Olive each strive to walk their own path but find themselves inextricably tied to the legacies of their parents and to a fated confrontation with the demon king and his new hatchling queen. If they fail, humanity may not survive.

The first book in the series, THE DESERT PRINCE, is also published by Harper Voyager (out now in paperback, eBook, and audiobook).

The Nightfall Saga is set after the events of Brett’s acclaimed, best-selling Demon Cycle novels and novellas, all of which are published in the UK by Harper Voyager (in paperback, eBook, and audiobook).

ICYMI: Rebecca Brownlie’s ABANDONED IRELAND 2 Out Now!

Posted on Wednesday, March 19th, 2025

Today we wanted to highlight Rebecca Brownlie‘s ABANDONED IRELAND 2, which was published just a little while ago. Published by Merrion Press, here’s the synopsis…

In Abandoned Ireland 2, photographer Rebecca Brownlie travels further off the beaten path to explore and showcase Ireland’s forgotten buildings before nature or the demolition man claims them forever. Through her evocative photography, we cross the threshold of deserted mansions, cottages, convents and hotels, mills and shopping centres, wandering through once-lively rooms that have now fallen silent, where only mementos of the past stand sentinel. Amid the decay, tables are elaborately set for tea, coats hang by the door and well-thumbed books lay poised and open, as if their owner will be back at any moment.

From a castle where King James II stayed before the Battle of the Boyne to a manor house whose occupants mysteriously disappeared in the middle of the night, the arresting and poignant photography on every page is a love letter to Ireland’s buildings abandoned to time.

The first in the Abandoned Ireland series is also published by Merrion Press.

Here are some reviews the first book received…

‘The author is interested above all, one senses, in the grain of day-to-day life: in the stories and power retained by detritus and everyday objects – the crucifix on the wall, the dusty piano, assorted books, the bottle of cod liver oil – even amid the desolation of abandonment. And more than anything, Brownlie’s tremendously evocative photographs tell and amplify such stories of materiality, and of buildings poised trembling between life and death.’ – Neil Hegarty, The Irish Times

‘The images are captivating … she has a natural eye for composition, and a talent for picking out features of interest, whether that’s highlighting the breathtaking architectural aspects of a building, or honing in on the sights that tell the stories of the forgotten lives within.’ – Chrissie Russell, The Sunday Independent 

‘ABANDONED IRELAND is packed with beautiful, evocative pictures of neglected buildings which now serve as crumbling time capsules of days past. Here, photographer Rebecca Brownlie explains how a fascination for seeking out haunted houses evolved into an ongoing quest to document decaying dwellings and their often fascinating histories…’ – The Independent

‘Rebecca Brownlie’s beautiful photographic catalogue… provides food for thought in a multitude of ways.’ – Michael Duggan, The Irish Examiner

Graham Patterson’s life has hit a dead end. His career as a comedian is failing. The love of his life recently broke up with him and he literally has no idea what to do next. With nothing to lose, he buys a new car and hits the road, planning to drive across country and hopefully figure out his next moves before reaching California.

But along the way Patterson does something his old self would never have even considered: he gets tattooed by a brilliant tattoo artist in North Carolina. The decision sets off a series of extraordinary events that changes his life forever in ways he never could have imagined. Among other things, Patterson is gifted with the ability to see in real time three different lives that are available to him. The choice is his: The life he is leading right now, or two very different ones.
