Huff is the author of, the acclaimed Confederation and Peacekeeper series, the Enchantment Emporium series, the stand-alone THE SILVERED — all of this are published in the UK by Titan Books.

Many congratulations to Tanya! A very well-deserved recognition!

The author’s latest novel in the UK is THE PRIVILEGE OF PEACE, the third novel in the Peacekeeper series. Here’s the synopsis…

Former space marine Torin Kerr returns for one final adventure to save the Confederation in the last book in the military science fiction Peacekeeper trilogy.

Warden Torin Kerr has put her past behind her and built a life away from the war and everything that meant. From the good, from the bad. From the heroics, from the betrayal. She’s created a place and purpose for others like her, a way to use their training for the good of the Confederation. She has friends, family, purpose.

Unfortunately, her past refuses to grant her the same absolution. Big Yellow, the ship form of the plastic aliens responsible for the war, returns. The Silsviss test the strength of the Confederation. Torin has to be Gunnery Sergeant Kerr once again and find a way to keep the peace.

Publication Day – Tanya Huff’s THE HEART OF VALOUR (UK)


HuffT-C3-HeartOfValourUK-BlogToday, Titan Books publishes Tanya Huff‘s third Confederation novel, THE HEART OF VALOUR! This is the first time the novel has been published in the UK, and we’re delighted that Titan are bringing them all to these shores. Here is the synopsis…

Gunnery Sergeant Torin Kerr was a Confederation Marine’s marine. She’d survived more deadly encounters-and kept more of her officers and enlistees alive-than anyone in the Corps, and she was determined to keep that record intact. But since her last mission, she’d been sidelined into endless briefings and debriefings with no end in sight. So, of course, she’d jumped at the chance to go to Crucible-the Marine Corps training planet-as a temporary aide to Major Svensson. The major had been reduced to little more than a brain and a spinal cord in his last combat, and he and his doctor were anxious to field-test his newly regrown body. It should have been an easy twenty-day run. After all, Crucible was only set up to simulate battle situations so that recruits could be trained safely. But they were barely on-planet when someone started blasting the training scenarios to smithereens. Suddenly, Kerr found herself not only responsible for the major and his doctor but caught in a desperate fight to keep a platoon of Marine recruits alive until someone could discover what was happening on Crucible.

THE HEART OF VALOUR follows VALOUR’S CHOICE and THE BETTER PART OF VALOUR. Two more books in the series, and a number of Huff’s other titles, are due to be published by Titan in 2014.

Here’s what critics have said about the series in the past…

‘Fast-paced. The intriguing and well-designed aliens and intricate plotting keep the reader guessing.’  —  Publishers Weekly on THE HEART OF VALOUR

‘The notable Tanya Huff proves herself equally adept at military science fiction as contemporary fantasy in her riveting new novel… A writer of great versatility, Ms. Huff captures the ambiance of an elite military group and adds a rare depth to skillful characterization to make each personality stand up and be counted. Dont miss this one…’  —  RT Book Reviews on VALOUR’S CHOICE

‘Huff’s characerization and knowledge of military subculture bring the book to a suspense-filled and rousing finale once again allowing Torin Kerr to shine in her role as the touch, resourceful and supremely competent leader.’  —  Locus on THE BETTER PART OF VALOUR

Publication Day – Tanya Huff’s VALOUR’S CHOICE and THE BETTER PART OF VALOUR


HuffT-Confederation1&2-Blog

We’re delighted to report that Tanya Huff‘s first two Confederation novels are out today in the UK! VALOUR’S CHOICE and THE BETTER PART OF VALOUR are published in the UK by Titan Books, who will also be releasing a number of other novels by Tanya over the next couple of months. (THE SILVERED was published in early November.)

Here is the synopsis for VALOUR’S CHOICE

In the distant future, humans and several alien races have been granted membership in the Confederation—at a price. They must serve and protect the far more civilized species who have long since turned away from war. When her transport ship is shot down, a routine diplomatic mission across the galaxy becomes anything but, and Staff Sergeant Torin Kerr must fight to keep her platoon alive.

Here’s what just a few critics have said about the two novels…

‘The notable Tanya Huff proves herself equally adept at military as as contemporary fantasy in her riveting VALOR’S CHOICE … A writer of great versatility, Ms. Huff captures the ambiance of an elite military group and adds a rare depth to skillful characterization to make each personality stand up and be counted. Don’t miss this one.’  —  RT Book Reviews

‘An intriguing alien race, a likeable protagonist, a fast moving plot, and a rousing ending. What more could you ask for?’  —  Science Fiction Chronicle (on VALOUR’s CHOICE)

‘This sequel to VALOR’S CHOICE, featuring a gutsy, fast-thinking female space-marine protagonist, establishes veteran fantasy author Huff as an accomplished spinner of high-tech military-sf adventure. For most sf collections.’  —  Library Journal

‘Huff’s characerization and knowledge of military subculture bring the book to a suspense-filled and rousing finale once again allowing Torin Kerr to shine in her role as the touch, resourceful and supremely competent leader.’  —  Locus

Cover Reveals: Tanya Huff’s ENCHANTMENT EMPORIUM and BETTER PART OF VALOUR


HuffT-2013TitanUKCovers2-Blog

Not so long ago, we announced the first two UK covers for Tanya Huff‘s novels. Today, we are very happy to share with you the next pair of covers! They are for THE BETTER PART OF VALOUR (the sequel to VALOUR’S CHOICE) and THE ENCHANTMENT EMPORIUM. Both books are due to be published by Titan Books in December 2013 and January 2014, respectively.

Here’s the synopsis for THE BETTER PART OF VALOUR

When Staff Sergeant Torin Kerr makes the mistake of speaking her mind to a superior officer, she finds herself tagged for a special mission for the interplanetary Confederation to act as protector to a scientific exploratory team assigned to investigate an enormous derelict spaceship. Along with her crew and her charges, Kerr soon finds herself in the midst of danger and faced with a mystery that takes all her courage and ingenuity to solve. This sequel to Valor’s Choice, featuring a gutsy, fast-thinking female space-marine protagonist, establishes veteran fantasy author Huff as an accomplished spinner of high-tech military-sf adventure.

And also THE ENCHANTMENT EMPORIUM, which is the first in an urban fantasy series…

The Gale family can change the world with the charms they cast, and they like to keep this in the family. Alysha Gale is tired of having all her aunts try to run her life, both personally and magically. So when the letter from her Gran arrives willing her a “junk” shop in Calgary, Alysha jumps at the chance. It isn’t until she gets there that she realizes her customers are fey. And no one told her there’s trouble brewing in Calgary-trouble so big that even calling in the family may not save the day…
