Miles Cameron’s WHALESONG Out This Week in new UK Paperback Edition!

Posted on Tuesday, April 7th, 2026

The UK paperback edition of Miles Cameron‘s WHALESONG is out this week! Officially, it’s available from April 9th, published by Gollancz. The third novel in the author’s internationally-acclaimed Arcana Imperii science fiction series, here’s the synopsis…

Thor Stokel had always dreamed of being master of his own ship, and the Silver Star is a dream ship: fast, sleek and powerful. But leaving the safety of his military career in the DHC behind to become an independent merchant fast becomes a nightmare of endless solo flights, paperwork, bad deals and customs disasters.

When he’s imprisoned over the latest customs and paperwork mistake, Thor’s luck finally starts to change. Incarceration leads to his first crewmate – and then a second. But it also leads to an increase in his paranoia: something doesn’t add up about his beautiful new ship, the AI is erratic, and he’s increasingly sure that his crewmates are hiding something. And now he thinks the Silver Star is being followed…

Exhausted, isolated, and still just trying to make ends meet, Thor Storkel is either the most paranoid man in space… or he’s a vital part of a galaxy-spanning conspiracy, that’s going to depend on his being paranoid enough to survive it…

… And Marca N’baro still needs a whale…

WHALESONG is due to be published in North America by Saga Press, on August 4th, 2026.

Gollancz has published the first two novels in the Arcana Imperii series in the UK, as well as a short-story collection — BEYOND THE FRINGE. The first two novels are out now in North America, published by Saga Press.

Miles Cameron’s DEEP BLACK is Out Today in North America!

Posted on Tuesday, March 24th, 2026

DEEP BLACK, the second novel in Miles Cameron‘s Arcana Imperii series is out now in North America! Published by Saga Press, here’s the synopsis…

This explosive sequel continues the thrilling space opera saga that started with Artifact Space, following Marca Nbaro and her crewmates aboard the Greatship Athens—perfect for fans of Adrian Tchaikovsky and James S.A. Corey.

Marca Nbaro always dreamed of serving aboard the Greatships, colossal vessels with sprawling crews and cargo holds vast enough to fuel entire cities. These ships keep human space alive, transporting priceless goods from City to far-off Tradepoint to trade for xenoglas with an unknowable alien species.

But something sinister is lurking in the dark, and now the Greatships have become the prey.

Racing against time, Marca and her crew must track down an elusive enemy as their allies lose patience and danger closes in. When one of the mysterious aliens they’ve been trying to understand defects to humanity, it sparks a mission more perilous than anything they’ve faced before. Marca must risk it all to retrieve the alien and uncover the secrets that could forever alter the fabric of the universe.

Packed with gripping space battles and pulse-pounding alien encounters, Deep Black hurtles through a galaxy teetering on the brink of chaos, where every decision could mean survival or annihilation.

Saga Press published the first novel in the Arcana Imperii series, ARTIFACT SPACE, in North America in January; they will publish the third novel, WHALESONG, on August 4th.

All three novels are published in the UK by Gollancz, and out now; also available is BEYOND THE FRINGE, a collection of novellas set in the same universe.

DOMINION OF THE FALLEN Re-Issues Out Tomorrow!

Posted on Monday, March 9th, 2026

The new editions of Aliette de Bodard‘s acclaimed, award-winning Dominion of the Fallen series are officially out tomorrow! All three novels are re-published by JABberwocky, with great new covers by Tara O’Shea: THE HOUSE OF SHATTERED WINGS, THE HOUSE OF BINDING THORNS and THE HOUSE OF SUNDERING FLAMES.

Here’s the synopsis for the BSFA Award-winning first novel…

Paris, turn of the century.

The Great War between magical Houses of Fallen angels has devastated the city. The Seine runs black with ashes, the great monuments are blackened ruins, and the Houses still fight. It is a quiet war of alliances and intrigues played in worn drawing-rooms and once-elegant gardens.

Silverspires, once the greatest House, is now nothing more than a minor player in those intrigues.

Philippe, a young man from the colonies of the East, is caught harming a helpless Fallen, and held prisoner in House Silverspires. His path intersects with Isabelle, the naive Fallen he has wounded; Selene, the insecure Fallen head of the House; and Madeleine, a washed-out alchemist addicted to angel drugs.

Together, they will either save the House, or cause its final, irrevocable Fall…

To mark the re-release, de Bodard has been running a pre-order campaign: if you buy any of the three novels, in any format, you will get an eBook of the author’s short novel OF BIRTHDAYS, FUNGUS, AND KINDNESS. Full details of the pre-order campaign can be found here — and today is the last day!

The Dominion of the Fallen series is still available in the UK, published by Gollancz.

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

‘Will grab readers and force them to pay attention to the amazing writing and the phenomenal characters. de Bodard will sweep you up into the dark and dirty world Paris has become. The characters are very vivid and will stay with you until long after the last page, as each of them is fighting and longing for something. The writing style rendered the characters’ feelings and emotional turmoil beautifully. Watching Philippe and Isabelle work through their “connection” is fascinating and lovely. There’s so much going on, and every character has their own past, their own tragic history. It’s a whirlwind, it’s heartbreaking and it’s one of the best fantasy novels of 2015.’ — RT Book Reviews (Top Pick August 2015) on THE HOUSE OF SHATTERED WINGS

‘A gripping tragedy of forlorn individuals caught up in an angelic version of the Cold War… The story holds up well as a standalone, with clear possibilities but no pressing need for a sequel. De Bodard aptly mixes moral conflicts and the desperate need to survive in a fantastical spy thriller that reads like a hybrid of le Carré and Milton, all tinged with the melancholy of golden ages lost.’ — Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) on THE HOUSE OF SHATTERED WINGS

‘De Bodard… has spun a fascinating Paris of decay and cruelty. ­Phillippe is a marvel of a character, unreliable as a narrator but compelling in his flaws and his deep well of homesickness.‘ — Library Journal (Starred Review) on THE HOUSE OF SHATTERED WINGS

‘A beautifully crafted novel full of complex characters, set in a post apocalyptic Paris – the image of which is truly haunting… vivid and fast-paced battles and intense political manoeuvrings… with carefully crafted characters both with layers and depth, De Bodard reflects the best and worst of human nature in her novel… an intriguing mystery, elegantly written… Something any avid fantasy reader with an open mind will devour!’ — Guardian on THE HOUSE OF SHATTERED WINGS

‘De Bodard’s writing is very precise, like a well-oiled machine. The tempo is piston perfect, with the prose style having a strong and steady rhythm throughout. The emotional journey is relatively predictable (especially when we get into a marriage sequence), but the narrative is not. In other words, you can pretty much tell that the big emotions are coming, but the how and the why is what keeps you on edge. This is not a villains book; this is a powerful sequel that shows us that the incredibly complex world of the last novel is even more involved than we first expected. Strong stuff which you won’t stop reading till the end.’ — Starburst on THE HOUSE OF BINDING THORNS

‘The author spins a tale that’s rich, emotional and gripping, and delivers that rare thing: a superior sequel… This is an incredibly rich novel. Even as the scheming, double-crossing and action set pieces unfold, the author never loses sight of the people whose lives are on the line… There’s just so much going on here: social commentary, myths and fairytales that often feel under-represented in genre fiction, a gripping genre adventure and an affecting love story. The author has gone from strength to strength and we can’t wait for this story to continue.’ — SciFi Now (5/5*) on THE HOUSE OF BINDING THORNS

‘Truly beautifully balanced: between new and old, birth and death, beauty and ugliness, inside and outside, beginning and, yes, ending. It walks the line, and walks it fine.’ — Tor.com on THE HOUSE OF BINDING THORNS

‘If you’ve loved the previous entries in this series, consider it a must read. If you haven’t, know that it delivers an intoxicating blend of gothic mystery, apocalyptic fantasy, and Vietnamese myth—meaty, singular, and satisfying.’ — B&N Sci-Fi & Fantasy Blog on THE HOUSE OF SUNDERING FLAMES

Brandon Sanderson’s ISLES OF THE EMBERDARK is out Tomorrow in the UK!

Posted on Monday, February 2nd, 2026

The UK edition of ISLES OF THE EMBERDARK is out tomorrow! The latest novel in Brandon Sanderson‘s Secret Projects series, it’s published by Gollancz. Here’s the synopsis…

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson comes a legendary standalone novel that navigates the seas and the stars of a far-future Cosmere. Illustrated by Esther Hi’ilani Candari.

All his life, Sixth of the Dusk has been a traditional trapper of Aviar — the supernatural birds his people bond with — on the deadly island of Patji. Then one fateful night he propels his people into a race to modernize before they can be conquered by the Ones Above, invaders from the stars who want to exploit the Aviar.

But it’s a race they’re losing, and Dusk fears his people will lose themselves in the effort. When a chance comes to sail into the expanse of the emberdark beyond a mystical portal, Dusk sets off to find his people’s salvation with only a canoe, his birds, and all the grit and canniness of a Patji trapper.

Elsewhere in the emberdark is a young dragon chained in human form: Starling of the starship Dynamic. She and her ragtag crew of exiles are deep in debt and on the brink of losing their freedom. So when she finds an ancient map to a hidden portal between the emberdark and the physical realm, she seizes the chance at a lucrative discovery.

These unlikely allies might just be the solution to each other’s crises. In their search for independence, Dusk and Starling face perilous bargains, poisonous politics, and the destructive echo of a dead god.

In this beautiful new tale, Sanderson expands his thrilling novella “Sixth of the Dusk” into a mythic novel of legends, lore, and warring galactic superpowers.

In other Sanderson news, you may have seen that two of his other series — Mistborn and Stormlight Archive — have been optioned by Apple TV! Both of these series, plus other novels by Sanderson, are also published in the UK by Gollancz.

New LORD OF LIGHT Edition Available in Ukraine!

Posted on Tuesday, January 20th, 2026

A new edition of Roger Zelazny‘s classic LORD OF LIGHT is available in Ukraine! Published by Богдан, as Володар Світла, it was translated by Denis Demin, and the cover is by Oleg Kinal. Here’s the synopsis…

У чарівному барвистому світі панує кастовий устрій на релігійній основі. Свавільні й могутні безсмертні небожителі, що нагадують супергероїв із коміксів, безтурботно раюють, тоді як людство застрягло десь на середньовічному рівні, у шорах невігластва й забобонів. Щойно наука підійме голову, паростки технологій безжально викорінюють, бо знання — запорука влади, а владою Небеса ділитися не бажають. Але зухвалий раджа Сіддгартха ще пам’ятає: колись давно, на втраченій далекій батьківщині, було й по-іншому. Він кидає виклик «богам» і розпочинає рух опору, а Небеса проголошують цього «месію» поза законом і намагаються вполювати… У своєму славетному творі Роджер Желязни майстерно обігрує всякі мотиви: божественності й безсмертя, грані між технікою і чарами, розбещення владою, космічної колонізації і навіть транссексуальності, вплітаючи в пишний орнамент ниточки індуїзму й буддизму, іронію і тонкі алюзії. «Володар Світла» — найкращий роман 1968 року за версією премії «Г’юґо». Зануртеся й ви в атмосферу східної казки й індійської філософії, що вуалює класичну фантастику.

LORD OF LIGHT, which won the Hugo Award in 1968, is published in the UK by Gollancz, as part of their SF Masterworks series. Here’s the English-language synopsis…

Imagine a distant world where gods walk as men, but wield vast and hidden powers. Here they have made the stage on which they build a subtle pattern of alliance, love, and deadly enmity. Are they truly immortal? Who are these gods who rule the destiny of a teeming world?

Their names include Brahma, Kali, Krishna and also he who was called Buddha, the Lord of Light, but who now prefers to be known simply as Sam. The gradual unfolding of the story – how the colonization of another planet became a re-enactment of Eastern mythology – is one of the great imaginative feats of modern science fiction.

Ian McDonald’s LUNA Available Now in Ukraine!

Posted on Wednesday, January 7th, 2026

We’re happy to report that Ian McDonald‘s acclaimed first Luna novel, NEW MOON, is available in a Ukrainian edition! Published by Богдан, as Луна. Новий Місяць, here’s the synopsis…

Місяць постійно хоче тебе вбити. Він має для цього тисячі способів: крижаний вакуум, смертельна радіація, задуха від реголітового пилу чи поступове руйнування кісток твого тіла. І якщо ти виживеш, тебе намагатимуться зламати П’ять Драконів — корпорації, що керують місячними багатствами та навіть твоїм диханням.

Але ти залишаєшся. Бо Місяць дає шанс на достаток, що перевершує найвигадливіші мрії. Допоки ти тримаєшся.

«Луна: Новий Місяць» — епічна сага Ієна Макдональда про закон великого капіталу та невблаганну владу сімейних кланів. Письменник майстерно створює дивовижно детальний світ, де бізнес стає зброєю, а найближча родина — єдиною опорою.

The novel was translated by Yevgeny Lushchikov; the cover is by Rostislav Kramar.

The Luna series is published in the UK by Gollancz and in North America by Tor Books: NEW MOON, WOLF MOON, and MOON RISING. The novels are published widely in translation. Here’s the English-language synopsis….

The Moon wants to kill you. It might not get there first.

Luna is a gripping thriller about five corporate families caught in a bitter battle for supremacy in the harsh environment of the moon. It’s very easy to die on the moon, but with its vast mineral wealth it’s also easy to make your fortune.

Following the fortunes of a handful of disparate characters, from one of the lowliest workers on the moon to the heads of one of the most powerful families, LUNA provides a vast mosaic of life on this airless and terrifying new home for humanity.

This is SF that will be perfect for fans of Kim Stanley Robinson and Ken Macleod alike.

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

‘The way that Ian McDonald flawlessly adapts his writing to the relevant culture and country at hand is ingenious, and he showcases this perfectly in his much-lauded previous work. In LUNA: NEW MOON though, McDonald has clearly perfected this skill… McDonald certainly shows off the well-developed Cortas to illustrate his knack for creating dynamic human relationships that encompass the whole Moon… LUNA: NEW MOON is a world that has been intricately woven together by its author. It’s compelling and thought-provoking, and all without relying on overbearing sci-fi clichés. Brilliantly done.’ — SciFiNow

‘Almost monolithic in its ambition. In its gravitas and tension and, alas, tragedy, it’s damn near Shakespearian… a setting so brilliantly built and deftly embellished that buying into it isn’t ever an issue; a vast cast of characters as satisfying and sympathetic individually as they are as part of McDonald’s elaborate ensemble; and a plot composed of so many threads that you never know where it’s going to go — except that when it ends, it’s destined to end terribly… a world as wicked as it is convincing… only a matter of time before CBS sets about broadening the appeal of this magnificent bastard of a book.’ — Tor.com

‘Science Fiction authors have made the Moon a popular destination for centuries now: our closest celestial neighbor is home to hundreds of stories. Ian McDonald’s latest novel, LUNA: NEW MOON, is probably one of the best set there… McDonald envisions a future that feels wholly realistic… This is an astonishingly good novel, loaded with vivid detail and interesting ideas about politics, dynasties and our future in space. McDonald has written — no, crafted — some of my favorite science fiction novels, from RIVER OF GODS to THE DERVISH HOUSE, and this one is probably his best yet.’ — io9

‘McDonald… begins his superb near-future series… scintillating, violent, and decadent world. McDonald creates a complex and fascinating civilization featuring believable technology, and the characters are fully developed, with individually gripping stories. Watch for this brilliantly constructed family saga on next year’s award ballots.’ — Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)

‘Mafia-style mining families clash in a compelling fantasy that offers up all the pleasures of a cut-throat soap opera in space… That McDonald is able to spin a compelling story from this unforgiving set-up is testament to his skill as a writer… One thing Luna does exceptionally well is to puncture Old Heinlein’s assumption that a frontier society based on the primacy of the family and a disregard of conventional laws would end up like idealised smalltown America. Luna argues that any realistic future colonisation of the moon will be much more The Sopranos than The Waltons. LUNA is as gripping as it is colourful, and as colourful as it is nasty.’ — Guardian

‘No one writes like Ian McDonald, and no one’s Moon is nearly so beautiful and terrible… Ian McDonald’s never written a bad novel, but this is a great Ian McDonald novel… McDonald’s moon is omnisexual, kinky, violent, passionate, beautiful, awful, vibrant and crushing. As the family saga of the Cortas unravels, we meet a self-sexual ninja lawyer, a werewolf who loses his mind in the Full Earth, a family tyrant whose ruthlessness is matched only by his crepulance, and a panoply of great passions and low desires. LUNA: NEW MOON is the first book of a two-book cycle. Now I’m all a-quiver for the next one.‘ — BoingBoing

‘Fans of cerebral, high-concept science fiction will love this exploration of society on the moon many decades after it has been colonized… an addictive page-turner… accelerates into a mesmerizing political thriller.’ — RT Book Reviews

‘LUNA: NEW MOON is the best moon novel I’ve seen in many years… Inasmuch as it challenges one of the cherished master narratives of SF, in which the moon is only a stepping-stone, and despite what it owes to the tropes of ’70s-era social melodrama, McDon­ald’s novel has some formidable SF stingers not far beneath its densely textured surface.’ — Locus

‘Heralds the welcome return of one of western science fiction’s foremost globally oriented authors. Bristling with the energy and action… LUNA burns with the desperate anxieties of the late-capitalist, financialized age: the universalization of debt, the demand for contingent and flexible labor, and the resulting polarized wealth gap… one of McDonald’s greatest strengths: an ability to think through the uneven development and cultural diffusion of global economic and technological change. In a striking fashion, McDonald’s worlds are heavily cultural… McDonald’s worlds, whether grim, hopeful, or — as is often the case — both, feel lived in rather than culturally depleted or used up… With an action narrative driving this political commentary, LUNA is actually a fantastically fun read as well as an important one.’ — LA Review of Books

UK Paperback Edition of Ian McDonald’s THE WILDING Out Today!

Posted on Thursday, November 27th, 2025

The new paperback edition of the acclaimed THE WILDING by Ian McDonald , a stand-alone novel of suspense, is out today in the UK! Published by Gollancz, here’s the synopsis…

Five kids are on a sleepover in a restored wilderness project in Ireland. With them, three teachers and one Ranger: Lisa. She is 26, longing to leave her job, out of her depth and soon to find herself mired in a nightmare.

Strange things have been happening at Lough Carrow, a vast rewilding project on the site of a former commercial peat-bog. Livestock mutilations. Rumours, myths from the neighbouring villages. Strange, unidentifiable tracks. On the trek in to the sleepover site they sight animals that have not yet been introduced to the park – wolves, wolverines, things older. Things thought long extinct.

As they near the centre of the wilding a boy realises he’s forgotten his meds. A teacher volunteers to take him back to the visitor centre. Sure, what could go wrong?

That night the camp is attacked. A teacher is dragged away. Lisa’s group is marooned in the wild. It is night, the four remaining kids are terrified, they need to get back to the ARK, but the wilderness seems to be playing with time and distance and something is out there. Something hungry and hunting…

The Irish Times called THE WILDING ‘a sharp thriller with a healthy dose of folk horror… With strong characterisation, a deep sense of place and real wit… entertaining and often surprising.’

Ian McDonald is the author of a many acclaimed and award-winning novels and series. His most recent works are the stand-alone novel HOPELAND, and the Luna series — both published by Gollancz in the UK, and Tor Books in North America.

THE TOWER OF THE TYRANT by J. T. Greathouse is Out Now!

Posted on Thursday, November 6th, 2025

THE TOWER OF THE TYRANT — the new, acclaimed and highly-anticipated epic fantasy novel by J. T. Greathouse — is out now! A standalone adventure, it’s published by Gollancz in the UK. Here’s the synopsis…

A LAND DIVIDED. A HISTORY INKED IN BLOOD. ONE SORCERESS’S QUEST FOR ANSWERS.

The world beyond the City of the Wise is fraught with danger. But Fola, a talented sorceress who has left the safety of its walls, is unconcerned. She’s on the hunt for magical remnants left behind by the First Folk — ancient beings who are but the whisper of a memory. Only by finding them might she uncover the secret to their power and a way to pull the riven lands out of the darkness.

Danger lies ahead for Fola, however she feels about it. And when events conspire to drag her into a cursed kingdom to investigate the death of its king, she’s soon faced by threats from both the living and the dead.

Fola will need to rely on her wits, her magic and her unlikely friends if she’s going to survive. But there is always hope, no matter how dark things get. And three things remain true, above all else.

Fellowship is stronger than isolation.

The past will come back to haunt you.

Nothing stays secret forever.

You can read an interview with the author over on Fantasy Hive.

THE TOWER OF THE TYRANT will also be available in a limited Broken Binding edition, which was recently announced.

‘A great, deep and magical world to get lost in – classic and contemporary fantasy hand in hand’ — A.S. Tamaki, author of The Book of Fallen Leaves

‘Stunning… the model of 21st century sword and sorcery’ — Richard Swan, Sunday Times bestselling author of Grave Empire

‘Where Greathouse excels is in his characters, which are deep and interesting and the kind of people you *want* to see win (or lose). Greathouse takes a sort of Celtic setting here with ancient magics and fey queens and weaves an ultimately human story about what it takes for us to grow and change and make ourselves better… highly recommended for fans of epic fantasy with a couple twists.’ — Auston Habershaw, author of If Wishes Were Retail

‘A beautiful, intricate, angry book about the price tag of history, and whether we should keep paying it.’ — Jared Pechaček, author of The West Passage

WIND AND TRUTH UK Paperback Out This Week!

Posted on Monday, November 3rd, 2025

The UK paperback edition of WIND AND TRUTH, the acclaimed and bestselling fifth novel in Brandon Sanderson‘s Stormlight Archives series, is out this week! Due to be published by Gollancz on November 6th, here’s the synopsis…

The long-awaited explosive climax to the first arc of the Number One New York Times bestselling Stormlight Archive.

Dalinar Kholin challenged the evil god Odium to a contest of champions with the future of Roshar on the line. The Knights Radiant have only ten days to prepare-and the sudden ascension of the crafty and ruthless Taravangian to take Odium’s place has thrown everything into disarray.

Desperate fighting continues simultaneously worldwide-Adolin in Azimir, Sigzil and Venli at the Shattered Plains, and Jasnah at Thaylen City. The former assassin, Szeth, must cleanse his homeland of Shinovar from the dark influence of the Unmade. He is accompanied by Kaladin, who faces a new battle helping Szeth fight his own demons . . . and who must do the same for the insane Herald of the Almighty, Ishar.

At the same time, Shallan, Renarin, and Rlain work to unravel the mystery behind the Unmade Ba-Ado-Mishram and her involvement in the enslavement of the singer race and in the ancient Knights Radiants killing their spren.

UK Paperback Edition of Ian McDonald’s THE WILDING Out in Four Weeks!

Posted on Friday, October 31st, 2025

A new paperback edition of the acclaimed THE WILDING by Ian McDonald , a stand-alone novel of suspense, will be published in the UK in four weeks (November 27th)! To be published by Gollancz, here’s the synopsis…

Five kids are on a sleepover in a restored wilderness project in Ireland. With them, three teachers and one Ranger: Lisa. She is 26, longing to leave her job, out of her depth and soon to find herself mired in a nightmare.

Strange things have been happening at Lough Carrow, a vast rewilding project on the site of a former commercial peat-bog. Livestock mutilations. Rumours, myths from the neighbouring villages. Strange, unidentifiable tracks. On the trek in to the sleepover site they sight animals that have not yet been introduced to the park – wolves, wolverines, things older. Things thought long extinct.

As they near the centre of the wilding a boy realises he’s forgotten his meds. A teacher volunteers to take him back to the visitor centre. Sure, what could go wrong?

That night the camp is attacked. A teacher is dragged away. Lisa’s group is marooned in the wild. It is night, the four remaining kids are terrified, they need to get back to the ARK, but the wilderness seems to be playing with time and distance and something is out there. Something hungry and hunting…

The Irish Times called THE WILDING ‘a sharp thriller with a healthy dose of folk horror… With strong characterisation, a deep sense of place and real wit… entertaining and often surprising.’

Ian McDonald is the author of a great many acclaimed and award-winning novels and series. His most recent works are the stand-alone novel HOPELAND, and the Luna series — both published by Gollancz in the UK, and Tor Books in North America.

Ben Aaronovitch’s FOXGLOVE SUMMER Available Now in Slovakia!

Posted on Wednesday, October 29th, 2025

We are very happy to report that Ben Aaronovitch‘s fifth Rivers of London novel, FOXGLOVE SUMMER, is out now in Slovakia! Published by Slovart as LETO NA VIDIEKU, it was translated by Oľga Kralovičová. Here’s the synopsis…

Po zrade kolegyne Lesley Mayovej je Peter Grant vykoľajený a podľa jeho nadriadeného inšpektora Nightingala mu prospeje pobyt na vidieku. Peter sa tak ocitne mimo svojej komfortnej zóny nielen preto, že nie je vo svojom geografickom rajóne, ale pre policajta z veľkomesta je malá dedina v herefordshirskom grófstve neznáme prostredie. Napriek tomu ponúkne pomoc miestnej polícii pri pátraní po dvoch nezvestných jedenásťročných dievčatách. Má totiž silné podozrenie, že za zmiznutím dievčat je niečo, čo patrí pod záležitosti Pavilónu.

FOXGLOVE SUMMER is published in the UK by Gollancz and in North America by DAW Books — it is also available widely in translation. Here’s the English-language synopsis…

In the fifth of his bestselling series Ben Aaronovitch takes Peter Grant out of whatever comfort zone he might have found and takes him out of London – to a small village in Herefordshire where the local police are reluctant to admit that there might be a supernatural element to the disappearance of some local children. But while you can take the London copper out of London, you can’t take the London out of the copper.

Travelling west with Beverley Brook, Peter soon finds himself caught up in a deep mystery and having to tackle local cops and local gods. And what’s more, all the shops are closed by 4pm…

The latest novel in the series is the instant-bestseller STONE & SKY, out now and published by Orion (UK) and DAW Books (North America).

‘This isn’t London. The rules are different up here, and so are the allegiances.’

Detective Sergeant Peter Grant takes a much-needed holiday up in Scotland. And he’ll need one when this is over…

If more’s the merrier, then it’s ecstatic as his partner Beverley, their young twins, his mum, dad, his dad’s band and their dodgy manager all tag along. Even his boss, DCI Thomas Nightingale, takes in the coastal airs as he trains Peter’s cousin Abigail in the arcane arts.

And they’ll need them too, because Scotland’s Granite City has more than its fair share of history and mystery, myth … and murder.

When a body is found in a bus stop, fresh from the sea, the case smells fishy from the off.

Something may be stirring beyond the bay – but there’s something far stranger in the sky…
