Too Hot For North America!!

plague-set

Fun news today for everyone outside North America.  I've released new "author’s cut" e-book editions of the Plague Year trilogy.   Due to my contracts with Ace, the new editions aren't available in the U.S. or Canada -- and this weekend, the first book is free.   😉

Here's the revised jacket copy:

At last, the author’s cut of the bestselling apocalyptic thriller!  The all-new Plague Year is twenty pages longer, less expensive, and packed with artwork.

“Terrifying.” —Scott Sigler
“Riveting.” —David Brin
“Rock-hard realistic.” —James Rollins

The nanotech was intended to save lives. Instead, it killed five billion people, devouring all warm-blooded lifeforms except on the highest mountain peaks.

The safe line is 10,000 feet. Below, there is only death. Above, there is famine and war. Mankind’s final hope rests with a scientist aboard the International Space Station — and with one man in California who gambles everything on a desperate mission into the ruins of the old world…

Great News In 2013!!!

First:  I’m alive.  I know it’s been quiet for a few weeks.  With the holidays and a killer deadline, I’ve been a busy little duck.   Back now!

Second:  How’s this for an awesome new endorsement of The Frozen Sky!?!?!

The Frozen Sky combines Golden Age roots with modern-day sensibilities to create a story that is gripping, intelligent, and entirely new.  Highly recommended.”
Seanan McGuire, New York Times bestselling author of  Midnight Blue-Light Special

Wow.  THANK YOU!!

 

Third, the Plague Year trilogy has sold in Dutch to a publisher with the awesome name of MACC Zilverspoor, which makes me think of Roger Zelazny, precious metals, and the evil, alien, interstellar spoor seeds from Invasion of the Body Snatchers.  Zilverspoor.  How can you go wrong with a name like that!?    🙂

Zilverspoor has posted the Plague Year book trailer on their site with announcements that I can’t read in their extremely cool language.  Check it out!  I love the extra vowels.  It looks a bit like Czech to me.  My editors there are good, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable.  I can’t wait to see the books.

More soon.

 

Welcome back to THE FROZEN SKY

It’s an absolute pleasure to make this announcement.  Years after the original short story, I’ve returned to The Frozen Sky.  I’ll let the jacket copy speak for itself.  There is also a fun guest blog coming on genre portal SF Signal.

First, the eye-popping cover art by Jacob Charles Dietz!

 

Thank you to everyone who pushed me to write this novel or helped in its creation, a group which includes David Marusek, Allen Steele, Larry Niven, Matthew J. Harrington, Penny Hill, Ben Bowen, Michael Stein, Charles Hanson,  Ben “The Other Ben” Metzler, Jeff “The Other Jeff” Quiros, Jeff “The Real Jeff” Sierzenga, Ashley Sierzenga, and many others including my lovely and patient wife Diana.

Here is the back jacket copy.  I hope it makes your head explode…    ;P

“I’m hooked.” —Larry Niven
“A first-rate adventure.” —Allen Steele
