Waterstones loves Solaris!

Our Account Manager Ben Smith went for a wander in London last Friday, and took these lovely snaps for us in Waterstones' flagship branch in Piccadilly.

A spaceship manned by humans crashlanding on an alien world is fairly unoriginal, but that world being linked to hundreds of others by a coil-shaped river-like sea is not. But is this a natural system or created? And if the latter, by whom?

A quote on the cover from Peter F. Hamilton? That's never a bad sign. ENGINEMAN is an old book getting a re-release, but even so Brown's knack of memorable characters is as prevalent as ever. A great, underpushed author.

They recommended two Eric Brown books - Helix and Engineman - and Rowena Cory Daniells's King Rolen's Kin trilogy.


One of the most well-received fantasy series of recent years. if you like shady goings-on, sibling rivalries, murder and wall-to-wall sword-based shenanigans start this series today.

King Rolen's Kin - enjoyed by Aussies and eBook readers alike!

Rowena just e-mailed us to say that her King Rolen's Kin trilogy is doing really well in Austrailia! It's number nine on the bestseller list in Sydney's premier speculative fiction bookstore, Galaxy Bookshop (think Forbidden Planet, just hotter 'cause they're in Austrailia).

Galaxy, obviously fans of Rowena's previous fantasy trilogy, The Last T'En, blogged about Rowena's new series last week with the jubilant words "She's back!" Rowena has written a guest post for them, here, and there's also the opportunity to win a copy of The King's Bastard.


There's more good news too - last week I created .epub and .mobi ebooks for several of our titles including Eric Brown's Helix, Necropath, Ian Whate's The Noise Within and all of Rowena's King Rolen's Kin trilogy! They should be out shortly, when the ebook elves have got them online... in the meantime check out great Solaris titles such as James Lovegrove's Age of Ra, Age of Zeus and Jetse de Vries' anthology of optimistic fiction, Shine, which we're already selling as ebooks in online ebook stores such as Amazon Kindle and Waterstones.
