We've got three brand new ebooks released on Amazon Kindle this week!
There's Banners in the Wind, the final instalment in Juliet E. McKenna's fantasy trilogy The Chronicles of the Lescari Revolution, which she scheduled for release as an ebook for the very first time in March-April-May of this year.
There are also two novels which have only very very recently been released in print: Ian Whate's sci-fi adventure The Noise Revealed (the sequel to last year's The Noise Within), and Eric Brown's much-praised masterpiece The Kings of Eternity.

Juliet McKenna interviewed by Rowena Cory Daniells, plus Blood in the Water ebooks!
Juliet McKenna, author of our upcoming fantasy novel Dangerous Waters, and the Chronicles of the Lescari Revolution, has been interviewed by our very own Rowena Cory Daniells, the author of the King Rolen's Kin trilogy! There's also a great competition going, so click the link and head on over.Juliet McKenna interviewed by Rowena Cory Daniells!
That's two for one on Solaris fantasy authors! The two writers talk about how to maintain a consistent fantasy setting over several books and trilogies, they talk about the idea that fantasy writing and reading is a 'boys' club', and Juliet McKenna reveals where she'd go if she could take a time machine to anywhen and anywhere in the world...
Juliet's Blood in the Water, the second book in the Lescari Revolution trilogy, is now available as an ebook! Solaris are releasing each book in the trilogy on ebook, one per month from March to May this year. Which might dull the agony of the wait for Dangerous Waters a little, we hope...
on Amazon.comon Amazon.co.uk
Irons in the Fire is also available at the iBooks store, and Blood in the Water should be up there too, shortly.
The cover of Dangerous Waters, book one of The Hadrumal Crisis, due to be released this August.

Juliet E. McKenna ebooks: Irons in the Fire
Just a quick announcement to say that the first of our Chronicles of the Lescari Revolution spring ebook releases is now online. You can buy the first book in this stunning fantasy trilogy, Irons in the Fire, now, at amazon.com or amazon.co.uk.
There. Hasn't that brightened up your Monday morning?
The country of Lescar was carved out of the collapse of the Old Tormalin Empire. Every generation has seen the land laid waste by rival dukes fighting for the High King’s empty crown.Tathrin’s parents apprenticed him in the distant city of Vanam to escape the recurrent skirmishes. He meets Aremil, another Lescari albeit from another dukedom, whose parents have their own reasons for sending him so far away. These two young men cannot forget their homeland. Can they persuade other exiles with Lescari blood that something must be done to relieve their kinfolk’s misery? If they can persuade Branca, the down-to-earth scholar, to share the ancient lore which she has studied, then this mismatched band of commoners, merchants and nobles can begin plotting a revolution.
Meanwhile, back in Lescar, Failla, a duke’s beautiful mistress, is risking her own life to help those already secretly working to frustrate their feudal lords’ selfish ambitions. Will Litasse, Duchess of Triolle, and Hamare, the duke’s spymaster, uncover this conspiracy before the exiles can join forces with these hidden rebels? Hamare’s ruthless right-hand man Karn already has his suspicions.
Full of rich characters and high adventure, this novel marks the beginning of a thrilling new fantasy series.

Second Podcast is up now!
Hi all,
The second Abaddon & Solaris Books Pocast is now up! Point your iTunes to this link, or search "Abaddon" (or "Solaris") in the "Search Store" box at the top-right corner of iTunes, to check it out. Or if you're a good boy/girl and subscribed to our feed last time, just run iTunes and it should find and upload the new episode automatically.
The editors and staff at Abaddon Books and Solaris Books continue to deliver the "very best, most hard-hitting and innovative"* of podcasting entertainment in this second, thrilling instalment.
The Abaddon & Solaris Books Podcast #2: Juliet McKenna and the SFX Weekender (okay, it's a functional title; it does what it says on the tin) is introduced by junior editor Jenni Hill, who's trying to overcome her fear of the microphone, so everybody be really nice about her. Jon Oliver interviews Juliet McKenna, author of Solaris's The Chronicles of the Lescari Revolution books, sharing thoughts on coming up with fantasy names, writing and the future of fantasy fiction, and Juliet gives us a reading from the second Lescari book, Blood in the Water. Finally, Jon and David talk about the SFX Weekender, and we hear David's interviews with daleks, authors, and a couple of special guests.
Seriously, you can't get this stuff anywhere else. Barack Obama's considering starting a war with the UK, just so he can justify sending the CIA in to kidnap us. That's how cool we are.
Please listen to it, and once again, we'd love feedback. We got some great feedback last time, and have tried to make completely different mistakes this time.
Cheers,
David
*my mum again.
