Month: March 2014

Gollancz is thrilled to report that two of our titles have been shortlisted for the Arthur C. Clarke award, the UK’s most prestigious SF award:

The Adjacent, by Christopher Priest
The Disestablishment of Paradise, by Phillip Mann

They were joined on last night’s shortlist by:

Ancillary Justice, by Ann Leckie (Orbit)
Nexus, by Ramez Naam (Angry Robot)
God’s War, by Kameron Hurley (Del Rey)
The Machine, by James Smythe (Blue Door)

Congratulations to all of the authors, and we look forward to discovering the identity of the winner on the 1st of May at the award ceremony! Thanks to the judges and organisers, too, for an interesting and varied list.

We’re delighted to reveal the cover for our July debut, The Seventh Miss Hatfield by Anna Caltabiano. Anna was only 17 when she wrote this book and I hope that you will be as entranced and impressed with it as I – and the rest of the team here at Orion – were.

This beautiful cover was created and designed by the fantastic Sinem Erkas, and we’re very grateful for her fine work. There’ll be lots more about this book coming out as we near publication – and Anna will be over in the UK to launch the book !

As one of 2014’s Gollancz debuts, we will also be offering the ebook at the reduced price of £1.99 from now until the first week of publication. Look for it to appear on your favourite e-retailer soon!

 Who is Miss Hatfield? Elderly neighbour or girl next door . . .

Today is the day! We are so delighted to unveil the cover for the first title in a brand new series by Charlaine Harris.

Perfect for fans of any of Charlaine Harris’ superb series to date, this is a sharper, darker mystery than any we’ve seen so far, and it’s packed with characters who are familiar, and some who are new.

There’s a lot to look forward to, so just remember: everything starts at Midnight . . .
