Book Synopsis'Compelling and innovative... Barry takes a story that has been done countless times before and makes it seem original' - Daily MailShe is the ultimate weapon. She once served us. Now she's got her own plans. Once we approached the aliens in peace... and they annihilated us. Now mankind has developed the ultimate killing machine, the Providence class of spaceship. With the ships' frightening speed, frightening intelligence and frightening weaponry, it's now the salamanders' turn to be annihilated... in their millions. The mismatched quartet of Talia, Gilly, Jolene and Anders are the crew on one of these destroyers. But with the ship's computers designed to outperform human decision-making in practically all areas, they are virtual bystanders. The Providence will take them to where the enemy are and she will dictate the strategy in any battle. The crew's only job role is to publicise their glorious war to a sceptical Earth. Social media and video clips are THEIR weapons in an endless charm offensive. THEIR chief enemy is not the space reptiles but each other, and boredom. But then everything changes. A message comes from base: the Providence is going into the Violet Zone, where there are no beacons and no communications with Earth. It is the heart of the enemy empire - and now the crew are left to wonder whether this is a mission of ultimate destruction or, more sinisterly, of ultimate self-destruction...PROVIDENCE is a dazzling, inventive, and thought-provoking new novel from the author of Lexicon.Trade ReviewPraise for Providence * : *Providence is such a blast you almost overlook how clever it is. Like Starship Troopers and 2001: A Sapce Odyssey, it's about the limit of human intelligence, the nature of humanity and the price we're prepared to pay for the survival of the species * Daily Mail *Providence is a light-hearted thriller with a superbly dark, existential sting in its tail * The Times *A quirky, character-driven commentary on the mechanisation of conflict and the sheer perversity of human nature * Financial Times *Compelling and innovative... Barry takes a story that has been done countless times before and makes it seem original * Daily Mail *[A] terrific sci-fi thriller * Publishers Weekly *PROVIDENCE is an absolute treat. Pulls the trick of being both irrepressibly old-school sci-fi and creepily relevant to the data-driven future * Austin Grossman, author of Soon I Will Be Invincible *An astonishing novel! PROVIDENCE is Philip K. Dick and William Gibson fueled by pure adrenaline (with a bit of Spielberg and Ridley Scott thrown in). The brilliant, unstoppable imagination of Max Barry glows on every page of this action-filled, yet emotionally resonant, tale. It will keep you riveted from first page till last. I read in one sitting and I guarantee you'll do the same * Jeffery Deaver, author of The Never Game *Action-packed and unsettling, PROVIDENCE is a sleekly-written parable about the absurdity of war--and the deeply human urge to destroy everything we don't understand, whether it comes from a distant planet or right here on Earth * Annalee Newitz, author of Autonomous and The Future of Another Timeline *I could not put PROVIDENCE down until I'd finished it in one thrilling sitting. This is science fiction at its best-a ship so believably alive and characters so determined, flawed, and compelling that you'll forget you're not also part of the crew * Peng Shepherd, author of The Book of M *PROVIDENCE'S greatest strength - apart from being terrifically entertaining - is its characters. (...) It's Barry's empathy for his characters, his willingness to dig deep into their foibles, that distinguishes PROVIDENCE from most of the golden-age science fiction that inspired it. * Locus *The meat of this is in its human interactions * SciFi Bulletin *Max Barry's excellent novel Providence * New Scientist *Providence is an extremely smart take on an entirely different genre ... page-turning anticipation which pays off beautifully in the final third * SFX *Providence is a meditation ... on the difference between programmed intelligence and the human version. Barry tells a fun and funny story that finds the perfect moments to break your heart in the best ways * Locus *Like Starship Troopers with added brain, this is such a blast you can overlook just how clever and thought-provoking it is * Daily Mail *

Book SynopsisIt is the 147th century; the turning of the Amaranthine new year. In the provinces of the Old World, the giant Elatine's war of liberation has come to an impasse, leaving the wicked monarchy of the First in possession of the throne. In the Vaulted Lands of the Firmament, acolytes have risen up to execute their immortal masters. The opportunistic races of the Prism, intoxicated with greed, have arrived inside every Solar Satrapy to scavenge what's left. In the wild Investiture, on a forgotten water moon, a crew of shipwrecked Privateers come face to face with their greatest terror, and with it the most valuable treasure in all the galaxy. Jatropha, legendary Immortal, must escort his precious charge through the exotic Westerly Provinces, knowing all the world would steal her if they could. Sotiris, his mind fading fast, must set out to find his dear, drowned sister in a land previously unglimpsed by anyone but the dead. Lycaste, now far from home, must journey in strange company to the edge of a tempestuous sea, to the lair of someone so dangerous that even the legendary Amaranthine fear his name. Skyhorse Publishing, under our Night Shade and Talos imprints, is proud to publish a broad range of titles for readers interested in science fiction (space opera, time travel, hard SF, alien invasion, near-future dystopia), fantasy (grimdark, sword and sorcery, contemporary urban fantasy, steampunk, alternative history), and horror (zombies, vampires, and the occult and supernatural), and much more. While not every title we publish becomes a New York Times bestseller, a national bestseller, or a Hugo or Nebula award-winner, we are committed to publishing quality books from a diverse group of authors.Trade ReviewPraise for The Weight of the World: " "This extensive story of the 147th century is filled with spectacular ideas and adventure across the solar system and beyond. . . . a tour de force of universe building and characterization . . . splendid, outrageous and brilliant speculations . . . affording careful readers a complex tale of a possible far future."?Shelf Awareness, reviewed by Rob LeFebvre ?I was hooked from the very beginning . . . Tom Toner paints his characters and worlds beautifully, even when they?re at their ugliest. This is a clever, ambitious, inventive, wondrous series, brilliantly executed, that leaves me wanting more and soon. It might be only February but this is the science fiction novel to beat this year and it most certainly won?t be easy.??For Winter Nights Deeply imagined, deliberately paced, and brain-breakingly opaque (in the best way) . . . while much remains a mystery, Toner's confident style–and the forceful impact on the reader when pieces do fall into place–give the sequel a heft and power that goes beyond the plot twists." –B&N Sci-Fi & Fantasy Blog, "B&N Bookseller's Picks: The Best Science Fiction and Fantasy Books of January 2017" i. �A very complex and multi-layered novel. . . . immense character development and nonstop action. It is definitely not a book that you should read lightly, as the author writes his story in a way that makes you think about and savor every little detail.��Manhattan Book Review, reviewed by Michael Shulman Praise for Tom Toner and The Promise of the Child "To call The Promise of the Child one of the most accomplished debuts of 2015 so far is to understate its weight–instead, let me moot that it is among the most significant works of science fiction released in recent years." –Tor.com "One of the most ambitious and epic-scale pieces of worldbuilding I've read. Reading The Promise of the Child, you feel you're in the presence of an author at the height of his powers. If this is what Toner is like when he's just getting started, I think we can expect great things from him. Utterly absorbing; a tremendous adventure." –Karl Schroeder, author of Lockstep and Sun of Suns "Bold and intense from start to finish, The Promise of the Child is a master-class in innovative, evocative world-building. The entire book buzzes with imagination." –Michael J. Martinez, author of The Daedalus Incident "An amazing debut–a colorful space opera in the post-human tradition of Iain M. Banks, combined with the razor-sharp plotting of Alastair Reynolds. It left me feverish with delight." –Loren Rhoads, author of The Dangerous Type "Humming with energy, this is space opera like you've never seen it before. Absolutely brilliant." –Adam Roberts, author of Salt and Jack Glass "A gorgeously-written, wildly imaginative book. It's like no space opera I've ever read–compelling and addictive." –Will McIntosh, Hugo-award winning author of Soft Apocalypse and Defenders "An amazing debut. Intriguing, disorientating. Like Hannu Rajaniemi's The Quantum Thief or Moorcock's Dancers At The End OF Time, it's told with the heightened vibrancy of a fable, and the melancholic sense of age and decadence so prevalent in Jack Vance's Emphyrio." –Gareth Powell, BSFA Award-winning author of Ack-Ack Macaque "A dizzying mash-up of science fiction and fantasy themes that are both mystifying and entertaining. . .will appeal to readers who enjoy the offbeat end of far-future sf. This is the kind of novel that could develop a cult following." –Booklist Reviews "Ambitious. . .The several 147th-century cultures on display are fascinating. . .The pace picks up as the tale moves toward its end, but this is the kind of book that will most appeal to cerebral readers who can appreciate its characters' many verbal interactions." –Publisher's Weekly "This is the purest example of space opera we've seen in some time. . . .The book is challenging, ambitious, and rewarding, and it's impossible not to admire Toner's wild imagination and carefully constructed world. This thing is bonkers, no question. It's also one helluva debut." –Barnes & Noble, Sci-Fi & Fantasy Blog "Marvelous. . .a space opera of surpassing gracefulness, depth, complexity, and well, all-round weirdness." –Paul Di Filippo, Locus "First rate ... a clever and interesting world, with something new always coming across the horizon, more wonders as yet unreached. I ate it up with a spoon." –Paul Weimer, SFSignal

Book SynopsisGeorge-Étienne and his children have formed The House of Styx, after finding a mysterious artefact on the surface of Venus herself.

This is a must-read." -- Publishers Weekly, starred review * Publishers Weekly *"Awesomely intersectional and packed full of French swear words, The House of Styx is a great scientific adventure!" -- Apple Books Review * Apple Books *"Sometimes nail-biting and always well-paced, The House of Styx is high concept sci-fi that puts characters first—and succeeds by doing so." -- Aurealis * Aurealis *"Künsken has, to my mind, already established a place as one of the best pure ‘hard science’ writers of the current generation, and this book is further evidence of that.” -- Rich Horton, Locus Magazine -- Rich Horton * Locus Magazine *

Book SynopsisKorinna has simple priorities: stay on the Navitas, stay out of trouble, and stay alive. She may be a Redseer, a blind priestess with the power to manipulate space-time, but she is the weakest in her Order. Useless and outcast. Or so she has been raised to believe. As she takes her place as a navigator on an Imperium ship, Korinna’s full destiny is revealed to her: blood brimming with magic, she is meant to become a weapon of the Imperium, and pawn for the Order that raised her. But when the ship is attacked by the notorious pirate Aster Haran, Korinna’s world is ripped apart. Aster has a vendetta against the Imperium, and an all-consuming, dark power that drives her to destroy everything in her path. She understands the world in a way Korinna has never imagined, and Korinna is drawn to her against her better judgment. With the Imperium and the justice-seeking warrior Sahar hot on her heels, Korinna must choose her side, seize her power and fu

This time should be no different . . . but then Orry goes off-script and everything falls apart. Less than an hour later her mark is dead and she's on the run, accused of a murder she didn't commit. Turns out, the pendant Orry stole is more valuable than even she guessed - and a lot of powerful people want it. When she's unexpectedly rescued by loner spaceship captain Jurgen Mender, Orry knows there's only one thing to do. Even Orry can see the madness of pitting an inexperienced grifter, a space-dog well past his prime and an obsolete spaceship against the Imperial Fleet, the worst of the space pirates and the alien Kadiran, who are getting bored with their uneasy truce with humankind . . . But what other choice does she have?Trade ReviewA riptide of excitement, it totally swept me away! * Daniel Godfrey, author of New Pompeii *Dominic Dulley's Shattermoon is big screen space opera at its most entertaining. With a welcome hint of an updated Stainless Steel Rat, Orry Kent makes for an engaging and savvy protagonist. A very impressive debut novel! * Gavin Smith, author of The Bastard Legion *Imaginative world-building . . . a lively sci-fi romp * SFX *For those in need of a gallivant through space with a bunch of mismatched chancers, Shattermoon should be at the top of your list * SciFiNow *This book builds and builds with so much action that it kept me entertained to the very end * Dyslexic Reader *[A] fast paced read from start to finish, a total page turner, which I read almost in one go * Bookish Outsider *A fun and fast-paced heist novel * I Should Read That *The action never lets up, and I found myself racing towards the end to find out what was going on . . .

It reminded me a little of Firefly, Farscape and Star Trek The Next Generation, all of which I loved. * HufflePuffleKitteh on Shattermoon *The book is quite a ride and certainly isn't boring! If you are a fan of action-packed Space Operas with kickass female heroines then I have to say that this book will definitely be your thing and you should check it out * The Geekess on Shattermoon *Shattermoon is such a refreshing read. This is epic space opera that has a 1950s cinema serial quality to it, peopled by characters you give a damn about, worlds that feel as real as your daily commute (but obviously far more exotic and yet grounded) and a story that is so engrossing that reaching the end of it is akin to feeling like someone has unceremoniously slammed on the brakes and stopped a runaway tale that you could have happily stayed involved in forever * Sparkly Pretty Briiiight on Shattermoon *As a bit of entertaining space opera I thoroughly enjoyed my breakneck travel through Dulley's new universe * Review Graveyard on Shattermoon *Shattermoon is a non-stop, action-packed space opera that's full of entertainment and all of the classic ingredients of adventure you might want. On the surface it's a regular mix of bandits, smugglers and imperial navy ships with a sassy heroine, but it quickly takes on a character and charm of its own * GARETH D JONES on Shattermoon *

Book Synopsis"A tense, gripping SF house of horrors in space, where not all the monsters are inhuman. I enjoyed this enormously." — Peter McLean, author of Priest of Bones For two years in deep space, the freighter Demeter and a small crew have collected botanical life from other planets. It's a lesson in patience and hell. Mechanics Ensign Raina is ready to jump ship, if only because her abusive ex is also aboard, as well as her overbearing boss. It's only after a foreign biological creature sneaks aboard and wreaks havoc on the ship and crew that Raina must find her grit - and maybe create a gadget or two - to survive...that is, if the crew members don't lose their sanity and turn on each other in the process. FLAME TREE PRESS is the new fiction imprint of Flame Tree Publishing. Launched in 2018 the list brings together brilliant new authors and the more established; the award winners, and exciting, original voices.Trade Review"If you’re in the mood to be scared, this one is an excellent choice." -- AnalogSF"The action scenes are excellent, and, with page-turning twists and turns, it’s a race to the end to see who will be left standing." -- Booklist“A movie waiting to happen, SCREAMS FROM THE VOID is a clever distillation of all the B-movie tropes we love, but with a fresh sharp edge. A claustrophobic setting, a great monster, and nonstop action starts SCREAMS on a nine and then smashes through the ceiling to a thirteen!” -- Peter Clines, NYT Best Selling Author"A tense, gripping SF house of horrors in space, where not all the monsters are inhuman. I enjoyed this enormously." -- Peter McLean, author of Priest of Bones“SCREAMS FROM THE VOID is a knockout. Tibbets ratchets up the tension to ALIENS-level dread and never lets up. Bursting with memorable characters and shocking moments of violence, this is space-horror done right. Highly recommended!” -- Jonathan Janz, author of Siren and the Specter"With memorable characters, tense pacing, and a scary-as-f*ck enemy, SCREAMS FROM THE VOID is a perfect combination of deep-space horror and feminist fury. Anne Tibbets balances the story of survival with each of her characters’ difficult pasts for a swift and exciting white-knuckle adventure. A terrifying and badass exploration of how fear brings out the best -- and worst -- in all of us." -- Mike Chen, author of WE COULD BE HEROES"Scary sci-fi in the vein of Alien and Escape Velocity, it moves at pace and lurches from twist to turn with satisfying inevitability." -- Concatenation
