Hey there Robot Readers,
It’s Penny here, Angry Robot Books’ brand new intern. Hope you’re all well?
You might have heard that the Robot Overloads have been beavering away of late, searching out new authors and books for your pleasure. It’s all been very exciting and we couldn’t be more delighted that Angry Robot Books is back to full steam and ready to fill your bookshelves with all of the most brilliant SF, F and WTF? books around.
This month, we want to shout about a couple of titles that are currently garnering critical acclaim. In fact, they’re so good
For months, the Angry Robots have been working in secret, engineering better, stronger, more powerful publishing schemes. We’ve been patient, turning uncertainty into dedication, conscripting world-class talent into the Robot Collective.
But now, the time has come to reveal our new plans for World Domination!
That’s right, Angry Robot’s back, with two debut novels and a Mass Market re-release of one of our most critically-lauded books, all on sale in the US and CAN today.
Behind every new book published is, not only a happy publisher but also, a delighted author. Some journeys to publication are longer than others, but no matter how long it takes the result is still the same: physical proof of what was once an idea, formed, created, and worked on, probably over and over again. As Ferrett Steinmetz approaches publication day (3 March) for his debut novel, Flex, yesterday Ferrett realised a dream: author copies of his very own book arrived. The wonderful moment was captured on video, but I do warn you…it has been known to induce some tears. Congratulations, Ferrett!
When our publishing schedule picks up again in March 2015, we kick off with some fantastic books: Carrie Patel‘s The Buried Life and Ferrett Steinmetz‘s Flex.
Today, we’re excited to be releasing the cover of Flex, or more specifically to have the fantastic SF Signal do the honours.
Head over to SF Signal and not only will you see this great cover – by Steven Meyer-Rassow – but you can also enter to win one of five ebooks of Flex. I’ll leave you now with this teaser…
