The "Indie" ( yes, I know ) is suggesting that the chaos & infighting & deliberate shit-stirring ( as per Charlottesville ) is deliberate & trending towards a "stste of emergency" or a civil war, in which they can "legitimately" sieze the levers of power. Not quite yet, but it looks as though they are definitely headed that way> (In a nutshell: Ghost Engine was too ambitious to finish on my original schedule, and The Labyrinth Index was growing more and more timely, until they just crossed over.)Ībsolutely no satirical metaphor for the US government's capture by white supremacists here. This change has been in the works for a few months, but I didn't want to pre-announce it until I had it nailed down. We'll be at the Studio Theatre from 7:15pm it's a ticketed event from the main book festival box office.Īnd on Friday August 18th, I'll be back at the book festival for a discussion with Nalo Hopkinson, Ken MacLeod, and Ada Palmer: we'll e at Bosco Theatre (on George Street) from 6:30pm, and again, it's a ticketed event.Īnd finally, the big news: my space opera, Ghost Engine, is being rescheduled for 2019 instead, July 2018 should see publication of The Labyrinth Index, the ninth Laundry Files novel! Publishers will be Orbit in the UK and Tor in the USA (this being the New Normal for the Laundry Files). Tonight, August 16th, I'm appearing at the Edinburgh Book festival with Nnedi Okorafor, Jo Walton, and Ken Macleod. It's probably also at this price in Canada, but not in the UK or Europe-different publishers in different territories.) If you haven't tried the Laundry Files, this book isan entrypoint: why not give it a try? (The link goes to but it should be the same price on iBooks and the Google Play store and Kobo. If you're in the United States and read ebooks, The Rhesus Chart is currently discounted to $1.99. I've been kind of preoccupied, with a funeral in the family and then a world science fiction convention in Helsinki, but I'm finally home and trying to get back to some semblance of normal.
