ike Resnick’s Starship: Mutiny, the first book in his Starship series, has just appeared for the Kindle. This is good, given that books 2 and 4 have been up a while. Also, before you say it, other ebook formats are coming soon!
This is Mutiny, Mr Christian!! Read More »
A batch of eight more Pyr books has been Kindle-ized (though one is only listed as pre-order. Didn’t know they’d do that with ebooks.)
They are:
Justina Robson’s Chasing the Dragon (Quantum Gravity, Book 4)
Sean Williams’ The Crooked Letter: Books of the Cataclysm: One
Chris Roberson’s End of the Century
Gardner Dozois’ Galileo’s Children: Tales Of Science VS. Superstition
Sean Williams’ The Hanging Mountains
Alexis Glynn Latner’s Hurricane Moon
Theodore Judson’s The Martian General’s Daughter
Matthew Sturges’ Midwinter
Again, no control of the order in which Amazon puts these things up. It is apparently based at least partially on demand, as logged by their “I’d like to read this book on Kindle” button. Click often.

That’s right. After what for me has been an interminably long period of “hurry up and wait,” I woke up this morning to discover that our very first Pyr Kindle books have miraculously appeared. Five titles are available for download in the Kindle store. Oddly, it contains a second book in a series and a third book in a series, but I think these are just the first few to appear. There are a lot more coming in back of this, and the conversion process is on Amazon’s end, so I expect we’ll see more pop up in the near future as they get to them (and I’ll report here as I see them.) Meanwhile, many will be happy to learn that the often-requested Infoquake is in this first list of offerings.
The books:
Going Under (Quantum Gravity, Book 3)

As you’ve probably already heard on Boing Boing or SF Signal or Bookspot Central, and as I’ve already Tweeted and Facebooked:
From opposite sides of death, the Castillo twins grapple with a reality neither of them suspected, although it has been encoded in myths and legends for millennia. The Earth we know is just one of many “realms”, three of which are inhabited by humans during various stages of their lives. And their afterlives…
In the tradition of Philip Pullman and Ursula K. Le Guin and inspired by numerous arcane sources, the Books of the Cataclysm begin in the present world but soon propel the reader to a landscape that is simultaneously familiar and fantastic.
See why SFFWorld said:
“[E]xplores the nature of life, death, and reality. Big subjects, but with the precision of an archaeological expert, Williams is more than up to the task. There is a lot to admire in Williams’ epic fantasy, the wide range of global religions and myths of which his afterlife is comprised, to the characterization of the protagonists. The story has the mythic resonance of Neil Gaiman’s Sandman and American Gods, the dark fantasy/horror one might associate with something like Stephen King’s Dark Tower saga, the multiple universes/realities of Moorcock’s Eternal Champion mythos, and the strange, weird creatures one might associate with China Miéville’s Bas-lag novels. Williams imagined world is equal part those novels which preceded his, but fortunately, there is enough newness to both the approach and vision to make this the work of a singular vision….” [R]eading many of the other titles Lou Anders has published with Pyr, I shouldn’t have been surprised with both the quality of the writing and the breadth of Williams’ imagination. Like a lot of the other books published by Pyr, Williams captures what makes a tried and true genre like Epic Fantasy so popular and enjoyable of a genre and spins a tale with his unique voice. This is the type of book you finish and can’t wait to read the sequel.”
