Hail Mighty Readers,
Our friends at Gollancz have let us know about some stunning news. After all we all know that with budgets getting tighter every day, some of life's pleasures have to suffer. Yet worry not.
For Gollancz have announced this:
"The science fiction and
fantasy imprint of the Orion Publishing Group has decided to reduce the price
of the eBook editions of six stunning debut novels to £1.99 for the week of
publication. All pre-orders and purchases for these titles, made up to a week
after publication, will cost the reader less than a cup of coffee.
Gollancz
has a tradition of discovering new writers in the science-fiction and fantasy
genre. Over the years they have been proud to launch the careers of authors
including Ben Aaronovitch, Joe Abercrombie, Elspeth Cooper, Elizabeth May,
Suzanne McLeod, Hannu Rajaniemi and Alastair Reynolds, and of course the adult
fantasy debut of Joanne M. Harris. Gollancz are confident that all of
their 2014 debuts are equally exceptional
new talents and want to share these remarkable novels with as many readers as
possible.
Darren Nash, Digital Publisher at Gollancz,
writes:
“When we publish a debut novel, we’re very aware
that we’re asking readers to take a chance on something new, rather than spend
their money on an established author they know they’ll enjoy. That becomes even
more challenging at a time like this, when money doesn't stretch as far as it
used to. So, we’ve decided to help. We're
confident that all of our debut authors are wonderful new talents that you
should read – so confident, in fact, that we're prepared to put our money where
our mouth is and make it possible for you to try these books for less than the
price of a Saturday newspaper.”
The Gollancz
debuts that will be included in this initiative are The Boy With the
Porcelain Blade by Den Patrick, In Dark Service by Stephen Hunt, Barricade
by Jon Wallace, The Seventh Miss Hatfield
by Anna Caltabiano, The Incorruptibles by John Horner Jacobs and The
Relic Guild by Edward Cox.
