fter centuries of stasis, the island kingdom of Charis began to defy the edicts of the Church of God Awaiting—egged on, some say, by the mysterious warrior-monk Merlin Athrawes. Now, in the wars and intrigues that have cascaded from Charis’s declaration of independence, the populous Republic of Siddermark is sliding into chaos. Vicar Clyntahn of the Church of God Awaiting has engineered a rebellion against the Lord Protector—bringing civil war to the nation at harvest time. King Cayleb of Charis, his queen Sharleyan, and Merlin Athrawes will have their hands full trying to stave off wholesale starvation in Siddermark while at the same time shipping in enough land combat units to fend off the “volunteers” from the Church’s Temple Lands. And while Vicar Clyntahn is hailed in the Church for his boldness and audacity, there are those who remember how dependent Church power is on money from Siddermark… and who wonder what will happen if Siddermark starves. Bursting with vivid invention and the sweep of lived history, Midst Toil and Tribulation will build this series’ audience to a new level.

hat happens when The Firm meets Anita Blake? You get the Halls of Power—our modern world, but twisted. Law, finance, the military, and politics are under the sway of long-lived vampires, werewolves, and the elven Alfar. Humans make the best of rule by “the Spooks,” and contend among themselves to affiliate with the powers-that-be, in order to avoid becoming their prey. Very loyal humans are rewarded with power over other women and men. Very lucky humans are selected to join the vampires, werewolves, and elves—or, on occasion, to live at the Seelie Court.

Linnet Ellery is the offspring of an affluent Connecticut family dating back to Colonial times. Fresh out of law school, she’s beginning her career in a powerful New York “white fang” law firm. She has high hopes of eventually making partner. But strange things keep happening to her. In a workplace where some humans will eventually achieve immense power and centuries of extra lifespan, office politics can be vicious beyond belief. After some initial missteps, she finds herself sidelined and assigned to unpromising cases. Then, for no reason she can see, she becomes the target of repeated, apparently random violent attacks, escaping injury each time through increasingly improbable circumstances. However, there’s apparently more to Linnet Ellery than a little old-money human privilege. More than even she knows. And as she comes to understand this, she’s going to shake up the system like you wouldn’t believe….

S THE FORGE OF DARKNESS steven erikson

MARKETING PLANS • National print advertising in science fiction/fantasy publications • online advertising targeting science fiction and fantasy readers • Publicity to include online publicity campaign and author tour • Digital promotion through social networking sites, blogs, and the tor/Forge e-newsletter

teven Erikson entered the pantheon of great fantasy writers with his debut Gardens of the Moon. Now Erikson returns with a trilogy that takes place before the events of the Malazan Book of the Fallen. The Forge of Darkness takes readers to Kurald Galain, the warren of Darkness, and tells an epic tale of a realm whose fate plays a crucial role in the fall of the Malazan Empire. It’s a conflicted time in Kurald Galain, the warren of Darkness, where Mother Dark reigns. But this ancient land was once home to many a power…and even death is not quite eternal. The commoners’ great hero, Vatha Urusander, longs for ascendency and Mother Dark’s hand in marriage, but she has taken another Consort, Lord Draconus, from the faraway Dracon Hold. The idea of this union sends fissures throughout the realm, and as the rumors of civil war burn through the masses, an ancient power emerges from the long dead seas. Caught in the middle of it all are the Sons of Darkness, Anomander, Adarist, and Silchas Ruin of the Purake Hold. Steven Erikson brings to life this ancient and important tale set in the world he introduced in the Malazan Book of the Fallen in a way that should appeal to fans of George R. R. Martin. “ erikson is a master of lost and forgotten epochs, a weaver of —SALON ancient epics.” “ erikson has no peer when it comes to action and imagination, and joins the ranks of tolkien and Donaldson in his mythic vision and perhaps then goes one better.” —SF SITE STEVEN ERIKSON was born in Toronto, grew up in Winnipeg. He spent nearly twenty years working as an anthropologist and archaeologist, which shines quite clearly in the depth and breadth of the various societies, peoples and cultures in his books. He is a graduate of the Iowa Writer's Workshop.

ane Porter is hardly a typical woman of her time. The only female student in Cambridge University’s medical program, she is far more comfortable in a lab coat, dissecting corpses, than she is in a corset and gown, sipping afternoon tea. A budding paleoanthropologist, Jane dreams of travelling the globe in search of fossils that will prove the evolutionary theories of her scientific hero, Charles Darwin.

When dashing American explorer Ral Conrath invites Jane and her father on an expedition deep into West Africa, she can hardly believe her luck. Rising to the challenge, Jane finds an Africa that is every bit exotic and fascinating as she has always imagined. But she quickly learns that the lush jungle is full of secrets—and so is Ral Conrath. When danger strikes, Jane finds her hero, the key to humanity’s past, and an all-consuming love in one extraordinary man: Tarzan of the Apes. Jane is the first version of the Tarzan story written by a woman and authorized by the Edgar Rice Burroughs estate. Its 2012 publication will mark the centennial of the publication of the original Tarzan of the Apes. “ Jane is a triumph! A triumph of imagination, adventure, and character.

The splintery metaconsciousness of the solar system has largely sworn off its pre-post-human cousins dirtside, but its minds sometimes wander…and when that happens, it casually spams Earth’s networks with plans for cataclysmically disruptive technologies that emulsify whole industries, cultures, and spiritual systems. A sane species would ignore these getevolved-quick schemes, but there’s always someone who’ll take a bite from the forbidden apple. So until the overminds tire of stirring Earth’s anthill, there’s Tech Jury Service: random humans, selected arbitrarily, charged with assessing dozens of new inventions and ruling on whether to let them loose. Young Huw, a technophobic, misanthropic Welshman, has been selected for the latest jury, a task he does his best to perform despite an itchy technovirus, the apathy of the proletariat, and a couple of truly awful moments on bathroom floors. “ there’s a superhuman energy and intelligence to Makers that i haven’t seen since mid-period Bruce sterling.” —LEV GROSSMAN, NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE MAGICIANS

In a Fix LiNDA GRiMes the start of an original new urban fantasy series starring human chameleon Ciel Halligan

nagging a marriage proposal for her client while on an all-expenses-paid vacation should be a simple job for Ciel Halligan, aura adaptor extraordinaire. A kind of human chameleon, she's able to take on her clients’ appearances and slip seamlessly into their lives, solving any sticky problems they don’t want to deal with themselves. No fuss, no muss. Big paycheck. This particular assignment is pretty enjoyable…that is, until Ciel’s island resort bungalow is blown to smithereens and her client's about-to-be-fiancé is snatched by modern-day Vikings. For some reason, Ciel begins to suspect that getting the ring is going to be a tad more difficult than originally anticipated.

MARKETING PLANS • targeted print advertising in science fiction/fantasy publications • online publicity campaign

Going from romance to rescue requires some serious gearshifting, as well as a little backup. Her best friend, Billy, and Mark, the CIA agent Ciel’s been crushing on for years—both skilled adaptors—step in to help, but their first priority is, annoyingly, keeping her safe. Before long, Ciel is dedicating more energy to escaping their watchful eyes than she is to saving her client's intended.

Three Parts Dead MAx GLADstoNe A tale of intrigue, a murdered god, and the business of necromancy: an urban fantasy set in an alternate reality

god has died, and it’s up to Tara, first-year associate in the international necromantic firm of Kelethres, Albrecht, and Ao, to bring Him back to life before His city falls apart. Her client is Kos, recently deceased fire god of the city of Alt Coulumb. Without Him, the metropolis’s steam generators will shut down, its trains will cease running, and its four million citizens will riot. Tara’s job: resurrect Kos before chaos sets in. Her only help: Abelard, a chain-smoking priest of the dead god, who’s having an understandable crisis of faith. When Tara and Abelard discover that Kos was murdered, they have to make a case in Alt Coulumb’s courts—and their quest for the truth endangers their partnership, their lives, and Alt Coulumb’s slim hope of survival.

Set in a phenomenally built world in which justice is a collective force bestowed on a few, craftsmen fly on lightning bolts, and gargoyles can rule cities, Three Parts Dead introduces readers to an ethical landscape in which the line between right and wrong blurs. “ Max Gladstone has created a fascinating universe and equally fascinating characters. it's a world in which Magic is Craft, and religion has some very practical rules, and he shows it through the stories of some very interesting characters. this is his first novel. i can't wait for his second.” —JERRY POURNELLE, AUTHOR OF THE MOTE IN GOD’S EYE AND LUCIFER’S HAMMER

rent McCauley is sixteen, brilliant, and obsessed with making movies on his computer by reassembling footage from popular films he downloads from the net. In the dystopian near-future Britain where Trent is growing up, this is more illegal than ever; the punishment for being caught three times is that your entire household’s access to the internet is cut off for a year, with no appeal. Trent’s too clever for that to happen. Except it does, and nearly destroys his family. Shamed and shattered, Trent runs away to

London, where he slowly learns the ways of staying alive on the streets. This brings him in touch with a demimonde of artists and activists who are fighting a new bill that will criminalize even more harmless internet creativity, making felons of millions of British citizens at a stroke. Things look bad. Parliament is in the power of a few wealthy media conglomerates. But the powers-that-be haven’t entirely reckoned with the power of a gripping movie to change people’s minds….

Elsewhens MeLANie RAwN theater, magic, art, and politics all blend in this amazing new high-fantasy series from the imagination of Melanie Rawn

ouchstone, the magical theater troupe, continues to build audiences. But Cayden is increasingly troubled by his “elsewhens,” the uncontrolled moments when he is plunged into visions of the possible futures. He fears that his Fae gift will forever taint his friendships; his friends fear that his increasing distance will destroy him. But worldly success follows them—an apparent loss in the Trials leads to Touchstone being selected to travel to the Continent with a Royal Embassy to collect Prince Ashgar’s new bride. They are the first theater artists to appear outside Albeyn for at least seventy years—for magic is suspect and forbidden elsewhere, and the Kingdom’s easy race mixing and magic use horrifies the people they are to travel among.

Ironskin tiNA CoNNoLLy An enchanting historical fantasy set in the early 1900s, in the aftermath of a war between humans and the fey

ane Eliot wears an iron mask.

It’s the only way to contain the fey curse that scars her cheek. The Great War is five years gone, but its scattered victims remain—the ironskin. When a carefully worded listing appears for a governess to assist with a “delicate situation”—a child born during the Great War— Jane is certain the child is fey-cursed, and that she can help. Teaching the unruly Dorie to suppress her curse is hard enough; she certainly didn’t expect to fall for the girl’s father, the enigmatic artist Edward Rochart. But her blossoming crush is stifled by her scars and by his parade of women. Ugly women, who enter his closed studio...and come out as beautiful as the fey.

Jane knows Rochart cannot love her, just as she knows that she must wear iron for the rest of her life. But what if neither of these things are true? Step by step Jane unlocks the secrets of a new life—and discovers just how far she will go to become whole again. “ A lyrical, beautifully crafted debut. i was particularly taken with the beautifully conceived strangeness of Connolly’s fey-touched, justa-shade-away alternate magical england. A haunting exploration of the true price one must pay for magic, beauty, and love, Ironskin will stay with me for a long time to come.” —M. K. HOBSON, AUTHOR OF THE NATIVE STAR

Hunt uncovered a world of murder and magic that took his daughter from him and nearly cost him his life, but that was only the beginning....

And Wreck’s problems aren’t merely about finding a home. He’s been quietly breaking the cardinal rule of any good drug dealer and dipping into his own supply of the sap he sells. He’s also pretty sure he’s being haunted by the ghost of a kid he used to know—Zeke Wilkes, who almost certainly died six months ago. Zeke would have every reason to pester Wreck, since Wreck got him inside the walled city of Seattle in the first place, and that was probably what killed him. Maybe it’s only a guilty conscience, but Wreck can’t take it anymore, so he sneaks over the wall. The walled-off wasteland of Seattle is every bit as bad as he’d heard, chock-full of the hungry undead and utterly choked by the poisonous, inescapable yellow gas. And then there’s the monster. Rector’s pretty certain that whatever attacked him was not at all human—and not a rotter, either. Arms far too long. Posture all strange. Eyes all wild and faintly glowing gold and known to the locals as simply “The Inexplicables.” In the process of tracking down these creatures, Rector comes across another incursion through the wall—just as bizarre but entirely attributable to human greed. It seems some outsiders have decided there’s gold to be found in the city and they’re willing to do whatever it takes to get a piece of the pie, unless Rector and his posse have anything to do with it. Praise for Boneshaker: ★ “ Maternal love faces formidable challenges in this stellar steampunk tale.... intelligent, exceptionally well written and showcasing a phenomenal, strong female protagonist who embodies the complexities inherent in motherhood, this yarn is a must-read for the discerning steampunk fan.” —PUBLISHERS WEEKLY, STARRED REVIEW

“ A mash-up of action, history, and science that is everything good about steampunk. if you like the genre, you’ll love this, and if you’ve been worried that it’s getting stale or trendy, then you will be thrilled with Priest’s way of taking the formula and turning it inside out. the setting is solid but the characters are what makes Boneshaker sing.” —BOOKSLUT CHERIE PRIEST is the author of Four and Twenty Blackbirds; Boneshaker, the first book in the Clockwork Century series; and several other novels.

All Men of Genius Lev AC RoseN A steampunk retelling of Twelfth Night and The Importance of Being Earnest from an exciting young talent

nspired by two beloved works by literary masters, All Men of Genius takes place in an alternate steampunk Victorian London, where science makes the impossible possible. Violet Adams wants to attend Illyria College, a widely renowned school for the most brilliant up-and-coming scientific minds, founded by the late Duke Illyria, the greatest scientist of the Victorian Age. The school is run by his son, Ernest, who continues his father’s policy that the small, exclusive college remain male-only. Violet sees her opportunity when her father departs for America. She disguises herself as her twin brother, Ashton, and gains entry.

But keeping the secret of her sex won’t be easy, not with her friend Jack’s constant habit of pulling pranks, and especially not when the duke’s young ward, Cecily, starts to develop feelings for Violet’s alter ego, “Ashton.” Not to mention blackmail, mysterious killer automata, and the way Violet’s pulse quickens whenever the young duke, Ernest, speaks to her. She soon realizes that it’s not just keeping her secret until the end of the year faire she has to worry about: it’s surviving that long. one of Amazon’s Best sF/F Books of september, 2011 “ Rosen’s lighthearted debut puts a steampunk spin on the victorian comedy of manners while sneakily critiquing the gender biases of both genres…. Decommissioned robots, mysterious mechanisms, strange squid creatures, blackmail, and a number of vivid characters —PUBLISHERS WEEKLY add up to a great deal of fun.” “ A nimble twist on victorian romance that’s woven into Rosen’s intricate web of attractions, repulsions, and matrimonial machinations. But he never lets his mesh of relationships—or his fluid, playful views of sexuality—overwhelm a sprawl of vibrant, witty characters…. steampunk soap opera, as elevated as it is, isn’t all Rosen has up his sleeve. tackling the genre at its root, All Men slyly examines the psychology and the aesthetics behind the act of human invention.” —THE ONION A.V.

Bard’s Oath JoANNe BeRtiN the long-awaited sequel to the epic fantasy Dragon and Phoenix

or many millennia, the dragonlords, rare humans who can become dragons, have ruled the world. But over the years their ranks have thinned, weakening their authority. And now a more direct threat to their reign has emerged. To avenge the death of the woman he loved, Leet, a master bard, fashions from the wood of the cursed Witch Spruce a new harp with which he can compel others to do his bidding. Using its power to accomplish his bitter task, he sets in motion events that threaten to end the reign of the miraculous changeling rulers and decimate the humans who have depended on their benevolent rule.

When Raven, a bard favored by the dragonlords, is ensorcelled by Leet to commit a heinous crime, he arouses the suspicion of the young dragonlord Linden. As Linden investigates, he comes to realize with horror the true scale of the treachery. Now he must risk himself, those most dear to him, and the ageless legacy of his kind to put an end to Leet’s conspiracy before it topples society and destroys their world. This masterful epic fantasy is as exciting and suspenseful as Joanne Bertin’s previous two Dragonlords novels. Set in a fabulous world of wondrous creatures and bitter betrayals, it will capture readers' hearts with its poignant story of innocent lives at terrible risk.

This journey will take them into the domain of a powerful and monstrous intelligence who claims to be the Last Precursor, and who now has control of both this Halo and the fate of Forerunners and Humans alike. Called the Captive by Forerunners, and the Primordial by ancient human warriors, this intelligence has taken charge of, and retasked, the Master Builder’s cruel researches into the Flood—which it may have itself unleashed on the galaxy more than ten thousand years before.

Peace GeNe woLFe Mesmerizing sci-fi from the author Neil Gaiman calls “possibly the finest living American writer”

All the while Rudy is reading science fiction and beat poetry, and beginning to write some pretty strange fiction of his own—a blend of Philip K. Dick and hard SF that qualifies him as part of the original circle of writers in the early 1980s that includes Bruce Sterling, William Gibson, John Shirley, and Lewis Shiner, who were the founders of cyberpunk. At one level, Rucker’s genial and unfettered memoir brings us a firsthand account of how he and his contemporaries ushered in our postmodern world. At another, this is the wry and moving tale of a man making his way from one turbulent century to the next. “ Nested Scrolls is immensely entertaining, spirited, and deep. this is —GREG BEAR, AUTHOR OF EON Rudy Rucker at his thoughtful best.” “ Rudy Rucker is the most consistently brilliant imagination working in sF today.” —CHARLES STROSS, AUTHOR OF THE MERCHANT PRINCES SERIES “ Like all the best memoirists, Rudy Rucker allows us to glimpse through him the contours of our own lives, and to ponder, a little wistfully, why they couldn’t have been more like his.” —PAUL PARK, AUTHOR OF A PRINCESS OF ROUMANIA

“ travel through a roller-coaster life from the viewpoint of an imaginative boy who grew up to be a mathematician and then moved on into the many-dimensional world of a multi-universe traveling writer. Don’t forget to hang on to the rails.” —DONALD KINGSBURY, AUTHOR OF COURTSHIP RITE

Legends of Zita the Spacegirl

Sailor Twain

written and illustrated by

zACk GiALLoNGo

MARk sieGeL

A rip-roaring fantasy adventure that will remind readers of Conan the Barbarian, Lloyd Alexander, and Bone.

“extraordinary.”—BOINGBOING

BeN HAtke “ we dare you not to smile ear-to-ear when reading this absolutely adorable adventure.” —AM NY ON ZITA THE SPACEGIRL

Zita’s exploits from her first adventure have made her an intergallactic mega-star! But who can you trust when your true self is being eclipsed by your public persona, and you’ve got a robot doppelganger wreaking havoc... while wearing your face? BEN HATKE’s first graphic novel, Zita the Spacegirl, was promptly named an ALSC Notable Book, a NYPL Book for Reading an Sharing, a Kirkus Best Book of 2011, an SLJ Top Ten Graphic Novel of 2011, and a Texas Maverick Graphic Novel.

Broxo is the only surviving member of a tribe of barbarians. He spends his time on the mountain hunting and avoiding the local voracious animated corpses. Everything changes when a beautiful warrior princess arrives on the mountain. They meet, try to kill each other, then save each other from zombies. You know, the usual love story.

“Cryptozoological.”

—GOTHAMIST

One hundred years ago, on the foggy Hudson River, a riverboat captain rescues an injured mermaid from the waters of the busiest port in the United States. A wildly popular—and notoriously reclusive—author makes a public debut. A French nobleman seeks a remedy for a curse. As three lives twine together in an unexpected collision, the mystery of the Mermaid of the Hudson deepens....

ZACK GIALLONGO was born and raised in Massachusetts. Broxo is his first graphic novel.

MARK SIEGEL is the Editorial Director of First Second. He writes and illustrates award-winning books in what remains of his spare time.
