"A major talent... I can't wait to see more."
—George R. R. Martin
"Mad English warlocks battling twisted Nazi psychics? Yes please, thank you. Tregillis's debut has a white-knuckle plot, beautiful descriptions, and complex characters-- an unstoppable Vickers of a novel."
—Cory Doctorow
"Tregillis delivers a dynamite first novel in Bitter Seeds."
—SFRevu.com
"...'Bitter Seeds' is hands down the best debut of 2010 so far."
—Fantasy Book Critic
"[Bitter Seeds] receives my highest recommendations and will likely be very close to the top of my best of 2010 list."
—sffworld.com
"As things stand, in this house at least, [Bitter Seeds is] the speculative fiction debut of the year."
—Pat's Fantasy Hotlist
"[Tregillis] has created a unique, unsettling, and deeply atmospheric setting; populated it with a diversity of grimly fascinating characters; and turned up the heat with the sort of plot that requires those characters to keep shoveling frantically if they are ever to stay in advance of the needs of the firebox."
—Elizabeth Bear

Bitter Seeds Audiobook & A Pop-Cultural Interview
Friday, August 27 2010, 03:35 PM

Hurrah!  The audiobook version of Bitter Seeds is now available from Audible.com!  The narrator, Kevin Pariseau, did a terrific job.  And I have to admit he surprised me with how closely he had read the novel, when it came to the details of how various characters spoke.  We had an email conversation about Marsh and Will, and Kevin actually reminded me of a detail I'd forgotten.  Yowsers!

And, unlike me, Kevin can actually do accents and different voices.  So if you're curious about how the novel is supposed to sound, check it out.
