Praise for the
Milkweed Triptych
"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 on Bitter Seeds
"Ian Tregillis triumphantly concludes his astonishing, brilliant, pulse-pounding debut trilogy, The Milkweed Triptych."
Cory Doctorow on Necessary Evil
"Tregillis' conclusion of the Milkweed Triptych is the pièce de résistance of the series. Necessary Evil is a perfect marriage of science fiction, fantasy and alternate history."
RT Book Reviews (4.5 stars, Top Pick) on Necessary Evil
"Darkly fascinating…A thoroughly fascinating conclusion to an imaginative tour de force."
Kirkus on Necessary Evil
"A cross between the devious, character-driven spy fiction of early John le Carré and the mad science fantasy of the X-Men... Despite the jaw-dropping backdrop and oblique plotting, the narrative is driven by character and personal circumstance...
Grim indeed, yet eloquent and utterly compelling."
—Kirkus on The Coldest War
"The characters come alive via [Tregillis's] imaginative dialogue and his storyline will keep readers spellbound and on the edge of their seats with an intense sci-fi/alternate history thriller plot."
RT Book Reviews (4.5 stars, Top Pick) on The Coldest War
"Well-drawn characters and a feel for time and place make this an excellent journey into an alternate Britain."
—Library Journal on Bitter Seeds
"Engrossing... Tregillis ably mixes cold war paranoia with his mythology."
Publishers Weekly on The Coldest War

Weather, part 2

I should have known better than to feel smug about my ability to bundle up for cold weather.  But I didn't, and the gods always punish hubris.

Which in this case means I came home this afternoon to find an inch of water on my kitchen floor, courtesy of a broken pipe.

So that was super awesome.

That's a massive pain. Is there a basement to accentuate the pain? Good luck with the clean-up.

Why do January and February feel like they are a year long? Just keep reminding yourself that spring does come.

Re: Un fun - Ian, Friday, February 4 2011, 11:36 AM
Thanks. I'll take that luck.

They don't do basements here, which I suppose is a blessing in disguise now, although I found it strange when I first moved here. (Having come from the fringes of Tornado Alley in the Midwest.)

So at least I didn't come home to a brand new swimming pool in the basement. I was able to sweep/squeegee the water out the back door.

I've *always* hated February for as long as I can remember.

From now on, I'm always wearing my handmade trash-bag poncho whenever I'm in the house.
