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

My friend and colleague, E. E. Giorgi, is a mathematician by day and a novelist by night.  (Keep your eyes open for the Chimeras books.  They are destined for great things.)   EEG also maintains a blog that features interviews with interesting writers who juggle creative and technical endeavors in different parts of their lives.  (Witness the recent interview with multi-award-nominee and writing powerhouse Aliette de Bodard.)

The really fascinating people weren't available this week, but I did my best to be a decent followup to Aliette's interview.  Our conversation is posted here.

I thank my interview host for making me sound halfway intelligent and coherent.  (Let's add "answer interview questions" to that long list of things I do when the insomnia keeps me up all night.)  That probably wasn't an enviable task.

And speaking of our interview host, I do have to wonder about somebody who seems so nice and normal on the outside yet whose writing shows a vast knowledge of serial killers....

Good interview & site - Steve Halter, Thursday, September 15 2011, 10:27 AM
That is a good interview. We do, clearly, need more ice ships.
Thanks for the tip on the Chimera books. I'm quite looking forward to that.

Ha! - EEGiorgi, Thursday, September 15 2011, 10:30 AM
So, I went "AWWWWWW" throughout your post, then came to the end and... laughed out loud, which was okay, because I wasn't drinking coffee (laughing out loud while drinking coffee tends to be a little harsh on keyboards), but still, I sit in a cubicle, you know, and people hear...

Okay, jokes aside. Thank you, you're too kind. It was a pleasure to have you over at CHIMERAS. :)

You guys are too nice. Thank you, Steve! I also look forward to seeing my book cover on your fantastic blog (I keep reading your reviews and wishing I had 48 hours in a day so I could use the extra 24 to read!), though I should warn you it's going to be a while... In this biz patience is of the essence.

Ships of Ice - Bob McKeand, Friday, September 16 2011, 06:34 PM
So I searched "ships made of ice"
The results: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=ships+made+of+ice

You are Number 23.

Peace, Bob
