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."
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

The good folks at Orbit recently invited me to write a pair of guest posts for their blog. The first has just gone up.
If you'd like to know why people constantly make jokes about Vita-Rays in my presence, or if you'd like to know how many times I've punched Hitler*, it might be worth a read.
(*Answer: 0)
And, as a reminder, there was a wheelbarrow load of updates the other day, including a contest, and weird brain-wave stuff.

If it helps, you still look like Kemal Ataturk to me.

I have to say, when I saw the film I thought the same thing. And we've only met once! (OK, maybe not quite so cinematic-exaggeration scrawny!)

Wow, that's amazing to me. (Was I wearing the spangly outfit with the helmet/mask when we met?)
Now I'm even more befuddled...

Strangely enough, I don't hear that as often as you might think.

No, no spangles. I think it was mostly the facial structure & hair color.
FYI I was the guy at WFC in Columbus a couple of years ago that told you that everyone on the "Years Best Fantasy" panel was spooging about Bitter Seeds.

I think Columbus was also the convention where I got into that bar fight with the Red Skull.
No, seriously though, I remember that -- it was really cool of you to seek me out and let me know. Much appreciated, sir.
