Solaris to publish debut novella from Rebecca Fraimow
28th October 2022
Solaris is delighted to announce the acquisition of The Iron Children by Rebecca Fraimow, the first of the 2023 Solaris Satellites novellas, to be published in April 2023.
Asher has spent her adolescence preparing to become a Dedicate, one of the telepathically controlled, iron-carapaced soldiers who have kept the Levastani army at bay for decades. When Asher and her party are attacked on a training journey, it’s up to her to lead the unit across a bitterly cold, unstable mountain and discover which of the Dedicates is a traitor.
World English Rights were acquired by Jim Killen, with Amy Borsuk editing, from Bridget Smith at JABberwocky.
Author Rebecca Fraimow on the acquisition:
“I’m so excited to have the opportunity to share this story, and really thrilled that this novella will be included among the amazing and thought-provoking work in Solaris’ Satellites line-up!”
Editor Amy Borsuk:
“I’m delighted to be working with Rebecca on this compelling novella for our Satellite series. She sure knows how to make robot-nuns both completely badass and the basis for thought-provoking storytelling about war and faith.”
