SHELTER by Dave Hutchinson

Rural English Post-Apocalypse survival for a new generation.

The Long Autumn is coming to an end. For almost a century after the coming of The Sisters, the surviving peoples of rainswept England have huddled in small communities and on isolated farms, scavenging the remains of the old society. But now society, of a kind, is starting to rebuild itself.

In Kent, a brutal tyranny is starting to look West. In the Cotswolds, something terrible and only vaguely-glimpsed is happening. And in a little corner of Berkshire two families are at war with each other.

After decades of simply trying to survive, the battle to inherit this brutal new world is beginning.

HAVEN by Adam Roberts

Young Forktongue Davy has visions; epilepsy, his Ma calls it. He’s barely able to help around the family farm. But something about the lad is attracting attention: the menacing stranger who might be the angel of death himself; the women-only community at Wycombe; Daniel, sent by the mysterious Guz.

They all want Davy for their own reasons. But what use can he be to anyone? He has visions of flight, but how can flight ever be possible in this shattered world?

A simple farmboy, caught up in events beyond his power to control-but his visions may be the key to the future.

Cover Reveal: Cold Water by Dave Hutchinson

We’re thrilled to reveal the striking cover for Cold Water by award-winning author Dave Hutchinson!

This stunningly pertinent thriller is perfect for fans Le Carre, William Gibson and Neal Stephenson, and is a standalone addition to Hutchinson’s renowned Fractured Europe Sequence – Europe in Autumn, Europe in Winter, Europe at Midnight and Europe at Dawn.

The Fractured Europe Sequence is currently in the process of being adapted for TV by the BAFTA-winning and Oscar-nominated team at Studiocanal behind 2011’s Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy starring Gary Oldman.

Cold Water will be released in paperback, eBook and audiobook in September 2022.

In a Europe fractured by a flu pandemic and crippled by economic collapse, the continent has fractured into a hundred tiny principalities of ever-shifting loyalties, borders and covert operations.

For Carey Tews, a former operative with Les Coureurs des Bois – a clandestine organisation of high-risk smugglers – Europe and the coureurs are in her past. Her legend in Hungary is blown six way from Sunday, and even if she could go back to working in Europe, she wouldn’t. That is until an old friend and lover is declared dead in mysterious circumstances. 

 What she doesn’t know is that the investigation will take her to places she couldn’t even imagine.

OUT NOW: Europe at Midnight by Dave Hutchinson (US Reissue)

Image of the Europe at Midnight front cover

We’re extremely excited to wish our stunning new US reissue of Dave Hutchinson’s Europe at Midnight a very happy book birthday! The fantastic second instalment in the Fractured Europe Sequence this visionary novel is multi-award nominated, including for the Arthur C. Clarke and British Science Fiction Awards.

In a fractured Europe, new nations are springing up everywhere, some literally overnight.

For an intelligence officer like Jim, it’s a nightmare. Every week or so a friendly power spawns a new and unknown national entity which may or may not be friendly to England’s interests. It’s hard to keep on top of it all. But things are about to get worse for Jim.

A stabbing on a London bus pitches him into a world where his intelligence service is preparing for war with another universe, and a man has come who may hold the key to unlocking Europe’s most jealously-guarded secret…

The second visionary novel in the Fractured Europe series that began with Europe in Autumn. A thriller of future espionage, murder, parallel realities and terrible secrets. 

Europe at Midnight is as rich and as relevant as its predecessor. It’s funny, fantastical, readable and remarkable regardless of your prior experience of the series.” Tor.com

“Hutchinson’s prose combines the dogged realism of Philip K Dick, the linguistic flair of China Miéville and the vision of Peter Higgins. Europe at Midnight is mind-expanding, accessible yet deeply layered fiction that anything those Pulitzer-, Man Booker- or Hugo-Award-winners could offer.” SF Book

“Hutchinson writes with wit and humanity and remarkable political nous. We sympathise with the characters because it is easy to see ourselves in them, struggling to live an ordinary life in circumstances that are never quite as ordinary as we might like them to be.” Locus

Dave Hutchinson’s multi-award nominated – and twice Clarke Award runner-up – Fractured Europe Sequence returns this November with Europe in Winter

As we’ve now come to expect from the Europe books, Europe in Winter is another thrilling, twisting journey through a shattered Europe, albeit one that is now living side by side with the Community. 

History isn’t what you thought it was, secrets are all around, and the world isn’t a safe place. Yes, this book is every bit as awesome as it sounds – and it’s available for pre-order now!

A Fractured Europe. A Parallel World. A Global Threat.

Union has come. The Community is now the largest nation in Europe; trains run there from as far afield as London and Prague. It is an era of unprecedented peace and prosperity.

So what is the reason for a huge terrorist outrage? Why do the Community and Europe meet in secret, exchanging hostages? And who are Les Coureurs des Bois?

Along with a motley crew of strays and mafiosi and sleeper agents, Rudi sets out to answer these questions – only to discover that the truth lies both closer to home and farther away than anyone could possibly imagine.
