The Silver Kings by Stephen Deas– The Silver King, half-god, legend and myth, is returning. Once he fought his brother, the Black Moon, and his dragons, and was defeated. But the Black Moon was also weakened, and a millennia has passed. Humanity has grown used to a world without gods, a world where they were masters of all – including the terrifying dragons. The Silver Kings is the triumphant conclusion to one of the most brutal and wide-ranging fantasy series of recent years. The Silver Kings is out now in trade paperback and eBook. You can find out more about Stephen Deas by visiting his website or following him on Twitter.
S.N.U.F.F. by Victor Pelevin– Already a bestseller in Russia, this book will captivate you from the first page. Damilola Karpov is a pilot. Living in Byzantium, a huge sky city floating above the land of Urkaine, he makes his living as a drone pilot who records the events unfolding in Urkaine or, with the weapons aboard his drone, by making a newsworthy event happen for his employers: ‘Big Byz Media’. His recordings are known as S.N.U.F.F.: Special Newsreel/Universal Feature Film. S.N.U.F.F. is a daring post-apocalyptic novel, exploring the conflict between the nation of Urkaine, its causes and its relationship with the city ‘Big Byz’ above.

Steeple by Jon Wallace– Kenstibec is a Ficial – a genetically engineered artificial life form; tough, skilled, hard to kill. Or at least he was. He’s lost the nanotech that constantly repaired him. Now Kestibec must take a trip to the pinnicle of our failed civilisation. The Steeple is a one thousand storey tower that looms over the wreckage of London. It is worshipped, feared and haunted by attack droids and cannibals. And the location of a secret that just might save Kenstibec’s life. Steeple is out now in trade paperback and eBook.
