Cover reveal of V.R. Ling’s new satirical science fiction novel Paradox Lost, out 14th August. Why haven’t we met any alien species yet, if they are so likely to exist? Because they’ve blackballed us from joining the intergalactic community.

Cover image for Paradox Lost by V.R. Ling. Cover art by Alison Buck and NASA. Against a starry black background, a NASA image of the Earth with a greenish alien hand holding a shiny black ball in front of it. Two quotes are included “gripping sci-fi with a darkly humorous flip side” and “a thrilling story”.

Out today: The Cedar & The Sapphire by Miles Nelson, the delightful sequel to his The Forge & The Flood. Continuing the story of the Lutra and the Ailura, and especially Indigo and Sienna, the book is once again about love and hope, and those who support you when you're struggling.

Cover image by Miles Nelson, for his The Cedar & The Sapphire. On a white background, two animals sit facing away from the viewer between grass and yellow flowers. On the left is a Lutra (like an otter) with blue fur dappled with light grey speckles. On the right is an Ailura (like a red panda) with a brown coat and a bushy tail ringed with white stripes. The two animals are snuggled together, tails intertwined.
