They've also announced that it and the rest of the trilogy is to be published by Orbit in the US. The second volume, The Corporation Wars: Insurgence is due to be published in December 2016, and the third (provisionally titled The Corporation Wars: Emergence) in spring 2017.
Will the U.S. release date also be in May 2016? I expect the LFS will want to take a close look at it. . . .
ReplyDeleteThe ebook will be on sale May 2016 in US - link in post.
ReplyDeleteGreat news Ken, thoroughly excited for this! And a trilogy to boot!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I've passed the word to my fellow LFS best novel judges, and one of them has preordered it already.
ReplyDeleteEntirely OT: What's your take on the catastrophic botch-job in Venezuela, Ken?
ReplyDeleteQuick q. Naming a character Kohn in Star Fraction . . any connection to Adolph Kohn?
ReplyDeleteRe Venezuala - I don't know enough to have a take.
ReplyDeleteAdolph Kohn - no conscious connection, and no deliberate allusion. I must have read 'The Monument' by Robert Barltrop long before I wrote The Star Fraction, so the surname may have stuck from there, but I doubt it.
Cheers for taking the time to reply.
ReplyDeleteImposs1904 - Just to make up for that disappointment, I have a story for you. After a book event for my second novel, The Stone Canal, I was approached by a spry elderly couple who said they were SPGB members. The woman's father had also been a member, and had earlier been a member of the SDF. I said (to them or afterwards, I can't remember) that it was like meeting Jonathan Wilde's parents in real life.
ReplyDeleteLooks great! Can't wait for the book. Well I will, of course.
ReplyDeleteJust got my copy from Forbidden Planet - looking forward to the reader.

Thanks
hey, Ken. read it, quite enjoyed the humour, and the cheerful, scornful shit poking at the various political factions. I brought it here in Auckland, NZ, for $40 Kiwi, if that is of interest to you. Glad i got it, hope for more sometime.
ReplyDeleteThanks, uncletigger - glad you enjoyed it. Next one due later this year.
ReplyDeletei went back to the VERY FINE Auckland bookshop that sold it to me, and gave them a reader review. They make use of on us long term customers, you can carry a book up to them, and simply ask ''what do we know about this'' and receive the collective wisdom.
ReplyDeleteVery glad to hear there is a sequel coming. You have some very interesting thoughts on your blog too.
All those years ago, i loved your The Star Fraction, and you just go on giving us the good stuff. thank you for that 😉
Will get my hands on it shortly - having only recently discovered your work - Thank you.
ReplyDeleteWarm regards,
