Nowhither by John C. Wright

The first of the recent Superversive Press releases I will be focusing on is Nowhither, sequel to the Dragon Award-winning Somewhither, which continues Ilya’s epic adventure across multiple insanely imaginitive worlds, featuring weaponised mobius coils, a planet of vampires and a world flooded to unimaginable depths. Both books are now available in both ebook and paperback from Superversive Press. Click on the cover image below to buy the book. Below that is a recording of Ben Wheeler’s interview with John about the book itself.

Speaking of Stunning Cover Art…

The cover art for Jon Del Arroz’s new space opera series was revealed yesterday, and it is a beauty.

Early review copies of this book will be provided to backers of the Starquest crowdfunding campaign at the Templar Squire level and above. With five days of the campaign left to go, it has just reached its third stretch goal, the full funding of the first three books in the series. If you haven’t already, check out the campaign via the button below

Be Part of Making Starquest Happen!

John C. Wright, pulp master extraordinaire, is embarking on a new and glorious project for all space opera fans, inspired in part by his fun review of the Star Wars Episode VII movie that should have been, but now grown into something independent, much larger and more exciting.

You are all invited to be part of making it happen by visiting the above crowdfunding link and adding to the growing crowd of supporters that wish to do battle against the drudgery of imitation space opera. To the stars!

Conservative Libertarian Fiction Alliance Book Bomb!

CLFA_BookBomb_graphic

The Conservative Libertarian Fiction Alliance is running a book bomb for twenty books today and tomorrow (18th and 19th Jul7 2016). Beyond the Mist is one, and two other members of the Superversive Literary movement also feature. A book bomb works by lots of people going on amazon and buying the same book on the same day, which boost’s the book’s rankings in amazon’s algorithms and makes it more visible to potential new readers. The author also gets paid for his work, as it should be. If you already have one of these books, please leave a review on Amazon (even if you don’t have much to say or someone else has already said similar things), as that also helps to boost that book’s visibility in amazon’s recommendations algorithm. If you’ve already done both of those, please tell your friends about this event in any way you can, on your blog, on twitter or facebook or any online community you are part of. (Please do that even if you haven’t bought it yet, spread the word as widely as possible!)

Let’s give these authors a boost! Click on the book picture to read more and buy:
