2025 Philip K Dick Award News

Finalists Announcement

Adrian is absolutely delighted to be nominated for this award, which features an annual shortlist that highlights the best and more original of new work. He says, "It’s a great honour to be including in this stellar list. Alien Clay is, frankly, a weird book touching on twisted states of mind and brutal encounters with authoritarianism. I hope in some small way it shares territory with the writing of the man himself."

Coming Soon

Shroud (End Feb release, standalone novel) – Shroud is utterly hostile to human life: dark, freezing, toxic and with an ecology that screams on every band of the electromagnetic spectrum. Meaning if you crash on it, there’s no way you can signal your ship to let them know you’re still alive… for now.


The Hungry Gods (August release, standalone novella, Terrible Worlds: Innovation) – after human society finally falls over, those great genius billionaires come back from space to lord it over the ruins. Hilarity ensues.

 

Bee Speaker (June release, novel, Dogs of War book 3) – What Bees Did Next, how Mars worked out after Earth fell. Projecting the timeline of Dogs of War and Bear Head into a dystopian post-tech future where a Martian invasion might be the only way to save the Earth.

 

Lives of Bitter Rain (October release, novella, Tyrant Philosophers 3.5) – A novella detailing the early career of Angilly in the world of Pallaseen espionage and dirty tricks.

 

There should be some more short fiction as well, but in particular I have a story in the upcoming anthology Of Shadows, Stars and Sabers that I’m particularly fond of. This is ‘Holy Fools’ and – while it can be read on its own – tells of what Yasnic was doing between City of Last Chances and House of Open Wounds.
