‍The eighth Terrible World novella, The Hungry Gods, has now been released. 

‍

‍This is the story of a fallen and ruinous Earth that sees the return of the great trillionaire tech moguls, who are back from ruining space. This is the first of the Terrible Worlds: Innovations trio. Like the others, this is a set of independent stories organised around a linking theme. The Hungry Gods is themed about runaway technological advances – perhaps the most classic of all SF themes, going all the way back to Rossum’s Universal Robots and Frankenstein.

They are now collected in an omnibus edition, Terrible Worlds: Revolutions which is currently including in Storybundle’s Best of British SFF 2025 bundle here along with a range of other great titles.

‍Walking to Aldebaran, One Day All This Will Be Yours and Put Away Childish Things are the Destinations set, themed around journeys to terrible, isolating places. Solaris has just announced that the Terrible Worlds: Destinations omnibus will be available next year. 

‍Exciting news as Universal Pictures announces it will be developing Adrian's novella Saturation Point (2024 Winner of the British Science Fiction Award) for the big screen. 

‍The deal includes script writer, Minnie Schedeen, and will be produced in collaboration between Cynthia Erivo and Solome Williams (Edith's Daughter) and Michael Bay and Brad Fuller (Platinum Dunes) with the executive producer being Alex Ginno.
