Release of Saturation Point
Just in time for Glasgow Worldcon comes a new story from Adrian called Saturation Point, hot off the press from Solaris Publishing.
The Hygrometric Dehabitation Region, or the “Zone,” is a growing band of rainforest on the equator, where the heat and humidity make it impossible for warm-blooded animals to survive. A human being without protection in the Zone is dead in minutes.
Twenty years ago, Dr Jasmine Marks went into the rainforest with a group of researchers led by Dr Elaine Fell, to study the extraordinary climate and see if it could be used in agriculture. The only thing she learned was that the Zone was no place for people. There were deaths, and the programme was cut short.
Now, they’re sending her back in. A plane crash, a rescue mission, a race against time and the environment to bring out the survivors. But there are things Marks’s corporate masters aren’t telling her. The Zone keeps its secrets, and so does Doctor Fell…

Warhammer News: On the Shoulders of Giants and other stories
An exciting new book is coming soon from Warhammer.
This anthology of short stories opens with a novella-length tale by Adrian which finds Fusil-Major Rosforth consigned to an unlikely friendship after a career-ending injury.
The hard-nosed Dawnbringer must now be carried into battle by Slobda, a vicious man-eating ogor drafted into Sigmar’s service, and their problems only mount when the Skaven spill forth into Ghyran in their millions. Rosforth and Slobda find themselves responsible for a desperate band of survivors fleeing the teeming hordes of plague-ridden ratmen, and they’ll put their partnership to the test getting everyone to safety.
On the Shoulders of Giants and Other Stories also includes other tales from the Mortal Realms penned by Noah Van Nguyen, Liane Merciel, and more.
For those new to Warhammer, this should be entirely approachable as a fantasy story, and a good introduction to the setting.
And also – because how often does an author have this opportunity – here’s a picture of some Warhammer figures representing the main characters of ‘On The Shoulders of Giants’ painted up by Adrian himself.
