This event starts with a Brave New Words reading from Joanna Corrance
Authors rarely stick to one genre, but few are as prolific, diverse or successful as Cassandra Khaw and Adrian Tchaikovsky.
Her horror series Gods and Monsters and Person Non Grata gained Cassandra Khaw as much of a following as her work in games and tabletop writing. Her first SF novel The All-Consuming World, an exploration of humans and machines, is out this summer, with new horror novel Nothing But Blackened Teeth following in the autumn. Not to mention the plethora of award-winning short fiction.
Adrian Tchaikovsky’s new book Shards of Earth, a high-stakes space-based adventure story, is the start of a new space opera, but only one of at least six books out in 2021. From Bear Head, the follow-up to Dogs of War, to novellas One Day This Could All be Yours and The Expert System's Champion, 2021 has already been an excellent year for his fans - and it’s barely April.
