Out Today!

 

 

Released today in the UK, the relatively inexpensive paperback edition of War of the Maps, in which a retired lawkeeper sets out to recapture an old enemy, and stumbles into the middle of a strange invasion of his strange, vast world. One of the Washington Post Book World's and the Guardian's science fiction novels of the year.

'The spectacle is undeniable, but it's that rich cast of characters who give their world texture and resonance, and who finally turn War of the Maps into a fine, compelling novel' ― Locus

'Narrative drive and a sense of wonder come together in McAuley's graceful prose'Guardian  


'McAuley is without peer' ― The Times

And over on Twitter, a reader just compared it to Iain M. Banks' fiction; I can think of no higher praise.

I found this to be a truly enjoyable read. It is really unfortunate that your work does not get more attention here in the States. Any more information regarding your newest book, and when it may be coming out?

Hi Philip -- I'm still writing the next novel. Won't be out until sometime in 2022 at the earliest, I should think.
