Book cover for Inside Man
Contrary to what some ill-informed people would have you believe, we’re passionately committed to freedom of speech. We don’t burn books. Only the people who write them.)

Iain M. Banks
“Picking a fight with a species as widespread, long-lived, irascible and — when it suited them — single-minded as the Dwellers too often meant that just when — or even geological ages after when — you thought that the dust had long since settled, bygones were bygones and any unfortunate disputes were all ancient history, a small planet appeared without warning in your home system, accompanied by a fleet of moons, themselves surrounded with multitudes of asteroid-sized chunks, each of those riding cocooned in a fuzzy shell made up of untold numbers of decently hefty rocks, every one of them travelling surrounded by a large landslide’s worth of still smaller rocks and pebbles, the whole ghastly collection travelling at so close to the speed of light that the amount of warning even an especially wary and observant species would have generally amounted to just about sufficient time to gasp the local equivalent of “What the fu—?” before they disappeared in an impressive if wasteful blaze of radiation.”
Iain M. Banks, The Algebraist

Michael Swanwick
“The body, you know, is ninety percent water, and there are those who will tell you that life is only a device which water employs to move itself about.”
Michael Swanwick, The Dragons of Babel

Ryan North
“Before you get your hopes up, Doctor Doom’s suit is both enchanted and powered by magic, and thus sadly beyond the scope of this book. It’s too bad though. It’s a flying suit that fires energy blasts out of its hands, and it has a cape built in.”
Ryan North, How to Take Over the World: Practical Schemes and Scientific Solutions for the Aspiring Supervillain

Michael Swanwick
“You start by reading books, and you end by loving them”
Michael Swanwick, The Iron Dragon's Daughter

Dan Abnett
“For more than a hundred centuries the Emperor has sat immobile on the Golden Throne of Earth. He is the Master of Mankind by the will of the gods and master of a million worlds by the might of his inexhaustible armies. He is a rotting carcass writhing invisibly with power from the Dark Age of Technology. He is the Carrion Lord of the Imperium, for whom a thousand souls die every day, for whom blood is drunk and flesh eaten. Human blood and human flesh – the stuff of which the Imperium is made. To be a man in such times is to be one amongst untold billions. It is to live in the cruellest and most bloody regime imaginable. This is the tale of those times.

Forget the power of technology, science and common humanity. Forget the promise of progress and understanding, for there is no peace amongst the stars, only an eternity of carnage and slaughter and the laughter of thirsting gods.”
Dan Abnett
