Bitter Seeds
by Ian Tregillis
It's 1939. The Nazis have supermen, the British have demons, and one perfectly ordinary man is caught in-between.
On the eve of World War II, Raybould Marsh is a British spy tasked with uncovering a Top Secret German program that could be the key to their war strategy. His search leads him to a group of men and women whose minds and bodies have been manipulated by science twisted in pursuit of unnatural, superhuman abilities. How can the Allies hope to fight enemies that can ghost through solid walls, ignite an inferno without lifting a finger, and crush tanks with a single thought?
Marsh rallies the secret warlocks of Albion to commune with Eidolons, cosmic entities to whom humankind is little better than vermin, to stave off the impending invasion. But as the blood price of Britain's defense grows, he discovers the Nazis' most dangerous weapon could be a mad clairvoyant intent on manipulating the future to her own ends . . . and who has a particular fascination with Marsh.
MidWorld Press is excited to present our signed, limited edition of Bitter Seeds by Ian Tregillis. This is the first book in the gripping Milkweed Triptych, an alternate history epic that begins just before World War II, combining science-fiction, action-adventure and Cosmic weirdness. The wraparound dust-jacket art and interior illustrations are the work of Hugo and Chesley Award-winning artist Julie Dillon.
Also included in our edition, is the short story “What Doctor Gottlieb Saw”.
This special edition is signed by the author and limited to 500 hand-numbered copies.
