The War of the Givens

Available now!

At long last, the final book of the Silvers series is here in softcover, e-book and audiobook format. Listeners of the first two audiobooks will be pleased to know that narrator Rich Orlow is back to lend his amazing talents.

You can buy the book now at all the usual places: Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books A Million, Google, iBooks, Kobo.

For those who’ve been away from the series for a while, I’ve updated this website with a beefed-up character guide to help you remember who’s who’s in the story, and where the major characters left off at the end of The Song of the Orphans. There’s also a glossary of all the unique terms and references that were introduced in the first two books of the trilogy.

The Song of the Orphans

The second book of the Silvers trilogy, which Kirkus Reviews called one of the best sci-fi books of 2017.

If it’s been a while since you read The Flight of the Silvers, and you don’t know your aeris from a hole in the ground, don’t worry. I’ve created some helpful recap materials of the first book, including a badly-iillustrated plot summary, a character guide, and an Altamerican glossary.

For those of you who already read the book and have burning questions about it, the Song of the Orphans reader’s FAQ is now officially live.

For more general information about this big fat beast of a sequel, go to the info page.

The Flight of the Silvers

The first book in the Silvers series. Two sisters and four strangers, plucked from their world at the cusp of apocalypse and transported to an Earth they barely recognize. An unprecedented tragedy in 1912 has set history on a different path. Restaurants float through the air like flying saucers, while common household appliances bend the fabric of time. Afflicted with temporal powers they never wanted, and hunted by enemies they never knew they had, the six otherworldly refugees are forced to work together to stay alive. Their only hope: to cross a radically-changed United States and find the one man who can help them.

Slick

My debut novel, a comedic tale of lies, tricks, and public relations in the pre-social media age. There isn’t a shred of science fiction to be found in this book, but if you like stories about shrewd young publicists and out-of-control media hoaxes, then this one’s for you.

Slick was originally published by Random House/Villard in 2005, but I got the rights back and now I’m releasing it independently through Amazon.

The big day is here!

You waited and waited, and then waited some more. And now The War of the Givens is finally available worldwide!

For those of you looking to reacquaint yourself with the story details, the glossary and character guide have been updated to include the important information from The Song of the Orphans. As for a synopsis, I had an impossible time summarizing a book like that in any kind of meaningful way. My attempts were either as long and dense as the novel itself, or were so damn flimsy and full of omissions that they’re of absolutely no use to anyone.

But between the expansive new character guide, the updated glossary, and all the recap info I weaved into The War of the Givens, you should have everything you need to jar your memory.

Still, I said it before and I’ll say it again: the best way to get your head back into the world of the Silvers is to re-read (or at least skim) Books 1 and 2 again.

Thank you all again for your support and patience over the years. There were honestly times that I’d never thought I’d get to this wonderful day, but now here we are.

Enjoy the grand finale of the Silvers series.
