| Lady of Mazes a SCI FI Essential Book |
Posted by Karl on Friday July 29, @01:42PM
Tor Books and the SCI FI Channel have teamed up to promote a monthly selection of new titles, called the SCI FI Essentials. I'm delighted to announce that Lady of Mazes has been selected to be the August, 2005 SCI FI Essential title.
Tor and SCI FI have written a press release describing the programme (see attached). To quote from the press release:
-
Each month, one carefully selected Tor title will receive the SCI FI Essential stamp of approval, which will appear on the spine and cover of the book. Tor readers, the SCI FI audience, and new fans will benefit from an array of special features promoting the new books. These features may include live author chats on SCIFI.COM, and sample chapters and sneak peeks of upcoming books in the program on the site www.scifimonthlypick.com. Possible promotional plans to support the SCI FI Essential program may also include promotion on SCI FI’s handheld AvantGo channel, highlights in the SCI FI Magazine books section and on-air coverage of select titles.
"We are very excited about our new partnership with Tor books and the creation of the SCI FI Essentials program,” said Adam Stotsky, SCI FI Channel's Senior Vice President of Marketing. “This is a terrific opportunity to extend the SCI FI brand deeper into the world of publishing."
"Tor and SCI FI represent the best the genre has to offer in the worlds of publishing and television,” added Craig Engler, General Manager of SCIFI.COM and SCI FI Magazine. “You can bet these titles are going to be exceptional reads from visionary authors."

Needless to say I'm thrilled to have LOM designated a SCI FI Essential book. Thanks to Tor and the people at Sci Fi for having faith in the book!

Reviews
“Bulging with complex ideas and extrapolations … amazing.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“Depth and breadth to a book that many will want to reread
to get all the nuances.”
—Publishers Weekly
“Schroeder continues to improve his unique blend of hard SF and vivid, dreamlike
prose and bids fair to become a major genre voice.”
—Booklist
“His lively writing style and cutting-edge visions combine
to deliver a topnotch story.”
—Library Journal
“The most thought-provoking and interesting work of hard SF that
I've read in the past year."
—Charles Stross
"With paradigm shifts one inside another like a set of Russian dolls, this splendid novel propagates into a demolition derby of Big Ideas. Required post-human reading.”
—Scott Westerfeld, author of The Risen Empire
“An astonishing saga. One helluva read!”
—Charles Harness
“Karl Schroeder has always had a knack for intelligent and provocative thought experiments disguised as space opera. Now he ups the ante with a fascinating riff
on consensual [and conflicting] realities. Lady of Mazes contains more
cool ideas than Ventus and Permanence combined.”
—Peter Watts
