About this author

edit data

I've published seven novels and one book of popular science.

I also edit Arc, a new magazine of futures and fiction developed by New Scientist magazine. Its inaugural issue was published in February 2012 with new work by Margaret Atwood, China Miéville and M John Harrison, among many others.

My latest novel, Dead Water, is set among the tramp lines and pirate syndicates operating on the Indian Ocean. The paperback comes out in May.

I missed this when it came out in Interzone. Damn.
