Cover Reveal & Angry Robot Rebranding Announcement

I’m very excited to be participating in Angry Robot’s rebranding and cover reveal event! Hot off the digital presses—and one of the first Angry Robot books to sport the shiny new logo—in celebration of the new logo and website, I’m thrilled to present the cover of Mercury Rising by R.W.W. Greene, to be released in May 2022:

Cover Designer: David Leehy

Alternative history with aliens, an immortal misanthrope and SF tropes aplenty

Even in a technologically-advanced, Kennedy-Didn’t-Die alternate-history, Brooklyn Lamontagne is going nowhere fast. The year is 1975, thirty years after Robert Oppenheimer invented the Oppenheimer Nuclear Engine, twenty-five years after the first human walked on the moon, and eighteen years after Jet Carson and the Eagle Seven sacrificed their lives to stop the alien invaders.

Brooklyn just wants to keep his mother’s rent paid, earn a little scratch of his own, steer clear of the cops, and maybe get laid sometime in the near future. Simple pleasures, right? But a killer with a baseball bat and a mysterious box of 8-track tapes is about to make his life real complicated…


Angry Robot Books Unveil New Logo and Website

Angry Robot Books are proud to reveal their new logo, designed by Kate Cromwell, which comes as part of an overall rebranding including the launch of an upgraded website, enabling the direct sale of physical books.

Formed in 2009, Angry Robot Books have undergone some key adjustments throughout the years but, since joining Watkins Media in 2014 and coming under the leadership of Associate Publisher Eleanor Teasdale in 2019, the award-winning science fiction, fantasy, and genre-boundary pushing company is thriving. This new logo represents the history of Angry Robot Books whilst simultaneously looking forward.

With initiatives such as Clonefiles – offering free ebooks to any independent bookshop physical purchase – Angry Robot Books have a cherished legacy of serving the book-buying public, and this new, upgraded website with physical sales capacity, deepens the direct connection between publisher and customer.

These developments come at an exciting time for Angry Robot Books as summer 2021’s runaway hit, The Coward by Stephen Aryan, is already in its third reprint and the October super-lead, Un-su Kim’s The Cabinet, continues to bask in reviews including selection for the Best Science Fiction of 2021 in The Washington Post. With 2022 books crossing geographical, figurative, mythological, and atmospheric borders, the future is bright for Angry Robot Books as highlighted in the recent survey of genre for 2022 at Library Journal which so prominently featured a range of the imprint’s titles and authors.

      I actually never thought about a publisher NOT being able to sell books on their website, so this is awesome:-)

  1. I hope Angry Robot continues to do well. And I enjoy books about simple folks trying to live simple lives who keep getting kicked around by a larger reality. 🙂

  2. Angry Robot has been generous to me in terms of eARCs, and they do publish some cool stuff! The new logo is very neat, and I wish them all the best in their future endeavours!
