It’s such a great feeling to see something you worked so hard on take tangible form. The designer, Henry Sene Yee, did an amazing job capturing the epoch and spirit of the book. I can’t wait to share this story.

THE TEST - A novella

“Thought-provoking and disturbing. A cautionary tale illuminated with dark enlightenment."―Kirkus reviews, starred review“

Britain, the not-too-distant future. Idir is sitting the British Citizenship Test. He wants his family to belong.

Twenty-five questions to determine their fate. Twenty-five chances to impress. When the test takes an unexpected and tragic turn, Idir is handed the power of life and death. How do you value a life when all you have is multiple choice?

February 12, 2019 from TOR.

Coming next February, you can get your Black Mirror fix in book form with new stories by Claire North, Cory Doctorow, and me! I'm so proud to be a part of this. Playing in someone else's universe can be nerve-racking, but this project is SO. MUCH. FUN. I can't wait for you to read it. Black Mirror creator Charlie Brooker said: "All-new Black Mirror stories from exciting authors - that’s a joyous prospect. And they’re appearing in a high-tech new format known as a 'book'. Apparently you just have to glance at some sort of ‘ink code’ printed on paper and images and sounds magically appear in your head, enacting the story. Sounds far-fetched to me, but we’ll see."

The end is near. We have a release date for ONLY HUMAN, book 3 of the Themis Files. Find out how it ends on May 1st, 2018. I want to thank you all for your support and for making the last few years such a wild crazy ride. I encourage you to pre-order. You’ll find links to a bunch of online retailers on the right side of neuvel.net. You can also visit www.thethemisfiles.com, official page of the book series. Oh, and that’s the hand on the printed case for the hardcover :)

A gift!

Right from the start, I’ve been blessed with the most awesome smart-as-Rose, heart-as-big-as-a-Kara’s readers in the known universe. I thank you for that. And I have a little something for you. A lost file from the Themis Archive. A new, unpublished chapter of the Themis Files while you wait for Waking Gods. It’s free! All you have to do is follow the link below.

WARNING!

1. It’s a SECRET! You can tell your friends, family, coworkers, casual acquaintances and people you meet on the train, but that’s it!

2. It’s all part of my great master plan to rule the universe, so you’ll have to sign up for my mailing list to get it. I send an email every couple months to let you know what’s going on with our two-hundred-foot-tall friend. If you’re already on my list, you have to sign-up again but the big computer at the E.D.C. will know and you won’t get duplicate emails.

So! More Themis Files? Just click here.

Thank you!

Sylvain
