YOON HA LEE is a writer and mathematician from Houston, Texas, whose work has appeared in Clarkesworld , Lightspeed and The Magazine Of Fantasy and Science Fiction . He has published over forty short stories, and his critically acclaimed collection Conservation of Shadows was released in 2013. He lives in Louisiana with his family and an extremely lazy cat.

In the near future Dr. Holland, a scientist running from a painful past, joins the Mars colonisation effort, cataloguing the remnants of Mars’ biosphere before it is swept away by the terraforming programme.

When an artefact is discovered deep in the caverns of the red planet, Holland’s employers interfere, leading to tragedy. The consequences ripple throughout time, affecting Holland’s present, and the destiny of the red planet.

For in the far future, Mars is dying a second time. The Final War of men and spirits is beginning. In a last bid for peace, the disgraced Champion Val Mora and his ‘spirit’ lover are set free from the Arena to find the long-missing Librarian of Mars, the only hope to save mankind.

Holland’s and the Champion’s lives intertwine, across the millennia, in a breathtaking story of vast ambition.

“ Champion of Mars celebrates all that is best in SF. Simply put, Guy Haley is a very good writer, with an infectious love for sci-fi that shines off every page.”

The Guardian

“Haley weaves two tales into a tight, compelling narrative. Champion of Mars is a thriller, an unnatural mystery and a strange sort of love story. Highly entertaining and original, and well worth a look.”

Paris was supposed to save Hallie. Now… well, let’s just say Paris has other ideas.

There’s a strange woman called The Chronometrist who will not leave her alone. Garbled warnings from bizarre creatures keep her up at night. And there’s a time portal in the keg room of the bar where she works.

Soon, Hallie is tumbling through the turbulent past and future Paris, making friends, changing the world—and falling in love.

But with every trip, Hallie loses a little of herself, and every infinitesimal change she makes ripples through time, until the future she’s trying to save suddenly looks nothing like what she hoped for…

“A high-flying novel of love and peril—sheer page-turning entertainment that hooked me with its wit from the first sentence.”

Helen Marshall, World Fantasy Award-winning author of Gifts for the One Who Comes After

“A glittering novel of time travel that you’ll want to devour like a mille-feuille in one single bite. I loved it.”

Lavie Tidhar, World Fantasy Award-winning author of A Man Lies Dreaming and Central Station
