We’re delighted to announce Kate Russell has released her first fiction novel, crowd funded using the techniques outlined on this blog. See the following PR release for more: BBC Technology Expert takes the fiction world by storm with her debut novel. Mostly Harmless? Not a bit
Early reports from those reading the eBook have been very positive, and I’ve even had the first 2 complete read reviews on Goodreads:
Dave Vint kindly said “This is an absolutely incredible story. Hilariously, side-splittingly witty…” https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/959387118
And Dave Barker took the time to write a brilliantly thorough review that I thought captured a lot of the themes I was trying to portray. One snippet said “The writing is witty, charming and engaging, with many subtle and some none-too-subtle references and nods to other works of science fiction and fantasy, with a healthy dose of Britishness throughout. This sensibility is perhaps best expressed by the primary planet of the novel, Slough (also a suburban town west of London) whose heavy gravity and depressingly hard industry provide an acute poke at British suburbia.” https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/960220078
So if you have yet to pick up your copy of Elite: Mostly Harmless, hopefully those two reviews give you a flavour of what to expect? You can order the eBook (DRM free and in PDF, MOBI & EPUB formats so you can read it on whatever platform you like!) from the Fantastic Books Store right now. You can also pre-order the paperback, hardback and audiobook formats, plus pick up the other 4 books in the Elite Dangerous series presented by Fantastic Books Publishing.
10% of the proceeds of Elite: Mostly Harmless will go to an awesome UK charity called Special Effect, who help adapt video gaming hardware for people with disabilities to use.
