Pyr gets new McDonald collection; reprints from Abercrombie and Lloyd

Editorial Director Lou Anders reports that Pyr will be publishing a short story collection by Ian McDonald entitled Cyberabad Days. "All the stories to date are set in the world of River of Gods, and there will be a 25,000-word original novella to round it off." It isn't definite, but the book will probably be out in early 2009.

Anders also acquired US rights to Joe Abercrombie's The Last Argument of Kings and Tom Lloyd's The Stormcaller, both from and originally published by Gollancz. Both of these should be published in Spring 2008.
