Edward M. Lerner sold Countdown to Armageddon to Baen’s Universe, where it will appear as a seven-part serial. Lerner says the time-travel adventure’s “pivotal event is the battle of Tours (732A.D.), the high-water mark of Islamic incursion into Western Europe.” Installments will run every two months beginning 1 October 2007.
Lerner’s already-published books include the near-future techno-thriller Probe, the first-contact novel Moonstruck, and the cyber-themed collection Creative Destruction. His web site is here.
