Eric Brown sold three “Bengal Station” novels to Christian Dunn at Solaris. The first, Necropath, should be published in Spring 2009. It will be followed by Xenopath and Cosmopath. The stories feature “Jeff Vaughan, a telepath employed by the spaceport on Bengal Station, a vast twenty-level city-port that dominates the ocean between India and Burma. As part of a security team working against terrorists and other undesirables, he reads the minds of visitors to Earth. The first novel follows Vaughan on the trail of a mysterious religious sect, a serial killer, and a soul-sucking alien life form secreted on the Station.”
Dunn said “Helix was such a fantastic read that we’re thrilled to acquire a sequence that will delight fans of hard sf. Eric is an outstanding talent and these books can only help push him toward the stardom he deserves.”
