S.M. Stirling sold volumes 7, 8, and 9 of The Sunrise Lands and the first three books of a news series, A Taint in the Blood, to Ginjer Buchanan at Roc. The sales were handled by agent Russell Galen of the Scovil Chichak Galen Literary Agency.
The Sunrise Lands is “a series set in the same world as the Dies the Fire trilogy. It’s Change Year 22, a generation after high-energy technology died in a catastrophe most of the human race didn’t survive. The children born after the Change are now starting to take center stage—and Whoever or Whatever was behind the Change itself may be taking a hand in their rivalries. An expedition must travel to Nantucket across a strange and hostile continent to find some answers.”
A Taint in the Blood is a “new series about a subspecies of Man with dark powers, responsible for much of the suffering and violence of the world.”
