Paul Kearney sold two new novels to Jonathan Oliver at Solaris Books. Agent on the deal was John Jarrold. The books, to be called Corvus and Kings of Morning, are due to be delivered in 2010 and early 2011, respectively. They will be be set int he same world as Kearney’s previous Solaris book, The Ten Thousand.
Earlier this month, we announced the sale of Solaris from Games Workshop to Rebellion. Oliver is the new commissioning editor under the new owners.
Jarrold says, “The immediacy of Paul’s prose and characterisation always puts me in mind of David Gemmell, who I was lucky enough to publish in the mid-1990s. With The Ten Thousand, he has created a world ripe for re-visiting. And I’m very pleased to have concluded my first deal with Jon Oliver and the ‘new’ Solaris.”
