Second Eric Brown weird space novel sells to Abaddon

A press release from John Jarrold:
Jonathan Oliver, commissioning editor of Abaddon Books, has acquired Satan’s Reach, a second Weird Space SF novel by Eric Brown. This follows on from Eric’s soon-to-be-published The Devil’s Nebula. The novel will be delivered in 2013. The agent was John Jarrold and the deal is for UK/US rights.
Eric Brown said: “I’m excited about doing the second book in the Weird Space series—a seat-of-the-pants adventure entitled Satan’s Reach about a telepath on the run from the Expansion authorities and the bounty hunter who will stop at nothing to get him—and what they find on a far-flung planet in the badlands of Satan’s Reach. It’s space opera with the emphasis on starships, aliens, exotic worlds—and the perennial threat from the Weird.”
