New Adventures of a Chinese Time Machine
Watson Ian
Cover Artist: Adler
NewCon Press are delighted to present the first solo novel in two decades from multiple award-winning author Ian Watson, who worked for a year with Stanley Kubrick writing the screen story to the film A.I. Artificial Intelligence (subsequently filmed by Steven Spielberg), and wrote the very first novels set in the Warhammer 40K universe.
A new novel set in the same world as the author's acclaimed Chinese Time Machine stories, which have appeared in Asimov's, ParSec, and elsewhere.
When the Chinese Time Machine is hijacked from Oxford, Colonel Maggie Mo is perturbed. Will this mean an end to her trips into the past for ‘scientific research’, accompanied by her tame British Dons Rajit Sharma and David Mason?
Will it mean no more encounters with the likes of Marie Antoinette, William Makepiece Thackeray and the Scarlet Pimpernel?
Only time will tell...
Now resident in Asturias, Spain, Ian Watson graduated from Balliol College Oxford with a 1st Class Honours degree in English Literature. He has subsequently taught English and creative writing at university level in Japan, Tanzania, and the UK.
The first Chinese Time Machine story appeared in 2019, when a publisher in Beijing asked Ian to submit a story for the New Year festival. It proved hugely popular, with nearly half a million downloads in the first two weeks.
This is the eagerly awaited first novel to be set within this fantastically imagined milieu.
Limited to 50 signed hardcover copies
