HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!

Best wishes for the holidays to everyone. Eos is taking a much-needed break, so we'll be back posting in January.

We've had a great 10 years so far--thank you so much for all of your support!  We really appreciate it, and have some exciting things planned for next year, as we head into our second decade of publishing. Look for more news next year.

We hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season, and that the New Year is all you want it to be.

All best wishes,

Diana, Emily, Jack, Kate, Jen and Laura

Free E-Book!

For November and December only, click to download a free eBook of Adam Troy Castro's EMISSARIES FROM THE DEAD.

Two murders have occurred on One One One, an artificial ecosystem created by the universe's dominant AIs to house several engineered species, including a violent, sentient race of sloth-like creatures. Under order from the Diplomatic Corps, Counselor Andrea Cort has come to this cylinder world where an indentured human community hangs suspended high above a poisoned, acid atmosphere. Her assignment is to choose a suitable homicide suspect from among those who have sold their futures to escape existences even worse than this one. And no matter where the trail leads her she must do nothing to implicate the hosts, who hold the power to obliterate humankind in an instant.

But Andrea Cort is not about to hold back in her hunt for a killer. For she has nothing to lose and harbors no love for her masters or fellow indentures. And she herself has felt the terrible exhilaration of taking life . . . .
