The Frankenstein Corps

Yesterday I posted Pye Parr's brilliant illustration that's to be used in the forthcoming Anno Frankenstein.

It's actually the logo of the Frankenstein Corps, which features heavily in the book (and which was first mentioned back in Ulysses Quicksilver's second adventure Leviathan Rising).

I feel that the Frankenstein Corps needs some sort of motto, to go with this badge. What I've come up with off the top of my head is:

The Frankenstein Corps - waste not, want not.

But I'm sure you can come up with something better. If you can post it here and I might be able to find a small prize for the best suggestion.

Pax Britannia: Anno Frankenstein

Ace designer Pye Parr emailed me this today...


Just thought you might like to see it. ;-)

Pax Britannia hits Piccadilly (part 2)

Just as an update to this morning's post, the people at the Waterstone's store in Piccadilly have been saying some very nice things about my Pax Britannia books.

Here's what they had to say about Dark Side:

Ulysses Quicksilver returns! Hurrah! This time around he finds himself on the wrong side of the Luna Prime Police Force... not a position he's used to. Will his charm, guile and bravery be enough to see him through?
Nathan

And here's what they had to say about The Ulysses Quicksilver Omnibus:

Three books in one! That's always good news, surely? They follow the adventures of Ulysses Quicksilver, a gentleman explorer. It's a well-sketched world of zeppelins, neon lights and massive statues of a queen who's reigned for over a century. Quirky fun.
Dave

And, while we're on the subject of Pax Britannia, just wait until you see what Pye Parr's come up with for the forthcoming Anno Frankenstein!

Pax Britannia hits Piccadilly

Seen in the Piccadilly branch of Waterstone's, in the heart of London, a Steampunk promo display featuring not one, but two Pax Britannia titles - alongside the likes of China MiƩville, Robert Rankin and Stephen Hunt.


If you don't happen to live within walking distance of Waterstone's Piccadilly you can pick up The Ulysses Quicksilver Omnibus and Pax Britannia: Dark Side here.
