A new urban fantasy, perfect for lovers of all things vampire is due to be released in October by Solaris Books.
Redlaw, by prolific fantasy writer James Lovegrove, tells the story of the battle between vampires and humans as they struggle to coexist.
They live amongst us, abhorred, marginalised, despised. They are vampires, known politely as Sunless.
The job of policing their community falls to the men and women of the Sunless Housing and Disclosure Executive – SHADE. Captain John Redlaw is London’s most feared and respected SHADE officer. But when the vampires start rioting within their ghettoes, and angry humans respond with violence of their own, even Redlaw may not be able to keep the peace.
Especially when political forces are aligning to introduce a radical answer to the Sunless problem, one that will resolve the situation once and for all…
About the author:
James published his first novel at the age of 24 and has since had more than 20 books out, including The Hope, Escardy Gap (co-written with Peter Crowther), Days, The Foreigners, How The Other Half Lives, Untied Kingdom, Imagined Slights, Worldstorm, Gig and Provender Gleed.
His short fiction has appeared in magazines as diverse as Interzone and Nature and in numerous anthologies. He has written extensively for reluctant readers, with titles such as Wings, The House of Lazarus, Ant God, Cold Keep, Kill Swap and Dead Brigade.
He has also produced a sequence of teen fantasy novels, the Clouded World series, under the pseudonym Jay Amory. He is a regular reviewer of fiction for the Financial Times and lives in Eastbourne on the south coast of England with his wife Lou, sons Monty and Theo, and cat Ozzy.
Praise for the author:
“His plot is creative, impressive and could almost be called noble – no matter which side of the battle line the reader may mentally stand on.” Huntress Reviews on The Age of Zeus.
“Intelligent and provocative, it’s yet more proof that Lovegrove is one of the UK SF scene’s most interesting, challenging and adventurous authors.” Saxon Bullock SFX on Age of Ra.
Redlaw is available for pre-order now on Amazon.

Published: 14th October 2011
ISBN: 9781907992049
