Summary
The year is 1939. Raybould Marsh and other members of British Intelligence have gathered to watch a damaged reel of film in a darkened room. It appears to show German troops walking through walls, bursting into flames and hurling tanks into the air from afar.
If the British are to believe their eyes, a twisted Nazi scientist has been endowing German troops with unnatural, unstoppable powers. And Raybould will be forced to resort to dark methods to hold the impending invasion at bay.

Tregillis delivers a dynamite first novel in Bitter Seeds
A major talent … I can’t wait to see more - George R. R. Martin, author of A Game of Thrones
Mad English warlocks battling twisted Nazi psychics? Yes please, thank you. Tregillis’s debut has a white-knuckle plot, beautiful descriptions, and complex characters - an unstoppable Vickers of a novel - Cory DoctorowA confident and thrilling debut - SFXTregillis delivers a dynamite first novel in Bitter Seeds - SFREVUBitter Seeds shines in its characters about which we get to care a lot, and in the style which is just superb … the one novel of 2010 I would recommend to anyone who believes that speculative fiction cannot compete with “literary” novels - FANTASY BOOK CRITICA damned entertaining novel. If Bitter Seeds is any indication of what’s to come, then Tregillis will have a fertile writing career. The novel receives my highest recommendations - SFFWORLDBitter Seeds is nothing short of an awesome read as far as I’m concerned. It’s a testament to what Tregillis has done here that I’m already of the opinion that he keeps writing then I’ll keep reading his work. Can you tell I’m excited? Read Bitter Seeds and you’ll see why. - GRAEME’S FANTASY BOOK REVIEWAn excellent first book, and I am eagerly awaiting number two - Elizabeth BearIan Tregillis
Ian Tregillis is the son of a bearded mountebank and a discredited tarot card reader. He was born and raised in Minnesota, where his parents had landed after fleeing the wrath of a Flemish prince. (The full story, he’s told, involves a Dutch tramp steamer and a stolen horse.) Nowadays he lives in New Mexico, where he consorts with writers, scientists and other unsavoury types.
