Angry Robot has signed Australian author Jo Anderton for a Manga-inspired science fantasy epic.
Publishing director Marc Gascoigne signed world print and e-book rights for the two-book Veiled World series from agent Anni Haig-Smith.
Debris will be published in autumn 2011, with sequel Suited to follow in 2012. Debris follows Tanyana, leader of a energy-harvesting team. Following an accident, she’s dismayed to be demoted to little more than a garbage collector, but soon uncovers a plot by the faceless faction she calls the Puppet Men.
Gascoigne said, "With the ever-increasing popularity of Japanese and Korean anime, manga and computer games, it’s been surprising that there hasn’t been more SF and fantasy showing its influence. . . We’re damned pleased to have Jo on board."
