Great news, although as Neal points out in his blog, they could do with investing a bit more in cover design - perhaps they should talk to Orbit or Gollancz about giving good SF decent jackets as these are the sorts of covers we used to see here in the 1980s when little effort was put into design. Neal has just finished Hilldigger and passed it on to be checked, while Polity Agent is due out this autumn - you can read some of Neal’s thoughts on it in this piece he wrote for the FPI blog a few weeks ago.
