After a hiatus, Sea Lion Press is back. Two new titles, one from an SLP veteran and one from a newcomer, are available now in ebook and paperback formats. I'm delighted to confirm that this is how all SLP releases will work from now on: simultaneous release in paperback and ebook. Our remaining books not yet in paperback will also move to paperback over time, with a goal to have the entire SLP catalogue available in paperback before Christmas. My thanks to our supporters and readers for their patience as we built the systems that have made this possible, as well as the brilliant members of our community who have volunteered their time and now taken on roles in our pipeline process.
The Red Boot by Raffaele Gaggioli
1948 was a pivotal year in the history of the Italian peninsula. The first democratic elections were held after the end of the fascist dictatorship, and the peninsula's future in the Cold War was determined. In real life, the elections were easily won by Democrazia Cristiana and Italy soon became one of the members of NATO and, later, of the European Union. What if things had turned out differently? In this alternate history of "The Red Boot", a series of minor divergences changes the fate of post-fascist Italy.
On the Wings of the Morn by Tom Anderson
This is not what Heinrich Adler signed up for. After many false dawns, humanity had thought itself alone in the universe. So too had the Culvanai, the people of the planet known simply as Mud, with its many small islands and seas ruled by clans, not nations. Now, far from both Earth and Mud, the two races defied the odds by establishing peaceful first contact. Yet neither humans nor Culvanai are politically united. Heinz and his crew must travel to Mud to head off a war before it can begin, as the atavistic Profondistes use first contact as an excuse for their own ambitions. And the first Culvanai ambassadors to Earth find themselves at the centre of an elaborate plot masterminded by African trillionaire Amos Nkomo. The story of "Well Met By Starlight" continues in "On the Wings of the Morn".
