In addition to the hotly-anticipated Ten Low, Stark Holborn has another great-looking book out this year: Advanced Triggernometry! A return to the world of Triggernometry, which I really enjoyed, it’s another Weird West novella that blends Wild Western gunslinging and mathematics. I’m really looking forward to reading this. Here’s the synopsis:
That gold you stole will burn a hole in your heart…
After pulling off the heist of the century, Professor Malago Browne and Pierre de Fermat are determined to hang up their protractors for good. But once you’ve been the most dangerous mathematician in the west, peace doesn’t come easy…
When three women approach Browne with a proposition, she can’t help but listen. Terrorised by a corrupt sheriff and his posse, the town need to hire the quickest and deadliest fighters they can find: in other words, mathmos.
Together with six unlikely allies, Browne once again finds herself facing incalculable odds in a battle for the town, its people, and the fate of every mathematician in the Western States.
And seven isn’t always a lucky number…
Stark Holborn’s Advanced Triggernometry is due out on April 8th, published by Rattleback Books in North America and in the UK. Ten Low is due to be published by Titan Books in North America and in the UK, on June 1st.
