NewCon Press are proud to present A Jura for Julia, the first short story collection in 18 years from Ken MacLeod. This volume features his finest work from that period, as selected by the author.
The collection is further enhanced by stunning cover art from artist Fangorn, who has also provided illustrations within the book to accompany many of the stories (three of which are shown below).
Ken MacLeod is one of the finest science fiction authors writing today; politically astute, thought-provoking, and always entertaining, his work has won him many awards (BSFA, Sidewise, Prometheus, Seiun) and has been shortlisted for many more.
Fangorn is a multiple award-winning cover artist and Hollywood conceptual artist, having worked with many of the the industry’s top filmmakers – Stanley Kubrick, Steven Spielberg, Tim Burton, etc – and on franchises including Star Wars and James Bond.
