SOLARIS is delighted to announce the acquisition of three Bengal Station novels from Science Fiction author ERIC BROWN.

NECROPATH, XENOPATH and COSMOPATH feature Jeff Vaughan, a telepath employed by the spaceport on Bengal Station, a vast twenty-level city-port that dominates the ocean between India and Burma. As part of a security team working against terrorists and other undesirables, he reads the minds of visitors to Earth. The first novel follows Vaughan on the trail of a mysterious religious sect, a serial killer, and a soul-sucking alien life form secreted on the Station.

Solaris Commissioning Editor Christian Dunn said: “HELIX was such a fantastic read that we’re thrilled to acquire a sequence that will delight fans of hard SF. Eric is an outstanding talent and these books can only help push him towards the stardom he deserves.”

NECROPATH, the first Bengal Station novel, will be published in the spring of 2009
