Jonathan Oliver, Solaris editor-in-chief, said: ?It?s wonderful when you find a science-fiction novel that?s this epic while also dealing with characters you can believe in. Guy is a strong new voice in SF and it?s a real pleasure to be working with him. Champion of Mars has all the grandeur of the golden-age SF of Bradbury, Silverberg or Clarke, while also presenting a strong new authorial voice.?

Guy said: ?I?m delighted to have placed Champion of Mars with Solaris. The story is a personal favourite of mine, and I can?t wait to share it with the world. I love planetary romance and hard SF, Champion of Mars is my attempt to merge the two. I can?t think of a better home for the book than Solaris, a great imprint with a great catalogue, one which I?m thrilled to join.?
