Erik Martiniussen has just published his new book The War against Bacteria to critical acclaim from a collective Norwegian Press.

The UK rights to John Kåre Raake’s thriller The Ice has been acquired by the renowned British publisher Pushkin Press. – The Ice is a brilliantly paced and plotted thriller — taut, claustrophobic, and all played out in the freezing darkness of the North Pole. I can’t wait for Pushkin Vertigo to publish it in English, says the editor Daniel Seton.
Anders Røyneberg’s book GREEN JOY is set to travel out into the world. The estemeed publishing house Quadrille has bought World English rights and will publish it in the UK. In Australia it will be published by Hardie Grant.
