Entanglement starts in 2180 when travel to neighbouring star systems has been mastered by the use of quantum teleportation, ‘entanglement’
Al Murray, Managing Publisher of Elsewhen Press said “We are very pleased to be publishing Douglas’ next novel. First and foremost our aim is to produce beautifully written, quality stories, that will excite and entertain. But more than that, in our choice of authors and their work, we hope to provide our readers with thought-provoking stories that will stay with them long after they have finished reading. Entanglement captures the excitement and bravery of mankind’s first explorers to the stars, while presenting the reader with fascinating insights into our pre-conceived and long-established notions of what is morally and culturally acceptable.”
Elsewhen Press adopts a digital-first policy, initially publishing new titles in digital format and subsequently in print editions, the reverse of most long-established publishing houses. “This approach allows us to be more innovative and exciting,” explained Murray, “and publish titles that would otherwise be beyond the resources of a small independent publisher”.
Entanglement will be published in a digital edition this summer and in a print edition in the autumn.
