Angry Robot Books has recently made a significant addition to its publishing lineup by signing Michael Nayak for his debut novel, “Symbiote”. Slated for a spring 2025 release, “Symbiote” marks Nayak’s entry into the realm of science fiction and horror literature.
Michael Nayak, with a background as a former DARPA researcher and space shuttle engineer, brings a wealth of technical knowledge to his writing. His debut novel, “Symbiote”, is a science fiction horror story that centers around a newly emerged parasite at a research station in the South Pole. This parasite is said to create a dangerous and evolving hive mind among the scientists there.
The deal, which includes this first novel and another yet-to-be-announced book, was brokered by Lindsay Guzzardo of Martin Literary Management. This acquisition by Angry Robot Books, a publisher known for its diverse range of science fiction and fantasy titles, indicates a commitment to introducing new and distinctive voices in the genre.
Details about the plot, characters, and specific elements of “Symbiote” have not been extensively disclosed beyond its basic premise. Additionally, information about the second book included in Nayak’s deal with Angry Robot Books remains under wraps.
The announcement of “Symbiote” adds to the anticipation among science fiction and horror literature fans, who look forward to discovering Nayak’s approach to storytelling, especially considering his unique professional background in science and engineering. As the publication date approaches, more details about “Symbiote” are expected to be revealed by Angry Robot Books.
