New ebook editions of Hominids and its sequels

I’m thrilled to announce new ebook editions of my Hugo Award-winning novel Hominids, its Hugo Award-nominated sequel Humans, and the bestselling final volume Hybrids. Together, they are the Neanderthal Parallax trilogy, which won the Canadian Science Fiction and Fantasy Award (“the Aurora”) for best work of the entire decade.
The trilogy tells of a parallel Earth where Neanderthals survived to the present day and we did not — and a portal that opens between the two realities, depositing Neanderthal quantum physicist Ponter Boddit at the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory in northern Ontario.
Each ebook is just US$4.99 or local equivalent, and they’re available at all major ebook vendors worldwide, including:
Amazon Kindle US:
Amazon Kindle Canada:
Amazon Kindle UK:
Amazon Kindle Australia:
Kobo:
Barnes & Noble Nook:
“Charming and provocative — some of the most outrageous, stimulating speculation since Robert A. Heinlein’s Stranger in a Strange Land questioned our tired, timid conventions.” —Publishers Weekly
“The Neanderthal Parallax is tremendous storytelling, with a convincing scientific basis, but at its core, it is science fiction as social commentary, worth reading for the quality of Sawyer’s vision and insight, the near-possibility of his scientific departures, and the depth of his social criticism.” —Quill & Quire

Are they going to open a portal to the Neanderthal universe?

I just purchased all three ebooks in the series and finished reading them just today. My original paperback versions now long since gone to whoever I handed then to saying “you’ve got to read these.”
They hold up just as well today as when you first wrote them, except maybe the idea that Bill Cosby was an example of a good male Gliksin. That unfortunately didn’t age so well.
I also recently re-read all of the www series as well. It also holds up remarkably well. I can only wish we actually had Webmind instead of all these hallucinating generative LLMs.
Thank you for all your contributions to hard science fiction. I only wish you could write as fast as I can read, but I suppose I’ll just have to settle with rereading.
