What People Are Saying...
"Series like [M.D. Lachlan's] the Danilov Quintet by Jasper Kent, the First Law Trilogy by Joe Abercrombie, and the Shadow books by Jon Sprunk, just to name a few fantasy series (and that's not even getting into the science fiction), have made Pyr books my favorite publisher. With quality like this, it's no wonder Pyr seems to have a permanent place on the shortlists of all the major awards." —Adventures Fantastic
"If you haven't given Pyr releases a look, you really should. Their output, under the editorial hand of Lou Anders, is nothing short of amazing. By this I mean the number of releases of theirs that are consistently good. I had the chance to read a large number of their releases, particularly in the back half of the year (in fact I'm devouring Mike Resnick's The Buntline Special as we speak), and most were good while some were simply outstanding." —LEC Book Reviews
"One of very few publishers I know who have no bad books to their name (if they have one, I haven't read it). Additionally, it not only has a very clear image of what it does, but it communicates that image to the world." —BiblioBuffet
"I haven't been this intrigued by so many books from a single publisher in a long time. ...one of the most exciting publishers in the business."—Black Gate magazine

"I'll have to give [Publisher of the Year] to Pyr and Lou Anders for rekindling my love of Science Fiction along with some quality Fantasy and continually publishing series over consecutive months which all Fantasy fans adore.
