In my role as editor of John Joseph Adams Books for Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, I just acquired a new SF novel by Peter Cawdron. Here’s the deal memo that just ran on Publishers Marketplace:

Peter Cawdron’s RETROGRADE, about an international colony of astronauts on Mars, who have been prepared for every eventuality of living on another planet except one: What happens when disaster strikes Earth?, to John Joseph Adams Books, for publication in Fall 2017 (World).
