Our passion for extraordinary writing dates back to our two founders, who were responsible for introducing some of the twentieth century’s most remarkable voices – Vladimir Nabokov, Isaiah Berlin, Sybille Bedford, Eric Hobsbawm, Edna O’Brien, Jorge Luis Borges and many others – to a wide readership. They launched their publishing house with the idea of building bridges and opening minds through exceptional works of literature: we have been carrying on their legacy ever since. We publish history, memoir, ideas, popular science, biography, narrative non-fiction, crime and thrillers, translated fiction and literary fiction of all kinds. 5 Who were the great diplomats of history – and what can their achievements tell us about the most important issues of our time?

  • Kickstarter Manuscript Bootleg
    Kickstarter Manuscript Bootleg © 2019 Onyx Path Publishing Chapter One: The Day the World Changed “I never said, “The superman exists, and he’s American.” What I said was, “God exists, and he’s American.” — Dr. Milton Glass, Dr. Manhattan: Super-Powers and the Superpowers, from Watchmen March 23rd, 2018, N-Day — the day the world changed forever. Following the tragic explosion of the space station Galatea in orbit, people around the world began displaying superhuman abilities of an unexplained nature, starting with New York City firefighter Randel Portman, later known as “the Fireman.” In the days and weeks following, dozens more people manifested powers, leading to a worldwide state of emergency. It was soon clear that the world would never quite be the same again, as the miraculous and the extraordinary became the order of the day. Now, ten years later, in 2028, the world is indeed a different place, but perhaps not as changed as some hoped or feared. Some two thousand people worldwide have “erupted” into what is believed to be a new evolutionary subspecies of humanity, Homo sapiens novus, commonly known as “novas” and less flatteringly as “aberrants.” Their presence and powers have changed the world and may offer hope for a better future, or a looming threat greater than any humanity has ever faced — or both. Aberrant Timeline 2018 — Eruptions March 23, 12:18 p.m. GST: The research space station Galatea explodes, killing the astronauts on board and dumping radioactive material into Earth’s atmosphere. March 23, 3:31 p.m. GST: In New York City, firefighter Randel Portman manifests superhuman powers, absorbing all the heat and flames from a multi-alarm apartment building blaze without harm to himself.
