2007 by bl publishing to trade alongside their existing licence based imprint the black library and the then existing black flame imprint . when asked why blp had started the new imprint consulting editor george mann stated that ... between ... the major corporate publishers ... and ... the small and independent press ... there seems to be little or no room left for the midlist 1 and that solaris would provide a mass market platform for up and coming writers or established writers with smaller readerships . in september 2009 it was announced that solaris books had been bought by rebellion developments who also publish comics and graphic novels under 2000 ad imprint and genre fiction under the abaddon books imprint for an undisclosed sum . 2 the imprint came under the leadership of abaddon editor jonathan oliver who ran both imprints side by side as editor in chief along with editors david moore and jenni hill . 3 the new team continues to publish books in the solaris tradition maintaining existing relationships with authors such as brian lumley andy remic and juliet mckenna and also discovering new voices in the sf and fantasy genres . as of august 2010 solaris had published seventy three titles by twenty nine authors 4 including anthologies and new editions of out of print titles . authors edit this section contains embedded lists that may be poorly
