I’m very happy to share the news that Orbit US will be celebrating its tenth year of presence on the market for Science Fiction and Fantasy literature: you will find an interesting article detailing the history of these past ten years on Barnes & Noble Sci-Fi and Fantasy Blog.
And in the best Hobbit tradition for birthdays, presents will be given instead of received: in this case a not-to-be-missed deal on the ebook version of 10 of the most successful Orbit titles for the past decade, including some of my favorites like James S.A. Corey LEVIATHAN WAKES, M.R. Carey THE GIRL WITH ALL THE GIFTS, or Mira Grant’s FEED. And many more…
Just click on this LINK to see the full array of amazing books.
Thanks for posting this – I had no idea Orbit was only 10 years – I don’t know why but I thought they’d been around for much much longer. Great books is probably why.

From what I understand, Orbit UK has been around since the mid 70s (and that might be the reason you believe it’s been in operation for a longer time), while Orbit US was launched as a “daughter” company 10 years ago. No matter the age, their books are among the best, indeed. 🙂
Orbit is one of the most consistent publishers around methinks. I am not sure that my very favorite books the last few years have come from them (well, Ancillary Justice) but i also can’t think of many that were complete misses.
When I examined the list of their best hits in these past 10 years I saw a great number of books I loved, even though – just to play contrary 😀 – Anne Leckie’s novel did not work for me.
I am amazed Orbit is only ten years old. I thought they’ve been around for a while, like Tor. They publish a lot of my favorite books 🙂
