When There Are Wolves Again gets a new paperback release today
Hachette UK lists E. J. Swift's BSFA-winning speculative novel When There Are Wolves Again for a June 4, 2026 paperback release, giving eco-fiction readers a fresh format to track.
E. J. Swift's When There Are Wolves Again gets a new paperback checkpoint today, with Hachette UK listing the edition on sale for June 4, 2026. The speculative novel already has a strong critical hook: Hachette's listing identifies it as a winner of the Best Novel Award from the British Science Fiction Association. For
readers who missed the earlier format, the paperback makes the climate-leaning eco-fiction story easier to slot into a summer reading list. What is available now The Hachette UK page lists the paperback edition with ISBN 9781529436471, a June 4, 2026 on-sale date, and a price of GBP 10.99. The official description
positions the book as a novel of past, present, and future, following two women whose lives move across decades of environmental pressure, protest, family fracture, and rewilding hope. That release timing gives speculative-fiction readers a practical reason to revisit the book now rather than treat it as an older award
listing. It is also a clean fit for readers who want near-future fiction rooted in climate, ecology, and the question of how damaged places might be restored. Why science-fiction readers should notice The title's hook is not escapist apocalypse. It is restoration: what it might mean to imagine a Britain where depleted
habitats are repaired and species return. That gives When There Are Wolves Again a different emotional register from darker collapse fiction. Swift's track record also matters. Hachette highlights The Coral Bones and the author's Clarke Award-shortlisted background, which should make this paperback especially relevant
for readers tracking British speculative fiction, eco-fiction, and award-season catch-up lists.
