I didn't see it on the AW list so I thought to post it here. They look pretty good. Anyone deal with them before?

Breakneck Books was originally a print-on-demand company run by Jeremy Robinson - he folded it into Variance when he launched it several years ago having secured substantial investment. The accounts with the print on demand aspect have obviously remained in the Breakneck Books name, as you'll notice several of the latest releases also have Breakneck Books listed as publisher despite being Variance releases. Jeremy subsequently left and distanced himself fully from the company.
Over the last few years several authors have reclaimed the rights to their books. Other authors have reported not being paid their royalties. The company was set up with the best intentions, and for a couple of years were a good place to be, but mismanagement of money has placed it in a bad position, and honestly, if you were to ask me I would tell you to run. Run. Run. As far and as fast as you can.
