Atlas: The Archaeology of an Imaginary City looks very interesting and I heard nothing about it.
Those are what I’m picking up this month.
The Incarceration of Captain Nebula and Other Lost Futures by Resnick
A Once Crowded Sky by King
Definitive Flash Gordon and Jungle Jim Volume 2 by Raymond
Energized by Lerner
Heaven’s War by Goyer
Odd Apocalypse: An Odd Thomas Novel
Maybe I’ll pick up, if I get through the above:
The Apocalypse Codex (A Laundry Files Novel) by Stoss
and
The Coldest War by Tregellis
Charlotte Markham and the House of Darkling: A Novel, looks interesting. Might pick that up as well.
Some gorgeous covers, and more than a few books I want to get my hands on! (Fortunately I have review copies of some of them, but there always seem to be more!)
Energized and vN.
I’ve read Cuttlefish: enjoyable pre-teen to YA steampunk novel. I have Shadow of Night & loved the 1st in trilogy: academic, well-researched with plot and characters. Kelley Armstrong talked about 13 when I interviewed her. I wish I could read more! This list makes me drool.
Some others which have caught my eye for this month:
Alif the Unseen
A new definitive edition of The Troika by Stepan Chapman (1997, PKD Award) from Cheeky Frawg
Collection: Permeable Borders by Nina Kiriki Hoffman (Fairwood Press, July 1)
The First Confessor: The Legend of Magda Searus by Terry Goodkind (self-published, Jul 2, 2012)
The Hollow City by Dan Wells (Tor, Jul 3, 2012)
Last Man Standing by Davide Longo (MacLehose Press, July 5, 2012) — an English translation of an Italian novel set in a collapsing near future (via Ranting Dragon)
YA: Mothership by Martin Leicht and Isla Neal (Ever-Expanding Universe #1, Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers, July 10) — “Elvie Nara was doing just fine in the year 2074. She had a great best friend, a dad she adored, and bright future working on the Ares Project on Mars. But then she had to get involved with sweet, gorgeous, dumb-as-a-brick Cole—and now she’s pregnant.”
Anthology: Solaris Rising 1.5 edited by Ian Whates (Solaris, July 17)
The Siege in the Room: Three Novellas by Miquel Bauca and translated by Martha Tennent (Dalkey Archive Press, Jul 24, 2012)
Vlad by Carlos Fuentes (Dalkey Archive Press, Jul 24, 2012) — Spanish-language novel from Mexico now in translation, re-imagines Dracula in Mexico City — audio coming from Dreamscape
Whispers Under Ground by Ben Aaronovitch (Del Rey, July 31, 2012) — out earlier in the UK but I think this is the US release
Thanks, Sam. These didn’t come up in my Amazon trolling a couple of weeks back.
