AUGUST 2009:

Books John is looking forward to -

One of our best-sellers this summer has been the hilarious Pride and Prejudice and Zombies—the beloved Jane Austen classic, but with added zombie mayhem by Seth Grahame-Smith.  It just may have my all-time favorite cover.  Well, the publisher is following it up with Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters, which promises “all-new scenes of giant lobsters, rampaging octopi, two-headed sea serpents, swashbuckling pirates and other sea-worth creatures.”  It’s due out on September 15.

Metatropolis is an anthology of five stories by some of my favorite authors set in a shared-world city of the future.  John Scalzi, Tobias Buckell and Karl Schroeder are all folks I’ve met and Jay Lake and Elizabeth Bear are favorites of mine and our book group.  Published by Subterranean Press, this hardcover is due out in August.

And speaking of Karl Schroeder, his fourth novel in the “Virga” series, The Sunless Countries, will be available on August 4th.  Virga is an enclosed realm of floating worlds and artificial suns built with long-lost technology.  A kind of cross between space opera and steampunk, pirates swordfight and epic naval battles rage as the mysteries of Virga unfold.  The first book in the series is Sun of Suns.

And a member of our Science Fiction writer’s group asked us to stock C.C. Finlay’s new “Traitor to the Crown” trilogy—an alternative American Revolution fought with magic.  The action begins in The Demon Redcoat and continues in The Patriot Witch and A Spell for the Revolution.  The founding of our country as you’ve never read it before!
