"I've woken up in a lot of weird places in my life, but coming to in a xith'cal escape pod was pushing it even for me." ~ from Rachel Bach's Heaven's Queen

| Cibola Burn by James S.A. CoreySpace Opera. In this follow-up to Abbadon's Gate, the human race -- both Earth-based and "Belter" -- has gained access to a seemingly infinite number of worlds outside of our solar system. As interstellar travel increases exponentially, so do conflicts between inner and outer system populations. At the center of the dispute is newly discovered, lithium-rich planet Ilus, forcing UN representative James Holden and the crew of the Rocinante to try their hands at diplomacy. Fans of sweeping, dramatic space operas that combine deft characterization with detailed world-building will want to get their hands on this 4th book in the Expanse series, which begins with Leviathan Wakes, followed by Caliban's War. |

| Koko Takes a Holiday by Kieran SheaFar Future SF. Koko Martstellar doesn't miss her former career as a corporate mercenary. In fact, she's loving every minute of her retirement, operating a brothel on a tropical pleasure resort known as The Sixty Islands -- that is, until an old colleague attempts to assassinate her.

| Robogenesis: A Novel by Daniel H. WilsonSF. Archos is dead! Long live Archos! In this sequel to the best-selling Robopocalypse, human survivors of the New War discover that while their original A.I. nemesis has been destroyed, enough copies of it exist to launch a whole new end game. What's more, humanity isn't even central to this new conflict, in which machine battles machine for total domination. In fact, humans have two choices: they can submit to extinction, becoming collateral damage, or they can ally themselves with a robotic faction that will keep them alive until it can deploy them as expendable weapons in the fight. Structured as an oral history in the vein of Max Brooks' World War Z, Robogenesis should appeal to anyone who enjoys a good robot uprising. Speaking of which, author Daniel H. Wilson has recently collaborated with John Joseph Adams to put together Robot Uprisings, an anthology of short stories on the same subject. |
