THE ELECTRIC CHURCH Somers, Jeff 9/25/2007
This is a fairly dire noir SF novel in which our tough-talking
hero in a corrupt and irredeemable world is hired to off god,or at
least the head of a major church.
THE NEW WORLD Stackpole,Michael A. 7/24/2007
The third installment in what could have been a fascinating
trilogy about mapping but which wasn't.
GALAXY BLUES Steele, Allen 4/1/2008
A political refugee from the oppressive America of tomorrow
finds himself entangled in alien-human diplomacy.
THE WATCHER Stein, Jeanne C.
Even after looking this up online, I have no memory of
reading this.
BEST SHORT NOVELS: 2007 Strahan, Jonathan 5/7/2007
Eight novellas ranging from SF to fantasy. Has anyone tried
this sort of collection since Terry Carr's best SF novella collections
in the 1970s (I think Judy Lynn del Rey's Stellar novella collection
came before the Carr).
THE MERCHANT'S WAR Stross, Charles 10/1/2007
The fourth book in the Merchant Princes series. The world-
walking Clans find themselves under siege in at least two worlds.
HALTING STATE Stross, Charles 10/2/2007
A near-future computer-related thriller written entirely
in the second person. That shouldn't have worked but it did.
There's a scene in here that reminds of various wacky
adventures my older brother has had with superconducting magnets
(IIRC, resolving one problem got his photo put up at CERN).
SATURN'S CHILDREN Stross, Charles 7/1/2008
Can a ***-robot find happiness and job satisfaction in a
late-Heinlein inspired Solar System?
I await the discussions of space travel this book will
inspire.
