January 7, 2017 Civilian Reader Upcoming Becky Chambers, Christopher Brown, Harper Collins, Mark Lawrence, Most Anticipated 2017, Nicky Drayden, Patrick Hemstreet, Ray Norman, Richard Kadrey, Voyager, Wesley Snipes

Tricky to find information about Voyager UK titles, unless they’re already established authors (Mark Lawrence, Richard Kadrey, etc.). So, this post features predominantly titles published in both North America and the UK.

Tor.com has an incredible range of novellas coming out in 2017. So, here are details for just some of those coming up in the first half of the year (I’ll have to do another of these posts in a couple months). All of these sound interesting. I also have many of them already, so I’ll be reading and reviewing them over the next few months.

Upcoming in 2017… Hodder Books

January 6, 2017January 7, 2017 Civilian Reader Upcoming Benjamin Percy, Hodder, Jaroslav Kalfar, Most Anticipated 2017, Nnedi Okorafor, Sarah Lotz

This is the first in a series of posts I’ll be putting up this week(end), featuring upcoming books I’m really interested in reading. I wanted to try to keep things focused on the first few months of 2017, but some publishers have released information pretty far in advance, so I’ll include later novels, too. The books featured are also not the only novels from the publisher that I’m interested in, so these are not definitive lists. Just ones that have grabbed my attention most at the time of writing.

First up, let’s take a look at just a few coming up from Hodder…

Cover Reveal: THE REMNANT by Charlie Fletcher (Orbit)

October 19, 2016October 18, 2016 Civilian Reader Covers, Upcoming Charlie Fletcher, London, Most Anticipated 2017, Orbit, Oversight, Remnant, Urban Fantasy

Above is the rather good cover for Charlie Fletcher‘s third Oversight novel, The Remnant. Due to be published in March 2017 by Orbit Books in the UK and North America, the cover fits very nicely with the first two (below). Unfortunately, I haven’t yet had the chance to read The Oversight and The Paradox, but I fully intend to do so. In the meantime, here’s the synopsis:

“The Oversight is most dangerous when most reduced. There are many dead and gone who did not remember that.”

The Oversight of London has been sworn for millennia to prevent the natural and the supernatural worlds from preying on each other.

Now, at its lowest ebb, with its headquarters destroyed and its last members scattered far and wide, this secret society will battle for survival and face the harshest foe it has ever met: itself.

I’m looking forward to reading all three of these. Hopefully soon.
