Are those UK dates? A few of those are slated to hit the U.S. In The fall and haven't been delayed from what I know.

 

Which one's ? Most of these are US dates since majority of SFF comes from Tor/DAW/Ace/Roc etc.

 

The titles tagged with 'UK' means only UK publications.

New Acquisition: THE WAKING FIRE by Anthony Ryan

 

 

Pleased at long last to announce my new series ‘The Draconis Memoria’, the first volume of which – ‘The Waking Fire’ – will be published by Ace/Roc in the US and by Orbit in the UK in July of 2016. Many thanks to my agent Paul Lucas of Janklow & Nesbit, my editors at Ace – Jessica Wade and Susan Allison, and my UK editor James Long for all their hard work in making this happen. The Orbit press release can be viewed here. Below is the full text of the Ace press release:

 

New York, NY, July 22, 2015—Ace Books, an imprint of the Berkley Publishing Group, will publish The Draconis Memoria, a new fantasy series from New York Times bestselling author Anthony Ryan. Ace acquired North American and translation rights to three books from Paul Lucas at Janklow & Nesbit, and the series has been sold in Germany, Poland, the Czech Republic, and the United Kingdom, where Orbit will publish. Ace will release the first novel in the series, The Waking Fire, in hardcover in July 2016

 

Anthony Ryan began his career as a self-publishing sensation with the release of Blood Song, the first novel in The Raven’s Shadow trilogy. Sales began to rise and caught the attention of former Berkley Vice President and Editorial Director Susan Allison, who quickly acquired the trilogy and released Blood Song in hardcover in July 2013. The subsequent novels, Tower Lord (Ace, July 2014) and the recently-released Queen of Fire (Ace, July 2015), became New York Times bestsellers. To date, The Raven’s Shadow trilogy has been published in fifteen countries, and over 200,000 copies of the novels have been sold worldwide.

 

The Waking Fire is set in a vibrant new world where the blood of drakes—creatures similar to dragons—is valued beyond reckoning, and can be distilled into elixirs that grant fearsome powers to those who are “blood-blessed.” The novel follows an unregistered blood-blessed as he searches for an elusive variety of drake so potent, its capture would mean unrivalled riches; the second in command of a blood-burning ironclad ship; and a young woman in a lifelong contract to a trading syndicate, whose espionage mission places her on the front lines of a newly declared war. As empires clash and arcane mysteries reveal themselves, these characters are tested again and again and soon discover that the fate of the world rests on their shoulders.

NEW ADVENTURE FANTASY FROM ORBIT: Hope & Red by Jon Skovron will be publishing in the summer of 2016.

 

 

We pre-empted a manuscript a few months ago that we read and loved instantly. The reads were unanimous — it was perfect!!  It reminded us of Brent Weeks’s original Night Angel Trilogy, mixed with a drop of Scott Lynch’s The Lies of Locke Lamora and the brilliant characterizations of Brandon Sanderson.   But to be honest, we just fell in love with the characters, HOPE & RED. Red is a thief — and Hope is a trained warrior.  Their meeting — and their adventures will become a legend. . .

So we are over the moon to introduce you to a new author in the adult world, Jon Skovron and his novel, HOPE & RED, which we will be publishing in the summer of 2016.

 

In a fracturing empire spread across savage seas, two young people from different cultures find common purpose.

 

A nameless girl is the lone survivor when her village is massacred by biomancers, mystical servants of the emperor. Named after her lost village, Bleak Hope is secretly trained by a master Vinchen warrior as an instrument of vengeance.

 

A boy becomes an orphan on the squalid streets of New Laven after drugs and disease take the lives of his bohemian parents. He is adopted by one of the most notorious women of the criminal underworld, given the name Red, and trained as a thief and con artist.

 

When a ganglord named Deadface Drem strikes a bargain with the biomancers to consolidate and rule all the slums of New Laven, the worlds of Hope and Red come crashing together, and their unlikely alliance takes them further than either could have dreamed possible.

What is HOPE & RED about?

 

HOPE & RED takes place in an archipelago of islands called The Empire of Storms, with warrior monks, pirates, gang lords, science mages called biomancers, and a fair amount of monsters, violence, and mayhem. But as the title implies, this is ultimately a story about Hope and Red. They both lose their parents at a young age. Both are taken in by unconventional mentors who encourage them to transgress society, but in very different ways. Red is taught to become a thief and con artist in the urban slums, where he is fiercely loyal to his adopted neighborhood of Paradise Circle. Hope is secretly trained on a remote island as a warrior in an elite order that has specifically banned women. She seeks vengeance against the biomancer who murdered not only her parents, but her entire village.

 

When the biomancers team up with the gang lord of Paradise Circle to consolidate power, Hope and Red’s worlds come crashing together, resulting in a quest for justice that leads them all the way to the imperial palace.

From Tor.com:

 

Coming Spring or Summer 2016

 

The Jewel and Her Lapidary by Fran Wilde

 

A novella-length high fantasy.

 

“The kingdom in the Valley has long sheltered under the protection of its Jewels and Lapidaries, the people bound to singing gemstones with the power to reshape hills, move rivers, and warp minds. That power has kept the peace and tranquility, and the kingdom has flourished. Jewel Lin  and her Lapidary Sima may be the last to enjoy that peace.

The Jeweled Court has been betrayed, and as screaming raiders sweep down from the mountains and Lapidary servants shatter under the pressure, the last princess of the Valley will have to take up a strength she’s never known. If she can assume her royal dignity, if Sima can master the most dangerous gemstone in the land, they may be able to survive.”

 

Coming Summer 2016

 

Spiderlight by Adrian Tchaikovsky

 

A novel-length sword and sorcery tale.

 

“The Church of Armes of the Light has battled the forces of Darkness for as long as anyone can remember. The Great Prophecy has foretold that a band of misfits, led by the High Priestess Dion will defeat the Dark Lord Darvezian, armed with their wits, the blessing of the Light and a fang belonging to the spider queen.Their journey will be long, hard and fraught with danger. Allies will become enemies; enemies will become allies. And the Dark Lord will be waiting…

This book has it all—some fantastic set pieces and a wonderful cast of characters. All the usual suspects are there in our band of merry travelers: the High Priestess, the Mage, the Warriors, the Thief, and the Giant Spider.”

Spring 2016

 

The Apocalypse Ark by Peter Roman [this is the third book in the Cross series]: "You think you know the story of Noah and the ark? Think again. In the Cross books, Noah is God’s jailer and the ark is the prison that houses all of God’s mistakes. But now Noah has gone mad and is going to end the world by raising a certain Sunken City. It’s up to Cross and his friends to stop him, if they can."

The Malice, which is the sequel to Peter Newman's The Vagrant, will be published next year: "Natasha Bardon, in her first acquisition for Harper Voyager, has acquired world english rights in debut SFF duology THE VAGRANT and THE MALICE by Peter Newman, from Juliet Mushens at The Agency Group London. Set in a futuristic world, yet heavily influenced by fantasy, this is a thoroughly compulsive debut full of corrupted knights and fallen sky-ships, and the mysterious figure that walks apart from all of them. Voyager will publish THE VAGRANT in hardback in Spring 2015, with THE MALICE following a year later."

The final adventure in the New York Times bestselling Temeraire series that started with the beloved His Majesty’s Dragon which has won fans of Napoleonic-era military history, Anne McCaffrey’s Pern novels, and Patrick O’Brian’s seafaring adventures.

The deadly campaign in Russia has cost both Napoleon and those allied against him. Napoleon has been denied his victory…but at a terrible price. Lawrence and the dragon Temeraire pursue the fleeing French army back west, but are demoralized when Napoleon makes it back to Paris unscathed. Worse, they soon learn that the French have stolen Termeraire and Iskierka’s egg. Now, it is do or die, as our heroes not only need to save Temeraire’s offspring but also to stop Napoleon for good!

Story Locale: Napoleonic Europe: Paris, Russia

Series Overview: Anne McCaffrey meets Patrick O’Brien as the Napoleonic War is played out…with dragons!

A literary Frankenstein made of World War Z, Robopocalypse, and The Martian. This inventive first novel will please devoted fans of sci fi as well as literary readers hoping a smart thriller will sneak up on them.

17 years ago: A girl in South Dakota falls through the earth, then wakes up dozens of feet below ground on the palm of what seems to be a giant metal hand. Today: She is a top-level physicist leading a team of people to understand exactly what that hand is, where it came from, and what it portends for humanity. A swift and spellbinding tale told almost exclusively through transcriptions of interviews conducted by a mysterious and unnamed character, this is a unique debut that describes a hunt for truth, power, and giant body parts.

Story Locale: DC, MD, SD, other locations around the world

The compelling story of a couple living in the wake of a personal tragedy. She is a star employee of an online dating company, while he is a physicist, performing experiments that, if ever successful, may have unintended consequences, altering the nature of their lives—and perhaps of reality itself.

Rebecca Wright has gotten her life back, finding her way out of grief and depression following a personal tragedy years ago. She spends her days working in customer support for the Internet dating site where she first met her husband. However, she has a persistent, strange sense that everything around her is somewhat off-kilter: she constantly feels as if she has walked into a room and forgotten what she intended to do there; on TV, the President seems to be the wrong person in the wrong place; and each night she has disquieting dreams that may or may not be related to her husband Philip’s pet project. Philip’s decade-long dedication to the causality violation device (which he would greatly prefer you do not call a “time machine”) has effectively stalled his career and made him a laughingstock in the physics community. But he may be closer to success than either of them knows or imagines…

Like Neil Gaiman’s major bestseller The Ocean at the End of the Lane, this is short and stirring fiction from a genre master.

After his mother goes missing, a boy is left alone in a remote house on a hilltop with his increasingly deranged father. When an odd man knocks on his door, the boy senses that his days of isolation are over. But will this stranger at last trigger the doom the boy has feared or will he somehow save the boy from the worst?

Story Locale: a fictional country

It’s The Last of the Mohicans meets HBO’s Rome in this inventive follow-up novel from Sidewise Award-winner Alan Smale.

In the two years since losing his legion on the banks of the mighty Mizipi River, Gaius has integrated himself into Cahokian society, made friends among his former adversaries, and thwarted two invasions by their longtime foe, the Iroqua. But with a Roman invasion looming on the horizon and a coup brewing in Cahokia, Gaius and company find themselves fighting one battle after another, all while trying to unite the peoples of North America to stand against Roma. Can one man sway the fate of a continent?

Story Locale: Alternate 12th-Century North America

A globetrotting, time-bending, wildly entertaining literary masterpiece in the tradition of Cloud Atlas

One of the most audacious and confident debuts in years, The Mirror Thief is a masterful puzzle: a genre-hopping novel that combines a layered, rewarding mystery with serious literary ambition. Set in three cities in three eras, The Mirror Thief calls to mind David Mitchell and Umberto Eco in its serendipitous mix of entertainment and literary merit.

DAW Trade Spring 2016 catalog

Berkley Trade Spring 2016 catalog

NAL Trade Spring 2016 catalog


Blurb for David Anthony Durham's The Risen - A Novel of Spartacus:

A historical novel of one of the most storied uprisings of classic times by an emerging master of the genre.

From the author of Pride of Carthage, the superb fictional rendering of Hannibal's epic military campaigns against Carthage's archenemy Rome, comes the perfect follow-up: an equally superb novel of the legendary gladiator Spartacus and the vast slave revolt he led that came ever so close to bringing Rome and its supposedly invincible legions to its knees. No one brings more verve, intelligence, and freshness to the perennially commercial sword-and-sandals genre than David Anthony Durham.

Anyone dare to offer an over/under date for just learning the release date for either Winds, Unholy Consult, or Doors of Stone?  Whichever comes first?  Will I get a release date on any of these before January 2016?
