Werthead Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 I have wondered how vampires would deal on, say, a space station.Easily: IT'S ALWAYS NIGHT IN SPACE.Although this could lead into a discussion of whether it's actual sunlight that kills vamps, in which case being in space isn't any help, or 'daylight', in which case they become unstoppable.

Bastard of Godsgrace Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Easily: IT'S ALWAYS NIGHT IN SPACE.Although this could lead into a discussion of whether it's actual sunlight that kills vamps, in which case being in space isn't any help, or 'daylight', in which case they become unstoppable.Or, as some vampires stories assume, it is UV radiation, in which case they are screwed.

Lord of Rhinos Posted November 9, 2012 Author Share Posted November 9, 2012 Have updated with links to Angry Robot's upcoming. Nothing to exciting. I think Lee Collins weird west stories will be worth a look since I like the genre.For Paul S. Kemp fans his second Egil and Nix book will be coming out in June (Discourses in Steel) with a third book (Conversations in Blood) to follow in 2014.

Werthead Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Some of those dates are for the paperback editions. Esslemont's Blood and Bone is out in hardcover next week, Wingrove's Middle Kingdom is out now in hardback. Railsea came out months ago in hardcover.Books 5-8 of Chung Kuo will be published in 2012: The Art of War is currently listed for March and An Inch of Ashes for June. The Broken Wheel and The White Mountain I believe are very tentatively scheduled for September and December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beniowa Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Yeah, I'd mark the paperback releases or maybe make a separate list. The first post of this thread has pretty good list too.A few that may or may not have been mentioned yet:February - Fade to Black, Francis KnightApril - Water Knife, Paolo BacigalupiMay - Dangerous Women, GRRM & DozoisJune - Siege and Storm, Leigh BardugoAugust - The Adjacent, Christopher PriestAugust:The Ace of Skulls by Chris Wooding (UK Release)You might want to mark this one as tentative as Wooding hasn't completed nor turned in the book as yet.

Lord of Rhinos Posted November 13, 2012 Author Share Posted November 13, 2012 Have updated with upcoming releases from Jo Fletcher Books.The Swords of Good Men by Snorri KristjanssonSecret of the Nagas by Amis (Shiva #2)The Demi-Monde: Summer by Rod Rees (Demi-Monde #3)The Detainee by Peter LineyImmortals of Meluha by Amish (Shiva #1)Seoul Survivors by Naomi FoyleMayhem by Sarah PinboroughGemsigns by Stephanie SaulterThe Glass Republic by Tom Pollack (Skyscraper Throne #2)The Warring States by Aidan Harte (Rasenna #2)Looking forward to the Swords of Good Men. I'll probably try the Rasenna trilogy if it gets good reviews. The most intriguing series is the Shiva trilogy by Amish. It's an import from India that's about the Hindu story of Shiva. Could be very interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jussi Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Anthony Ryan's Blood Song, book one of Raven's Shadow, will be released in July 2013 by Ace.From "a new master storyteller" comes the beginning of an epic fantasy saga of blood, honor, and destiny..."The Sixth Order wields the sword of justice and smites the enemies of the Faith and the Realm."Vaelin Al Sorna was only a child of ten when his father left him at the iron gate of the Sixth Order. The Brothers of the Sixth Order are devoted to battle, and Vaelin will be trained and hardened to the austere, celibate, and dangerous life of a Warrior of the Faith. He has no family now save the Order.Vaelin's father was Battle Lord of the Empire of King Janus. Vaelin's rage at being deprived of his birthright and dropped at the doorstep of the Sixth Order like a foundling knows no bounds. He has little memory of his mother, and what he will come to learn of her at the Order will confound him. His father, too, has motives that Vaelin will come to understand. But one truth overpowers all the rest: Vaelin Al Sorna is destined for a future he has yet to comprehend. A future that will alter not only the Empire, but the world.http://www.amazon.com/Blood-Song-Ravens-Shadow-Book/dp/0425267695/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1352889536&sr=1-3&keywords=Blood+Song+Anthony+Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Werthead Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Is Corvus/Atlantic Publishing going to continue putting out the slipcase editions for Chung Kuo? The print run for these have gone from 250 for Son of Heaven to 50 copies for Ice and Fire.Unknown. They've also stopped producing hardcovers for the UK market, and will instead be launching straight into tradeback. Apparently this is because the series is selling well, just not as well as had been first hoped, and Corvus aren't going to drop it or anything. It may also be because the guy who really pushed the series through at Corvus has left and a new team has taken over, and they are being more cautious.
