SFF Book Releases for February 2010

I won't start by saying how quickly January flew by and how is it February already? Oops, kinda missed the point there didn't I? Anyway, another month, another batch of releases coming our way. Gollancz are starting to re-issue their SF Masterworks in new style covers (well, the old artwork, different colours) and this may be a starting point for me to get acquainted with more older SF, something I tried to do last year and would like to continue this year. I'm also looking forward to getting stuck in to Jeff Somers' books and have them on the shelf at the moment waiting to be read.

Other than those I'm still trying to catch up on some books from last year while I've also got some that are due out over the next few months that I'll be reading.

Of course, remember to check out the latest Fantasy and Paranormal releases over at SciFiGuy.ca :)

Thanks for the run-down!

So many books!

Charles Stross and Nancy Kress are writers I've heard very good things about, but I haven't yet read either. If only February weren't so packed full of books I've got to review... maybe come March, eh?

Really interested to read Cherie Priest's Fathom after Boneshaker last month, whatever that novel's failings.

Still, my most anticipated debut of the month has to be The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms. Here's hoping it lives up to the massive buzz!

I'm more than a little taken aback to realise Tome of the Undergates by Sam Sykes, which I'm currently reading, isn't - according to Amazon - due for a release Stateside in February. It's not a perfect book by any means, but it really is quite good; fast-paced, violent, very Joe Abercrombie. Where's the publisher love at?

Tome is a debut that I want to read before publication, but may not actually make it into the schedule :(

Stross is an author that I've only ever read one short story from and never sure where to start with him. I'll get there eventually though!

Geosynchron is another book I will give a go eventually, but once I've read MultiReal. InfoQuake was surprisngly good.

I've also got to get around to The Adamantine Palace at some point....

Wow, lots of great looking SF books coming out. I am especially looking forward to the latest volume of the Science Fiction Hall of Fame. And I really want to track down several of those SF Masterworks volumes.

El Borak is a hoot - glad to see that's back in print.
