JULY 10-16, 2013: Well... yet another Release Week post coming nearly a week late. I could try to excuse this with time spent on a lot of additions to the "Coming Soon" listings, including Margaret Atwood's MaddAddam (September 3), James Gunn's Transcendental (August 27), Mur Lafferty's Ghost Train to New Orleans (March 4, 2014) and, well, too many to list up here.

Posted on 2012-06-20 at 2:31 by Sam
The release week for June 19 brings even more summer big-idea science fiction, led by two much-anticipated novels. The first (though how do you pick between them?) is Existence by David Brin, Narrated by Kevin T. Collins, Robin Miles, and L. J. Ganser for Audible Frontiers, concurrent with its hardcover and e-book release from Tor Books.
