Release Week: The Human Division, Glamour in Glass, Shades of Earth, Rage is Back, and Impulse

Posted on 2013-01-16 at 20:41 by Sam

Well, it’s the middle of January and 2013 is getting into full swing, and though there’s not a big crop of highlight-reel concurrent releases this week, one of my most-missing titles of 2012 is here, along with the first installment of John Scalzi’s serial novel The Human Division. Also: at the bottom, three five more “Whispersync for Voice” deals I stumbled across this week.

The Human Division gets underway with a double-length (bit under 2.5 hours) first episode, The B-Team: The Human Division, Episode 1 By John Scalzi, Narrated By William Dufris for Audible Frontiers. Dufris was the narrator on Old Man’s War, the sf universe in which The Human Division is set. Don’t forget to come back on Friday for part one of Dave’s Listen-a-Long!

That “missing” novel from 2012 is Glamour in Glass By Mary Robinette Kowal. As was her debut novel, 2010’s Shades of Milk and Honey, for which Glamour in Glass is a sequel, it is narrated by the author, who is an experienced narrator with a very recent narration credit on a The Mongoliad SideQuest novella, and just in 2012 narrated Tears in Rain By Rosa Montero, Ashes of Honor: An October Daye Novel, Book 6 By Seanan McGuire, and The Museum of Abandoned Secrets By Oksana Zabuzhko. Here: “Mary Robinette Kowal stunned readers with her charming first novel, Shades of Milk and Honey, a loving tribute to the works of Jane Austen in a world where magic is an everyday occurrence. This magic comes in the form of glamour, which allows talented users to form practically any illusion they can imagine. Shades debuted to great acclaim and left readers eagerly awaiting its sequel. Glamour in Glass continues following the lives of beloved main characters Jane and Vincent, with a much deeper vein of drama and intrigue. In the tumultuous months after Napoleon abdicates his throne, Jane and Vincent go to Belgium for their honeymoon. While there, the deposed emperor escapes his exile in Elba, throwing the continent into turmoil. With no easy way back to England, Jane and Vincent’s concerns turn from enjoying their honeymoon…to escaping it. Left with no outward salvation, Jane must persevere over her trying personal circumstances and use her glamour to rescue her husband from prison…and hopefully prevent her newly built marriage from getting stranded on the shoals of another country’s war.”

They're ready to start life afresh - to build a home - on Centauri-Earth, the planet that Amy has traveled 25 trillion miles across the universe to experience. But this new Earth isn't the paradise that Amy had been hoping for. Amy and Elder must race to uncover who - or what - else is out there if they are to have any hope of saving their struggling colony and building a future together. But as each new discovery brings more danger, Amy and Elder will have to look inward to the very fabric of what makes them human on this, their most harrowing journey yet.
