Release Week: Sofia Samatar's A Stranger in Olondria, Gene Wolfe's The Land Across, Kate Maruyama's Harrowgate, Dr. Who: Eleven Stories (including Neil Gaiman's Nothing O'Clock), and a big stack of sf by Greg Egan

Posted on 2013-11-27 at 17:40 by Sam

NOVEMBER 20-26, 2013: Not one but (at least) two absolute must-listens this week, along with more new Dr. Who and new-to-audio hard sf than you can shake a stick at -- and more besides. The picks include concurrent new audio for Gene Wolfe's highly-anticipated The Land Across, and another pair of my "most missing audiobooks of 2012" which come off the list as Sofia Samatar's A Stranger in Olondria and Kate Maruyama's Harrowgate were also released this week. In "also out" there's yet more, including Joan

Release Week: Tim Powers' Hide Me Among the Graves, Lewis Shiner's Slam, Report from Nuremberg, and Krista D. Ball's Tranquility's Grief

Posted on 2013-11-20 at 19:29 by Sam

NOVEMBER 13-19, 2013: As happened last week, amidst a fairly quiet week overall there's still a pair of fantastic audiobooks from my "most missing in audio" list: Tim Powers' Hide Me Among the Graves and Lewis Shiner's Slam. Additionally, this week brings one of the most fantastically-produced non-fiction titles I've ever had the occasion to come across, an Audible-published Skyboat Media full cast production of Report from Nuremberg, complete with archive audio from the source material. The "also out

NOVEMBER 6-12, 2013: A fairly quiet week in overall numbers -- and nearly absent in concurrent new releases -- is thunderously punctuated by some fantastic new audiobooks, taking big bites out of my "most missing in audio" list: Marie Brennan's A Natural History of Dragons, Ann Leckie's Ancillary Justice, S.M. Wheeler's Sea Change, Teresa Frohock's Miserere, Samuel Sattin's League of Somebodies, and E.C. Myers' Fair Coin. Though it's not all good news, as my "seen but not heard" list this week is

Release Week: Never Knew Another, Burning Paradise, Fortune's Pawn, Sea Hearts, and Once Upon a Time

Posted on 2013-11-06 at 17:39 by Sam

OCTOBER 30-NOVEMBER 5, 2013: I've been excited about this week since I first learned that J.M. McDermott's "Dogsland" books Never Knew Another and When We Were Executioners were coming to audio, and! here they are, along with: a new novel by Robert Charles Wilson, Rachel Bach's new military sf novel Fortune's Pawn, Margo Lanagan's glimmering 2012 selkie fantasy, and the Paula Guran-edited Once Upon a Time anthology, and! plenty more besides in the "also out this week" listings including: Terry Pratchett's T

Release Week: The Violent Century, The Necromancer's House, Parasite, Dead Set, Zendegi, Two Serpents Rise, The Prince of Lies, and Shadow's Lure

OCTOBER 23-29, 2013: An absolutely packed release week so I'll spare some of the usual dithering up here to make room. Briefly: new novels from Lavie Tidhar and Christopher Buehlman would be quite a week alone, but add a new novel from Mira Grant and bring Greg Egan's Zendegi to audio -- for starters -- and there's something for everyone this week. In the "also out this week" listings: Katabasis, continuing the Mongoliad saga (sans Neal Stephenson); Downton Abbey's Dan Stevens narrates Mary Shelley's Franke

Posted on 2013-10-23 at 19:41 by Sam

OCTOBER 16-22, 2013: Roughly a half hundred new audiobooks in the roundup this week, headlined by the briefly-delayed audiobook for the long-awaited third book in Scott Lynch's acclaimed The Gentlemen Bastards series, The Republic of Thieves. The remainder of my picks this week probe the corners of the audiobook world a bit, finding another fantastic production from Skyboat Media, an ACX-published tale of overcrowded cemeteries, and a pair of Lovecraftian anthologies. In the "also out" listings, Audible has

OCTOBER 9-15, 2013: Audible's audio-original METAtropolis series returns, along with new sequels from Tina Connolly, K.W. Jeter, and (primarily for younger listeners but hey, it's) Lemony Snicket, along with (in the "also out" this week listings), Anne Rice's The Wolves of Midwinter, the four books of R.A. Salvatore's Legacy of the Drow series, along with the conclusion of Stephen R. Donaldson's Last Chronicles of Thomas Covenant and Emma Newman's The Split World. And!

Release Week: James Gunn's Transcendental, Dave Eggers' The Circle, Gordon Van Gelder's Welcome to the Greenhouse, and Brenda Cooper's The Diamond Deep

Posted on 2013-10-09 at 20:26 by Sam

OCTOBER 2-8, 2013: A very welcome Recorded Books release of a sf legend's new novel, a new Dave Eggers "very near future" dystopian satire of a culture devoted to selling their privacy for convenience, an anthology of climate change stories, and book two in Brenda Cooper's Ruby's Song all make for a delightful set of release week picks. Meanwhile in the "also out" listings you can find collections from Connie Willis and Nancy Kilpatrick, a Shakespearean Star Wars riff, Chuck Palahniuk's Doomed, the first of

Release Week: David Niall Wilson's Killer Green, Martha Wells' Razor's Edge, Hugh Howey's Dust, and Tim Lebbon's London Eye

Posted on 2013-10-02 at 14:25 by Sam

SEPTEMBER 25-OCTOBER 1, 2013: After two weeks of huge releases to end September, October tiptoes in with a quieter slate, though with a quite loud (to me) "missing in audio" title, Ann Leckie's space opera Ancillary Justice. Still, some intriguing releases this week to check out, whether it's unique noir/sf mashup, a new Star Wars tie-in, the conclusion of Hugh Howey's Wool series, or Tim Lebbon's take on a toxic, blasted London. Enjoy!

PICKS OF THE WEEK:

SEPTEMBER 18-24, 2013: Well, I warned you last week that this week would be big. Huge. The list of excellent audiobooks that fall into the "also out this week" would make for a stellar set of release week picks: V.E. Schwab's Vicious (Tor and Brilliance Audio), James A. Moore's Seven Forges, Jhumpa Lahiri's recently-ABA-longlisted The Lowland, War of the Worlds: Global Dispatches, Laura Anne Gilman's Paranomal Scene Investigations, David Tallerman's Prince Thief, Anton Strout's Stonecast, Jason M.
