JULY 24-30, 2013: July comes to a close with: another in a long line of strong 2013 debuts, narrated by one of the best in the business; the latest Sandman Slim; a well-received late 2012 sf novel of near-future nano-drugs; an early 2013 self-published sf novel which first came to my attention for its striking cover art and is now here as well-produced self-published audiobook; an audio original; and the two novels in Jay Lake's City Imperishable series. And! Plenty more to pick from this week as well
