It is, truly, provably, the End Days for the Gzilt civilization.

An ancient people, they helped set up the Culture ten thousand years earlier and were very nearly one of its founding societies, deciding not to join only at the last moment. Now they've made the collective decision to follow the well-trodden path of millions of other civilizations; they are going to Sublime, elevating themselves to a new and almost infinitely more rich and complex existence.
Amidst preparations though, the Regimental High Command is destroyed and Cossont is blamed. Wanted dead — not alive. Now, aided only by an ancient, reconditioned android and a suspicious Culture avatar, Cossont must complete her last mission given to her by the High Command — find the oldest person in the Culture, a man over nine thousand years old, who might have some idea what really happened all that time ago. Cossont must discover the truth before she's exiled from her people and her civilization forever — or just plain killed.

In Rue Morgue, the jungles of Tarzan, the fables of Aesop, and outer space, the apes in these fantastic tales boldly go where humans dare not. With a foreword from the director of Rise of the Planet of the Apes, this provocative anthology delves into our cultural fascination with - and dread of - our simian cousins. These classic stories explore the lighter and darker sides of apes, mirroring our own deepest desires and anxieties. "Evil Robot Monkey" introduces a disgruntled chimp implanted with a chip that makes him cleverer than both his cohort and humans alike. In "Murders in the Rue Morgue," a murder mystery unravels with the discovery of a hair that does not appear quite human. Merging steampunk with slapstick, "The Ape-Box Affair" has a not-so-ordinary orangutan landing on Earth in a spherical flying ship--where he is promptly mistaken for an alien. King Kong sets a terrible example with booze and Barbie dolls in "Godzilla's 12-Step Program." If you've ever wondered what makes humans different from apes, soon you'll be asking yourself, is it less than we think?

uvek me okrepi kad čujem da taj "Edgar Allen Poe" ima novu priču!

Kaze Valentica:

I am so excited that I can finally announce this!
We've sold two new novels to Tor!I will tell you about them!
One is a companion piece to Deathless, tentatively titled Matryoshka. This is not a sequel, but a side-by-side novel to complete what I'm calling the Leningrad Diptych. It is a retelling of Ivan and the Firebird set during the children's evacuation of Leningrad. Some familiar faces will pop up, as in all Russian fairy tales, but it will be a story all its own. The gender-shifting trickster Grey Wolf, the Water of Life and Death, firebirds, valkyries, talking dolls and the return of Baba Yaga–Matryoshka is a dark mirror of the London evacuation and a journey into the heart of the war.
The other is my SF decopunk alt-history Hollywood pulp solar system space opera horror mystery! That's right, The Radiant Car Thy Sparrows Drew is all grown up. (It will probably not be called anything like Radiant Car when it comes out.) A sprawling epic about love, fame, film-making, and the search for identity and authenticity in a densely populated solar system full of planets as seen through the lens of classic pulp SF: waterworlds, ice planets, and jungle moons. Imagine The Artist with giant Venusian tentacle whales.
Decopunk goodness will be out in 2014, Matryoshka in 2015.
Eeeee! New babies! I can't wait!

divota, pa ja nemam overeno ni petinu ovoga... 

Sad je jasno da ja ništa ne čitam, a i od onoga što sam čitala pola ne bih stavila ni u širi izbor za bilo šta. Mislim, Temeraire je simpatičan ali toliko suštinski nebitan romančić da - wtf, spisku, wtf.

Temerer je simpatična ideja, a onda ga udavi sa računanjem koliko komada dvopeka ide u porciju za doručak...(i nastavi da davi kroz ona dva nastavka koje sam pročitala). Ontopik: ja sa ovog spiska nisam pročitala mislim 90%.

Tu sam već čula za veći broj naslova, a pročitala ih 23.

Tu sam već čula za veći broj naslova, a pročitala ih 23.

ja pročito 15, jedan ostavio na pola (MAN IN HIGH CASTLE) a još 5-6 mi čuče na policama i čekaju svoj trenutak (kao i neki koji nisu na policama).
dakle, osim tih 15, barem još toliko nameravam da pročitam (ako dovoljno poživim).

Дец мор лајк ит! Двадесет комада с ове друге листе, а прва... ех, та прва... 

Ova lista iz '85. i vredi. Ova nova je skaredna, najblaže rečeno. Tu je po sredi hajpovanje, a ne istinska vrednost.

Ha! 30ak, nisam siguran za par naslova.

Ima još nekoliko za koje nisam siguran, ali polovine ovih se ne sećam. Odnosno, sećam se da sam ih čitao, ali ne sećam se o čemu se radi. Većinu toga pročitao sam do drugog srednje, recimo.

први списак, ладно ни десет, изгледа да сам само читао до 85 (али сам бар прочитао 41)

do 85 imam 40 procitanih knjiga (zahvaljujuci ponajvise kentauru, stvarno su pogadjali dobre stvari) koje sam vrlo lako prizvao u secanje jer su zaista ostavile jak utisak na mene.  sa drugog spiska nabrojao sam 10-ak naslova a onda shvatio da od tih 10ak jedva 2-3 zasluzuju da se nazovu remek delom, ostali su...blago receno nisu remek dela...tako da se slazem sa nightflierom po tom pitanju.

Pa eto, cika Pringle je bio ozbiljan covek za ozbiljan posao...    nije mala stvar biti dobar editor, treba tu talenta taman koliko i za pisanje, a mozda i vise, sad se to lepo vidi. 

Upcoming4.me has posted the cover art and synopsis of the upcoming novel The Long Earth by Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter. Here's the synopsis:

The possibilities are endless. (Just be careful what you wish for. . . .)
1916: The Western Front. Private Percy Blakeney wakes up. He is lying on fresh spring grass. He can hear birdsong and the wind in the leaves. Where have the mud, blood, and blasted landscape of no-man's-land gone? For that matter, where has Percy gone?
2015: Madison, Wisconsin. Police officer Monica Jansson is exploring the burned-out home of a reclusive—some say mad, others allege dangerous—scientist who seems to have vanished. Sifting through the wreckage, Jansson find a curious gadget: a box containing some rudimentary wiring, a three-way switch, and . . . a potato. It is the prototype of an invention that will change the way humankind views the world forever.
The first novel in an exciting new collaboration between Discworld creator Terry Pratchett and the acclaimed SF writer Stephen Baxter, The Long Earth transports readers to the ends of the earth—and far beyond. All it takes is a single step...

 

My next YA novel is Pirate Cinema, which hits stands on Oct 2. The book has been complete for a long time, and now is the part in its lifecycle where it is in ballistic flight, having been launched from my device with all the skill and concentration that I can muster, with nothing else for me to do until it arrives at its destination. It's a bit of a nailbiting interlude in the lifecycle of a writer, and that's why it was such a treat to read Daniel Kraus's starred review of it in the next Booklist. I don't think I'm supposed to quote the whole thing, so here are some highlights:

...Doctorow's series starter is his most cogent, energizing call-to-arms to date, an old-fashioned (but forward-thinking) counter-culture rabble rouser that will have dissidents of all ages dying to stick it to the Man...
It's generally accepted that fussing with computers is a narrative buzzkill, yet Doctorow's unrivaled verisimilitude makes every click as exciting as a band of underdog warriors storming a castle. It's not exactly Abbie Hoffman's Steal This Book (1971), but with its delirious insights into everything from street art to urban exploring to dumpster diving to experimental cinema, it feels damn close.


Color me delighted! I'll be on tour with Pirate Cinema in October, and Charlie Stross and I will also be touring our novel-for-adults, Rapture of the Nerds, in early September.

The aliens are here, all around us. They always have been. And now, one by one, they're destroying our cities.Dodge Mercer deals in identities, which is fine until the day he deals the wrong identity and clan war breaks out. Hope Burren has no identity and no past, but she does have a multitude of voices filling her head.
In a world where nothing is as it seems, where humans are segregated and aliens can sing realities and tear worlds apart, Dodge and Hope lead a ragged band of survivors on a search for sanctuary in what may be the only hope for humankind.

The Long Earth 

 



Harlan Ellison will republish a long out of print collection of pulpy short stories with Kicks Books at the end of the month.
Pulling a Train was originally published in 1959 as Sex Gang, "a brown-paper wrapper collection of his men's magazine  stories" written under the name Paul Merchant. This early "juvenile delinquent fiction" is a quite different than the speculative fiction that built Ellison's career. Check it out:

For  the lively set, prepare to blast into orbit with blade-wielding  ferocity as Ellison takes you into a cobblestone wilderness fraught with  hate and violence, a street level cosmos where shadowy creatures are  hard, and blunt, and malicious, and where hope hangs a shingle that  reads, "GET LOST". In  the realm of 1950′s juvenile delinquent fiction, it was Ellison who  dragged the unnamed genre from the gentle hands of the social workers  into a filthy basement, where he worked it over, with great  satisfaction, into an alternate universe of hate and pain. Ellison is  the king of JD fiction. Of this, there can be no debate.
