Excited?
Man, even if I wasn't on the list, I'd be excited. New Ian McDonald!!! (among many, many other things)
Yup. Me – eager to read both Dervish House and Geosynchron.
Hey, Lou, isn't Chasing the Dragon the fourth book in Robson's Quantum Gravity?
Besides being excited for that, in particular out of this list I am eager to read:
Mike Resnick, Stalking the Dragon
Paul McAuley, The Quiet War
Kay Kenyon, Prince of Storms
And others will likely find there way into my reading queue, of course. Ever since I picked up my first books from your imprint, I have been almost uniformly pleased with the quality of the work, across the board.
Looks like another great year.
I picked up Mike Resnick's Starship Mutiny today – will give it a go to see if I should get the rest of the series.
Wonderful selections coming up. I'm looking forward to:
Matthew Sturges, The Office of Shadow
George Mann, Ghosts of Manhattan
Adrian Tchaikovsky, Empire in Black and Gold
Adrian Tchaikovsky, Empire in Black and Gold
Jon Sprunk, Shadow’s Son
Thanks for the list! Even though this isn't a paperback, check out my first and recently released novel, Long Journey to Rneadal. This exciting tale is a romantic action adventure in space and is more about the characters than the technology.
That's a wonderful list! the next year will be a wonderful year for Pyr with that list!
Ian McDonald – drool…
I just finished reading Jay Lake's GREEN. Next – Stephen Baxter's FLOOD.
also just picked up the current mag IMAGINE FX with its interview with Martiniere and Andrew "Android" Jones tutorial on painting human faces.
Looks like you have some good stuff coming up. I'm especially looking forward to the Tom Lloyd (of course) and the James Barclay and the Adrian Tchaikovsky.
Quick question: I guess there is no publishing rule/copyright on using a title for a series that another author has used? I ask because I thought Stephen Lawhead had a Sword of Albion series 10-20 years ago? I always wondered if an author could protect their series title.
Titles can't be copyrighted. There is a mystery book called THE BLADE ITSELF that came out around the same time as Joe Abercrombie's fantasy. And Cory Doctorow has been titling all his stories after famous works recently, including "True Names" from my own anthology, FAST FORWARD 2.
Jvstin – oops. Thanks. Fixed.
Can't wait for QG4. I just finished Going Under, and what a cliffhanger. (!!)
There's a lot to look forward to on that list.
I think QG4 is the best.
Thanks for the info, Lou. I had also wondered about that "other" The Blade Itself, so you answered that for me, too.
My pleasure Jeff. I know the two Blade authors have since corresponded.
Some interesting stuff coming down the pike – Edelman, Mann, Chadbourn, MacDonald, and Tchaikovsky, but where's The Devoured Earth by Sean Williams?
