This month Robert Thompson provided most of the book titles with additions by Cindy Hannikman, Liviu Suciu and Mihir Wanchoo. We are featuring 30 books. This month there were considerably more new sff releases but we tried to limit ourselves to a reasonable number and we chose the books most in tune with what's reviewed here.
The release dates are US unless marked otherwise and the books are first edition unless noted differently. The dates are on a best known basis so they are not guaranteed; same about the edition information. Since information sometimes is out of date even in the Amazon/Book Depository links we use for listings, books get delayed or sometimes even released earlier, we would truly appreciate if you would send us an email about any listing with incorrect information.

Sometimes a cover image is not available at the time of the post and also sometimes covers change unexpectedly so while we generally use the Amazon one when available and cross check with Google Images, the ultimate bookstore cover may be different.

Patterson's Witch and Wizard turned up at my workplace recently (which is weird, since I work at a game store). There was a huge bag of free promo copies, so I'm looking forward to take a look at that.
Lovegrove's Age of Odin sounds exciting; I like the mix of ancient mythology and contemporary characters. This is one I'm gonna try to get my hands on (and his other novel, The Age of Ra). Thanks :)
There is age of Zeus too; I have reviewed both and Age of Ra is more interesting, deeper, not quite one expects, while Age of Zeus is a mil-sf take on urban fantasy and more of a popcorn page turner and what is advertised in the blurb
Hi Liviu,i always look forward to ur new release spotlight.
by the way,just thought u might be interested to know that the new Liz Williams book got released this past week ,finally - The Iron Khan (Detective Inspector Chen, book 5),although its only available as an ebook on Amazon & Smashwords for now.
u also missed out on the new Mike Resnick book - The Buntline Special.
Great to know about the Liz Williams book!
Thanks.
