This month Robert Thompson provided most of the book titles with additions by Cindy Hannikman, Liviu Suciu and Mihir Wanchoo. We are featuring 54 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 Since information sometimes is out of date even in the Amazon/Book Depository links we use for listings, books get delayed or sometimes even released earlier, we would truly appreciate if you would send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.

Thanks for posting this! There are some good books being released in August that I'm pretty excited about.
Of the books on the list we have already 5 reviews - Second Sight plus four US debuts reviewed earlier on UK publication (Matthew Hughes, Mann, Remic, Shevdon)
I agree that August is awesome for me too; there are three novels that will most likely make my top 10 for the year and are main reviews to come - Weeks, Hamilton, Huso, several more that were excellent (Van Name - will review next, Matthew Hughes, Hamerton) and several I do not have yet but plan to get and review asap (Kowal, Tchaikovsky, L. Jagi Lamplighter), while the Asher and Deas books are also to be read soon.
Of the older books I read Mysterium and Century of the Soldier in original publication, though the latter may differ in the last part so i will check it out on publication.
