This month we are featuring 30 books. There are more than twice as many new sff and related releases this month in traditional publishing not to speak of the countless indies from Amazon and Smashwords but we are limiting ourselves to books that will be reviewed here or are similar with such. For the full schedule of February 2012 titles known to us, you can consult the Upcoming Releases page.
The release dates are US unless marked otherwise, though for books released in the UK and US in the same month but on different dates we use the earliest date without comment and they 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 Since information sometimes is out of date even in the Amazon links we use for listings, books get delayed or sometimes even released earlier, we would truly appreciate if you would send us an email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.

I got really excited when I saw the Stephen Deas book, but then I realised Order of the Scales came out months ago, and I already own and have read it.
Cannot believe the hype around Throne ... every single blog in my follow list had a post about it!
Mr. Ahmed is popular in the sff community - we (re) published a story of his here on FBC which i liked quite a lot and I am very eager to read the book too and i should get a copy next week.
Outside of this the only sff I do not have and am interested in is the Stephen Hunt one.
There are a few more books on the list I plan to read and review 9or already read for that matter) but I have all, only reading time is scarce
With the Legend of Eli Monpress is there any word about when the 4th book in the series is going to be released? I believe this is an omnibus that collects the first 3 books, which were initially released late in 2010.
From our Upcoming releases page that Robert maintains so nicely I see:
“The Spirit War” by Rachel Aaron. Release Date: June 5, 2012. Published by Orbit. (FAN).
Hi Elfy
The fourth book is going to be out in June with the fifth & final volume tentatively set for November. The omnibus is going to be released in February along with the Miranda & Gin prequel novella.
