Portada de Sooner or Later Everything Falls into the Sea

Aquí os traigo la que será portada de la nueva recopilación de relatos cortos de Sarah Pinsker, creada por Matt Muirhea.

El libro tendrá por nombre Sooner or Later Everything Falls into the Sea y todavía desconocemos cuál será la tabla de contenidos, pero sí se ha anunciado la inclusión de una historia totalmente nueva. Es de suponer que incluirá sus recientemente nominados “And Then There Were (N-One)” o “Wind Will Rove”pero realmente no sabemos nada más.

Orbit Books anuncia la primera novela de fantasía de Ann Leckie

Orbit Books ha anunciado la publicación de la nueva novela de Ann Leckie, un libro de fantasía titulado The Raven Tower, que se publicará a principios de 2019. No hay mucha información al respecto, salvo este párrafo:

Listen. A god is speaking.
My voice echoes through the stone of your master’s castle.
This castle where he finds his uncle on his father’s throne.
You want to help him. You cannot.
You are the only one who can hear me.
You will change the world.

Esta es la portada:

El diseño de la portada es de Lauren Panepinto y la imagen de Arcangel Images.

¿Qué os parece? Para mí, la portada es bastante genérica así que no consigue llamar mi atención.

Anunciada la publicación de una cuarta entrega de la serie The Masquerade

Se ha anunciado la publicación de una cuarta entrega de la serie The Masquerade, escrita por Seth Dickinson. La primera entrega, llamada The Traitor, no me acabó de convencer, pero no se puede negar el potencial de la historia.

Originalmente estaba planteado como una trilogía, que se completaría con The Monster Baru Cormorant y otra obra todavía sin título definitivo. Pero según el editor Marco Palmieri, la segunda entrega se ha convertido en un libro tan extenso que han tenido que partirlo en dos (cómo me suena esta historia). Así que realmente lo que iban a ser tres libros se han transfomado en cuatro, aunque afirman que la segunda y la tercera entrega tendrán entidad por sí mismas.

Angry Robots publicará dos libros de Myke Cole

En 2019 Angry Robot publicará dos novelas de Myke Cole, enmarcadas dentro del subgénero space opera.

Cole es conocido por su serie de ciencia ficción militar Shadow Ops y lo reseñamos aquí con The Armored Saint, el inicio de su trilogía fantástica.

Los libros, que todavía no tienen título, tiene esta carta de presentación:

A lifelong Search-and-Rescuewoman, Coast Guard Captain Jane Oliver is ready for a peaceful retirement. But when tragedy strikes and Oliver loses her husband and her plans for the future, she finds herself thrust into a role she’s not prepared for. Suddenly at the helm of the Coast Guard’s elite SAR-1 lunar unit, Oliver is the only woman who can prevent the first lunar war in history, a conflict that will surely consume not only the Moon, but Earth as well.

Según el autor, su idea es tomar un cuerpo del ejército de los EE.UU. y ver su desarrollo en el futuro. Hemos visto infinidad de libros con la evolución del FBI, de la NSA, de la CIA y de cualquier conjunto de siglas que se nos ocurra, pero no de los Guardacostas.

Esperamos tener más noticias sobre estos libros pronto.

Portada de The Consuming Fire

Hoy os traigo la portada de la que será continación de la nominada al Hugo The Collapsing Empire. Se titulará The Consuming Fire y promete más diversión de esa a la que nos tiene acostumbrados Scalzi.

Y la sinopis:

The Interdependency, humanity’s interstellar empire, is on the verge of collapse. The Flow, the extra-dimensional pathway between the stars, is disappearing, leaving planets stranded. Billions of lives will be lost—unless desperate measures can be taken.

Emperox Grayland II, the leader of the Interdependency, is ready to take those measures. But it’s not quite that easy. There are those who believe the collapse of the Flow is a myth—or an opportunity for them to ascend to power. And while Grayland prepares for disaster, others prepare for civil war. It’s a war that will take place in the halls of power, centres of industry and altars of worship as much as between spaceships. Nothing about this power struggle will be obvious or straightforward… and all of human civilization is at stake.
