I haven't yet ventured into the Malazan books for fear of it consuming my entire reading schedule but everyone seems to love them. <br /><br />And I definitely think that 2011 is shaping up to be one hell of a year for genre fiction.Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05546050685623369173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2478941067348817827.post-70488344845836325822010-05-19T15:59:31.892-05:002010-05-19T15:59:31.892-05:00Corvus by Paul Kearney - sequel to The Ten Thousan...<b>Corvus</b> by Paul Kearney - sequel to <b>The Ten Thousand</b>, his retelling of Xenephon's Anabasis.<br /><br /><b>Stonewielder</b> by Cam Esslemont - the next in his Malazan sequence (and with the news that <b>The Crippled God</b> is delayed until '11, the only Malazan full-length we'll see this year).<br /><br />I'll also echo some anticipations already found within the comments above, namely <b>Kill the Dead</b> by Kadrey, <b>Antiphon</b> by Scholes, and <b>The Black Lung Captain</b> by Wooding (that <a href="http://booktionary.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Hatter</a> has impeccable taste!), <b>City of Ruin</b> by Mark C. Newton and the <b>Swords and Dark Magic</b> anthology by Strahan and Anders.<br /><br />2011 though... holy shit. <b>Embassytown</b> by China Miéville, <b>The Cold Commands</b> by Rich Morgan, <b>His Father's Fist</b> by Matt Stover, <b>The Wind Through the Keyhole</b> (possibly?) by Steve King, <b>The Crippled God</b> by Steve Erikson, <b>The White-Luck Warrior</b> by Scott Bakker, <b>The Republic of Thieves</b> by Scott Lynch, <b>The Wise Man's Fear</b> by Pat Rothfuss, <b>The Heroes</b> by Joe Abercrombie, <b>Listener</b> (maybe?) by Warren Ellis, <b>Requiem</b> by Ken Scholes, <b>The Iron Jackal</b> by Chris Wooding ... even if only half of those see release it will be the very best year in recent memory.Alrinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2478941067348817827.post-58206993523399523892010-05-17T05:02:41.629-05:002010-05-17T05:02:41.629-05:00This is a good post.

Carey/Kushiel connection makes this one a must asap), Horns of Ruin by Tim Akers (the one book I give reasonable odds at topping Folding Knife for #1 sff of 2010) and A History of the Half Made World by Felix Gilman (next in line as odds go for #1), with Empire of Light by G. Gibson, The Scarab Path by A Tchaikovsky and The Black Prism by B. Weeks next and then Wintertide/Sullivan, Absorption/Meaney and (non-sff) Empire/Saylor rounding a top 10 expected listLiviuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04615405766065227026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2478941067348817827.post-34564678490763327322010-05-11T12:15:04.879-05:002010-05-11T12:15:04.879-05:00I'll definitely have to check out the author&#...I'll definitely have to check out the author's you got in your watch list Patrick - I haven't read much new speculative fiction and I'm setting up my reading list for the summer. <br /><br />Linked you to my blog at WordPress, by the way, so I can keep an eye on you.

As you know...I'm with you on With Great Power.<br /><br />As you know I can never contain myself to 1 or 3 of anything to my top 5 must haves are:<br /><br /><b>Dreadnought</b> by Cherie Priest - standalone sequel to <b>Boneshaker</b> in her Clockwork Century world.<br /><br /><b>The Buntline Special</b> by Mike Resnick - first in his Weird West steampunk series. Resnick can usually deliver a fun read.<br /><br /><b>Kill the Dead</b> by Richard Kadrey - sequel to Sandman Slim. Badass Urban Fantasy.<br /><br /><b>Antiphon</b> by Ken Scholes - Third book in the The Psalms of Isaak series, because it is the best long series going.<br /><br /><b>Black Lung Captain</b> by Chris Wooding - Sequel to <b>Retribution Falls</b>, which was one of the most enjoyable reads of the last year.Mad Hatter Reviewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16020033648108721552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2478941067348817827.post-20471060090553100602010-05-10T10:08:25.501-05:002010-05-10T10:08:25.501-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Mad Hatter Reviewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16020033648108721552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2478941067348817827.post-2182122727999973092010-05-10T10:03:34.791-05:002010-05-10T10:03:34.791-05:00Oh...

I very much enjoyed a number of his books so I am looking forward to The Derwish House.<br /><br />Under Heaven by Guy Gaviel Kay is also on the list. I already have a copy but I haven't gotten around to reading it yet.<br /><br />Another highly anticipated book is The Crippled God by Steven Erikson (asuming it will be published this year, haven't seen a release date yet). I'm very curious how he is going to wrap up this massive series.Valashainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13766127527509268224noreply@blogger.com
