Okay. That is most definitely Sci-Fi. It takes a place in the same universe as the three previous books in the Old Man's War series. It's written from the point of view of the character Zoe (whom I can't tell you about without getting into explaining most of the elements in the three previous stories and that will get too long), but apart from that John Scalzi is very secretive about it and won't tell when in the time line it takes place or anything else.

We'll just have to wait and see.

OMG a new one to add to the list of boks to look forward to in 2008

Anathem - Neal Stephenson

Stephenson returns to Sci-Fi with a 900 page Space Opera in September. Although it will probably have some sort of Mathematics in it.

1. The Red Wolf Conspiracy by Robert VS Redick - comes out April here!
2. Kraken (or whatever it might be called) by China Mieville - if this book even exists... no-one seems to know
3. Lamplighter (Monster Blood Tattoo book 2) by DM Cornish

1 - A Dance with Dragons (of course ), George RR Martin
2 - Toll the Hounds ( and any of the new novella's relating to the Malazan world), Steven Erikson
3 - The Last Argument of Kings, Joe Abercrombie
4 - Fables, Bill Willingham - waiting for the next volume after the 10th - Good Prince
5 - Fullmetal Alchemist, Hiromu Arakawa -18 manga's already out and still ongoing! I have 10 at hand, and already looking into buying the next 8. These are actually pretty good (leagues better IMHO than a lot of above-average/good western comics/graphic novels), but the problem is that this might go on and on and on (which is usually the case with Japanese comics), wish they'd wrap up the whole storyline like the cool vertigo titles; Sandman, Preacher et al. so that collecting them wouldn't be such a hassle.

Cheers, DeepThought

The Lies of Locke Lamora/Name of the Wind 'big debut' of 2008 is already generating some intriguing pre-release press. I'm reading an ARC now and if it finishes as it has started, this will be an absolutely HUGE release for next year. Titanic meets Gormenghast meets Master and Commander.

Aye, I second this. Even though it should have been released by now, none of the Fantasy bookstores of my town has it. The guy behind the counter in one, however, had a look at your review, and decided to order it right away.

What I hear about this book kindle hopes that this might become a new Great Atmosphere reading experience. Just the cover is enough reason to buy it:

Reminds me of The Scar by China Miéville. Mmm...
