We’re kickstarting the week with several engrossing SFF titles, including fresh installments in beloved series and the returns of beloved authors with new standalone novels.

THE MIMICKING OF KNOWN SUCCESSES BY MALKA OLDER

2 starred reviews!

Older (…AND OTHER DISASTERS) packs a punch in this slim volume, delivering a romantic sci-fi mystery replete with ruminations on environmentalism and the importance of adapting to change…Combining an old-timey aesthetic and a powerful message, this sapphic genre-bender is a treat.”–Publishers Weekly, starred review

“The two main characters have an engaging chemistry…This quiet yet compelling whodunit will attract fans of Becky Chambers or Connie Willis.”–Booklist, starred review

FEED THEM SILENCE BY LEE MANDELO

“This impressive novella from Mandelo (SUMMER SONS) probes the bounds of human empathy in the face of ecological crisis…Mandelo delivers a powerful message about environmentalism and the limits of technology that doubles as a page-turning story about a collapsing marriage. Urgent, intimate, immediate, this is sure to wow.”–Publishers Weekly, starred review

ANTIMATTER BLUES: A MICKEY7 NOVEL BY EDWARD ASHTON

Ashton’s breezy characters, especially a few alien creepers able to communicate with the humans, delight, and the grungy details of colony life are rendered as realistically as Mickey’s hunger pangs. It’s good fun with a surprisingly effective closing twist that sci-fi fans will savor.”–Publishers Weekly

THE CHOICE: THE DRAGON HEART LEGACY BY NORA ROBERTS

“Bestseller Roberts expertly weaves threads from the previous two books of her Dragon Heart Legacy series into an epic climax and gratifying grand finale (following THE BECOMING)… Roberts raises the stakes enough to keep readers guessing from moment to moment. Add in a little romance to round out the tale, and the result is a rewarding outing for old and new fans alike.”–Publishers Weekly
