Dear Friends
This is the last week for Stafferâs Book Review. You are probably weeping uncontrollably. Iâm not. Itâs not because I donât love my site. I do. But, weâve come to the point where it has reached its logical conclusion. I have said much of what I wanted to say, and I have found new outlets for the rest. In addition, I have become increasingly burdened with other responsibilities. My careerâŠ

War Dogs by Greg Bear
I have never read Greg Bear before. To science fiction geeks this is like admitting Iâve not read Hunger Games in line for the Catching Fire midnight release. This is at least partially because Iâm not a huge classic science fiction geek, but also because no one has ever sent me a copy of a Greg Bear novel. And Iâll be the first to admit these days I mostly read what IâmâŠ

Something I Care About
Do you remember this postI wrote about death in science fiction and fantasy? It was about my father-in-law who died almost two years ago from pancreatic cancer. Itâs the same disease that killed Iain Banks and Steve Jobs. For those who donât know, pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest diseases in the world. According to the American Cancer Society, the one-year relative survival rate is 20%,âŠ

Jo Walton is one of those writers who commands some readers to read everything she writes on blind faith. Iâm not necessarily one of those people, but I recognize her appeal. Her newest project, due out in early 2014 is titled The Just City. Itâs the story of time-traveling Pallas Athene and a social experiment. The result is a school with thousands of a children, teaching mortals to surpass theâŠ

Ancillary Sword by Ann Leckie
How to talk about Ancillary Sword? In the front pages of the novel, I am quoted about itâs predecessor, saying âAncillary Justice does everything science fiction should do. It engages, it excites, and it challenges the way the reader views our world.â A sequel, doing many of the same kinds of things, is by its very nature starting the race with its legs tied togetherâŠ

The Future of Pyr: Reply Hazy, Try Again
Editorâs note: I believe Lou Anders leaving Pyr is a red flag for the imprint. I also believe that Anders is a very good editor, art director, and person. Nothing in this article is intended to discredit his ability. Publishing is a casino, as Kameron Hurleyâs coined phrase goes. Sometimes things just come up snake eyes. However, rumors have been bubbling in the back channels for months withâŠ

I apologize for the lack of reviews lately. Life has caught up with me to some degree. My kids, in particular, are now old enough to demand an excessive amount of attention. Who the hell do they think they are anyway? Not to mention the day job has become increasingly demanding and for some reason all of my friends are getting married. Assholes. Also, Iâve picked up a lot of things with Tor.com,âŠ

Review of a Handful of Books
Sorcererâs Legacy by Janny Wurts
Janny Wurtsâ debut novel, Sorcererâs Legacy, was published in 1982. Reading it is confirmation of that fact. It engenders nostalgia for a brand of fiction thatâs largely gone. Where such an accusation is often damning, in the case of Sorcererâs Legacy itâs a recognition of whatâs best about that generation of fantasy literature.
The narrative is pretty straightâŠ

The Series is Dying. And the Internet Is Killing It.
Youâve heard of A Song of Ice and Fire. Itâs a little series by a guy named George R.R. Martin. The first book, The Games of Thrones, debuted in 1996 to much critical fanfare. The novel won the 1997 Locus Award and was nominated for both the 1997 Nebula Award and the 1997 World Fantasy Award. The novella âBlood of the Dragonâ, comprising the Daenerys chapters, won the 1997 Hugo Award for BestâŠ

My first epic fantasy novel, The Mirror Empire, came out this month. It was one of over 300 other science and fiction books that came out this month. That doesnât count self-published titles. It also doesnât count the other story media vying for our attention today â new video games, television shows, and movies. The world is a noisy place, and the reality is that itâsâŠ

Breaking Down the Hugos: Careful Like
Why am I doing this? Got me. I think Iâm doing it because the Hugo Award is important to me. Itâs the one award I believe has significance outside our insular community. It has name ID, and that has power. Data also has power. With data we can explain the world around us. We can break something down into its component parts and understand how it works. If we understand how something we works, weâŠ

I am flying to London in a week to be a part of Loncon3. I have been nominated for a Hugo Award with my co-editor and publisher and blogging soul mate, Jared Shurin (eesh, that sounds creepier than it is). Also, I participated in wrangling the cats for the Literary Program, which means if you see panels you like Iâm happy to take the credit. If you donât like them, blame Dr. Who. Iâm sick of thatâŠ

A Week of Reading
A plane ride to the east coast yielded significant reading time, which resulted in finished reads of two novels and a short story collection. The latter was the first read on the outbound flight, its mathematically precise cover drawing the eye like a child to breakable objects. Jurassic Londonâs Irregularity, edited by Jared Shurin, is one of the most cohesive short story collections Iâve everâŠ

 Today, Sam Sykes unveiled his cover for his fourth novel, and first with Orbit Books, The City Stained Red. Orbit Art Director Lauren Panepinto did the cover herself, using voodoo. Personally, I adore the type setting, although I was more  a fan of the background from an earlier version that was circulated. Either way this cover strikes me at something very eye catching on a shelf.

The childâs father, the King, wants to kill him because the prophecy threatens his rule. But the childâs mother wants to protect him, so she smuggles him out of the castle to be raised by commoners.
