From the fold of the British Genre Fiction Focus comes the British Genre Fiction Hitlist: your bi-weekly rundown of new releases out of the United Kingdom’s thriving speculative fiction industry. Welcome again, everyone!
In this edition of the Hitlist, I have twenty-odd notable novels for you all to anticipate, including standalone stories by Charlie Human, Celine Kiernan, Alan Spence and Natasha Carthew, sequels to The City’s Son and A Conspiracy of Alchemists, alongside additions to several series, such as Richard Kadrey’s Sandman Slim, Mark Hodder’s Burton and Swinbourne books and Amanda Hocking’s Watersong.
Keep your eyes peeled for a few conclusions, too: Emperor of Thorns ends Mark Lawrence’s account of The Broken Empire, The Beating of His Wings brings Paul Hoffman’s Sanctuary of the Redeemers series to a close, and the heavens finally fall in Heaven’s Fall, from David S. Goyer and Michael Cassut.
Several shiny new series are beginning in the next few weeks as well, including The Long War, Legend of the Duskwalker, The Valhalla Saga and the books of The Borderlands. Click through for all that and much, much more.
