 | The Voyage of the Sable Keech by Neal Asher
Buy new: £4.99 / Used from: £2.45 I read his debut Gridlinked and didn't like it but gambled on The Skinner and really enjoyed hence Voyage which is the sequel. Fantasy or SF ? Neither or both but certainly very inventive !

 | A Feast for Crows (Song of Ice and Fire) by George R.R. Martin
Buy new: £4.49 / Used from: £2.99 A long long wait for this installment of the highly regarded fantasy series and while it was very very good and worth waiting for I didn't think it had the punch of it's predecessors.

 | Nova Swing (Gollancz S.F.) by M. John Harrison
Buy new: £6.99 / Used from: £1.61 The sequel to the sci-fi novel Light whch was excellent. This is disappointing - can't really recommend it I'm afraid.
|
 | Recursion by Tony Ballantyne
Buy used from: £1.49 Very good sci-fi nanotech terraforming yarn with only a few central characters. Very highly recommended debut.
|
 | Salt (Gollancz S.F.) by Adam Roberts
Buy new: £1.05 / Used from: £0.01 Sci fi story about planet colonisation and what can go wrong between different communities. I will definitely be reading more of Roberts' books - Gradisil is already on the shelf.

 | The Stormcaller: The Twilight Reign: Book 1: Book One of the Twilight Reign (Gollancz S.F.) by Tom Lloyd
Buy new: £20.34 / Used from: £1.64 Wow ! Best read in ages. A brilliant fantasy debut in the mold of Erikson and Bakker. If you take a chance on any of the books listed here buy this one.
|
 | The Year of Our War (Gollancz S.F.) by Steph Swainston
Buy new: £5.49 / Used from: £0.01 Really different fantasy book about a world controlled by immortals who don't mind getting their hands dirty when faced with some dimension crossing aliens. Really clever and gripping too.
|
 | Stamping Butterflies (Gollancz S.F.) by Jon Courtenay Grimwood
Buy new: £0.21 / Used from: £0.01 OK but not a real page turner. I've read a few of Grimwood's books and prefer the more cyberpunk less "eastern mythology" stuff like Remix. I will keep buying though.
|
 | The Lies of Locke Lamora (Gollancz S.F.) by Scott Lynch
Buy new: £5.59 / Used from: £0.01 STOP PRESS !!!! This is the best book, of any genre or type, that I've read for years. I really can't recommend this enough. Rollicking adventure !!!!!
