SF Reviews.Net - Latest reviews posted to site: Novik, Castro
"SF Reviews.net is looking to be a lot busier this month than it was last month, with new books by Charles Stross, Greg Egan and Elizabeth Bear in the pipeline...and that's only scratching the surface! The most recently added reviews are:

Victory of Eagles by Naomi Novik: The fifth Temeraire novel is as exciting as the first four.
Emissaries from the Dead by Adam-Troy Castro: This deeply cynical and atmospheric murder mystery is a commendable "original" debut for a writer whose prior works have been largely media tie-ins.

Happy reading, and see you again soon ~ Thomas M.Wagner / SF Reviews.net"
