Night Shade Books
The Algebraist
Iain M. Banks
Night Shade Books, 2006
A must read
Banks's foremost non-Culture novel and in my opinion his best work so far, it is a must read for any Sci-Fi fan. Not one for spoiling the plot I will only say that it has certainly earned its spot on my "favorites" bookshelf next to Asimov's, Heinlein's, and ...
After the Downfall
Harry Turtledove
Night Shade Books, 2008
In a magic world a nazi officer gets a 2nd chance to choose right or wrong
Another exploration by Harry Turtledove of what happens when people who are not wholly evil find themselves fighting on the wrong side, and of whether there is anything they can do about it ... The story begins as the Russians are over-running Berlin in 1945. ...
The Living Dead

Night Shade Books, 2008
Excellent Zombie anthology
What could be more enjoyable than a Zombie story anthology? How about enjoying one during and after Hurricane Ike, with no power and candlelight?? How about one that includes three of my all-time fav authors (Dan Simmons, George R. R. Martin and Stephen King)? How ...
Implied Spaces
Walter Jon Williams
Night Shade Books, 2008
Not Free SF Reader
There once was a time when if a book said Walter Jon Williams, I would get it, as long as I knew about it and could find it. Some I still have not. I detested Days Of Atonement, however, and though the Dread Empire's Fall book I tried was very average - the same for ...
An Empire Unacquainted with Defeat
Glen Cook
Night Shade Books, 2008
Glen Cook has been heralded as the godfather of modern heroic fantasy; his influence on the genre is unquestionable. But long before Garrett, P.I., before The Instrumentalities of the Night, before The Black Company, there was The Dread Empire... The Dread Empire, a gritty world of larger-than-life plots, nation-shattering conflict, maddening ...
Shadow of the Scorpion: A Novel of the Polity
Neal Asher
Night Shade Books, 2008
Origins of Ian Cormac
Another excellent page turning book from Asher... what Asher has created with the Polity universe is an ideal storytelling platform, complete with AI "Philosopher Kings" that make any turn of events possible. How Asher uses these tools is the key to his stories, and ...
Wastelands: Stories of the Apocalypse

Cory Doctorow

Night Shade Books, 2008
A fine collection of Apocalypse stories by great authors
With anthologies, I normally list the Table Of Contents, however because it can be viewed by rolling your mouse over the second available image below the book picture, I won't list it. There are 22 stories in this collection, by such authors as Stephen King, George ...
Ice, Iron and Gold
S.M. Stirling
Night Shade Books, 2008
Combat and More
Ice, Iron and Gold (2007) is a collection of SF and Fantasy stories. It contains thirteen short stories -- fourteen in the limited edition -- from various anthologies. One is original to this collection. Riding Shotgun to Armageddon (Armageddon, 1998) is a story ...
Fast Ships, Black Sails
Naomi Novik
,
Garth Nix
, ...
Night Shade Books, 2008
Do you love the sound of a peg leg stomping across a quarterdeck? Or maybe you prefer a parrot on your arm, a strong wind at your back? Adventure, treasure, intrigue, humor, romance, danger - and, yes, plunder! Oh, the Devil does love a pirate - and so do readers everywhere! Swashbuckling from the past into the future and space itself, Fast Ships, ...
Incandescence
Greg Egan
Night Shade Books, 2008
Read carefully towards the end
I loved the book. I can't make my argument without spoiling the book completely for new readers, but the reviewers that thought the ending was abrubt have missed an important fact, some things are not as they seem, that we are meant to deduce for ourselves at the end ...
The Dragon Never Sleeps
Glen Cook
Night Shade Books, 2008
War in space
Glen cook is a masterful author in the SF / Fantasy war genre. This book is perhaps the best SF book he has ever written. It has everything that a hard SF reader will love from an exploration of biomedical ethics to a stab at the question of what truly makes us human. ...
Majestrum: A Tale Of Henghis Hapthorn
Matthew Hughes
Night Shade Books, 2007
No Junk Food Speculative Fiction, Please
Matt Hughes has offered up yet another richly imagined run of prose with Majestrum. Take a police procedural, dress it in what Victorian prose wanted to be when it grew up, send it into the vastness of colonized space, and there you go. If you like a leisurely ...
The End of the Story (The Collected Fantasies of Clark Ashton Smith, Vol. 1)
Clark Ashton Smith
Night Shade Books, 2007
Indispensable: Smith's fantasies restored to their full splendor
As established here and reinforced by the second volume, all five books in this series are essential to anyone interested in Smith's work and literate fantasy as a whole. Connors and Hilger have followed earlier textual studies by Donald Sidney-Fryer, Steve Behrends, ...
A Cruel Wind: A Chronicle Of The Dread Empire
Glen Cook
Night Shade Books, 2007
Early Glen Cook
Having been recommended this book I was eager to get started reading it when it arrived. Now, I love most of what I have read by Glen Cook, especially the Black Company series (if you haven't tried it, check it out), but I must say that although this is unmistakably ...
Prador Moon: A Novel Of The Polity (Novel of the Polity)
Neal L. Asher
Night Shade Books, 2006
BERSERKER-like Intergalactic War Story
Neal Asher's PRADOR MOON (2006) is similar in many ways to the BERSERKER stories written by Fred Saberhagen. The big difference is that the ruthless BERSERKER machine enemy is replaced the a Crab-like PRADOR enemy, and the humans are basically ruled by Artificial ...
