Posted by: | CommentsHere are a few things that have cropped up in my RSS Reader over the last few days:
First up – Pornokitsch reviews Zoo City by Lauren Beukes:
Beukes trusts her readers. She trusts us to pick up on unknown slang and languages; she trusts us to understand how her novel’s magical economy works without explaining its origins; she trusts us to like her protagonist despite introducing her as a murderer. She trusts us to care about a music scene we may be unfamiliar with, state-sponsored violence we may not have heard much about, a city we may never have visited.
Zoo City, in the final analysis, meets every Kitschie criteria – and then some.
Next up – The Eloquent Page reviews Thomas Blackthorne’s Point:
I knew nothing about Point by Thomas Blackthorne when it dropped through my letterbox. Within five pages… I was completely hooked.
Point is a sequel to last year’s novel Edge. I haven’t read the first novel but I should stress that this didn’t hamper my enjoyment of Point in anyway… Now that I have been introduced to this universe I can only hope that there will be more.
Listen to John Meaney (aka Thomas Blackthorne) reading from the first chapter:
The Functional Nerds podcast this week features our very own Lavie Tidhar, who talks about… well, pretty much everything, really. Head on over and listen.

Advent Calendar day 3, Vote for the year’s best, Some podcast news
Posted by: | CommentsAdvent Calendar
It’s day 3 on our Advent calendar, and another of our authors has a festive treat for you!
(Oh, no, he doesn’t!) Stop that.
Vote for the Year’s Best
SFBook.com are having a vote – which of their Books of the Month do you think should win their Book of the Year? Every month they’ve chosen a title they enjoyed more than any other that month, and now they want you to tell them which is the best of the best!
3 out of the 12 are Angry Robot titles – pretty good when you consider we only published books in 6 months of 2010.
The Angry Robot books up for consideration are (with quotes from the SFBook reviews):
The World House by Guy Adams
The World House is a utterly original, quite crazy and simply brilliant piece of fiction.
The Road to Bedlam by Mike Shevdon
The Road to Bedlam is a rich, detailed and impressive sequel to one of the best novels of 2009 with a gripping plot, superb characterisation and is such an effortless joy to read.
Amortals by Matt Forbeck
Amortals is an action packed sci fi thriller full of fantastic tech and a great ending, highly recommended.
The books are up against some stiff competition, though – see the full list here, and go vote (on the front page)!
