The Book of the New Sun (Vol. 1: Shadow and Claw) and The Book of the New Sun (Vol. 2: Sword and Citadel) by Gene Wolfe are in the database and show under the Fantasy Masterworks list. They are also part of the SF Masterworks. Can they be added to that list as well with the alternate cover?

This has been discussed a couple of times before. There's a reason for it -- database structure limitations don't provide the ability to do this easily.

Steven Poore: The Heir To The North (pub. 2015 Kristell Ink - 2016 British Fantasy Awards Best Newcomer nominee)
Steven Poore: The High King's Vengeance (pub. 2016 Kristell Ink) - sequel to the above
Lila Bowen: Conspiracy of Ravens (pub. 2016 Orbit) - sequel to Wake of Vultures
Alan Smale: Eagle in Exile (pub. 2016 Del Ray/Titan) - sequel to Clash of Eagles
Sophe E. Tallis: White Mountain (pub. 2014 Kristell Ink)
A.F.E. Smith: Darkhaven (pub. 2015 Harper Voyager)
A.F.E. Smith: Goldenfire (pub. 2016 Harper Voyager) - sequel to the above


These are all in.

The third book in A. Smith's current series is due out in June, so it doesn't have a synopsis yet, or I would've taken care of it now. If you ask for it closer to it's street date, one of us will get it done.





Hiya

The third book in A.F.E. Smith's series, titled Windsinger, is now out in ebook format in the UK - I just downloaded it to my Fire. Is it possible for someone to add it to the database so I can add the trilogy to my Triumvirate Challenge please?

Many thanks in advance.

Naomi.

White Horse is in and the sequel is in process but doesn't have a releases date yet. When you notice that it's out, or has a confirmed release date, give us a heads up on this thread and one of us will see to it.

Could you please start adding the James Axler Deathlands books? If you're not up to doing all of them right now, the one I am currently reading is Red Holocaust (Book 2). Thanks!

Gollancz is notoriously uncommunicative about when they actually publish new titles and they have stopped numbering them.  As far as I can tell the Wolfe books appeared in the sf masterworks series in november 2016, which would put it right after China Mountain Zhang and Starship Troopers. Both of those were published in october.

Note that the order we present them in on our list is our best guess.

Gollancz does not publish a list and the books are not numbered, so about the only way to find out about new books issued in the series is Amazon searches, and the only way to tell series order is to look at a book's publication month/year on Amazon UK.

 

Someone seems to be doing a pretty good job of keeping up the Wikipedia entry for SF Masterworks; I recommend using that as your guide.

Best guess is good enough for me! I am just using "publication order" as a guide to make this into an interesting book club experience, and I want to make sure I'm not missing any. Thanks for the help!

Hello! Back to pester you again! In addition to that Deathlands book, could you please add Asimov's Gold: The Final Science Fiction Collection for me? It would be perfect for the Genre Non-Fiction Challenge, since about half of it is stories, and the other half is Asimov's advice on writing science fiction (needless to say, I'm excited about it!) Thank you!
