Are there any authors whose books you eagerly anticipate and tend to buy at launch? (pawb.social)

Nowadays I don't really have any authors or book series like this. As I kid I used to get really excited for a new Series of Unfortunate Events or Alex Rider book. For a while I kept my eye on Adrian Tchaikovsky, but lately I've found some of his novels to be hit or miss.

The only book release I'm currently looking forward to is Brigands & Breadknives in the Legends & Lattes series by Travis Baldree. The other two books have been cosy and wholesome, and it's become a little tradition of mine to read these books around Christmas.

I liked Eversion… but one of my friend didn’t so maybe not this one

There’s a standalone in his Revelation Space Trilogy: Chasm City that I find particularly telling about his writing style

Or maybe House of Suns

Chasm City was amazing. I really need to read House of Suns, don't I.

Revengers was nice too, but very different

[–] TribblesBestFriend@startrek.website 1 points 8 months ago

House of Suns is something else but I quite enjoy it. The reason why a galaxy disappear in the sky is 👌

Revengers ?
