Compared with Fantasy’s 172 books in 2011 this is a much smaller number, and this is significantly down on the 159 SF of 2010.Īgain, like Fantasy, many of the year’s releases were sequels or continuations of series. According to Locus Online at the time of writing (beginning of December) there have been 76 SF novels published this year. In this second part we look at Science Fiction books.Īs we’ve said in the Fantasy review, the global recession has clearly affected the publishing world. Right: with that over, let’s get started. (In fact, it never does, but the intention is always there….!) We try and limit it to five each, but it doesn’t always happen that way.
At the moment this seems to be a ‘UK first, US later’ thing, but by no means always.Īt the end, Rob and I will try and mention our year’s favourites. Putting it simply, some books may reappear even though they were mentioned previously. I should really point out before we start that there is always some slippage here, as books get published in different places around the world at different times. (This is something like our ninth, I think!)įor the uninitiated, this is where Rob Bedford and I try to pull together what we see as key genre books from the previous twelve months.
So here we are again: our usual review of the year.
