Throne of the Crescent Moon, Saladin Ahmed

Saladin Ahmed has made a name for himself in fantasy’s short-fiction circles, and has recently released his debut novel. Throne of the Crescent Moon takes epic fantasy to an inventive new world, one that has more in common with the Middle East than Middle Earth. Doctor Adoulla Makhslood, the last ghul hunter in Dhamsawaat finds himself drawn into a revolution and a plot that will devastate the world.

The Hydrogen Sonata, Iain M. Banks

After a quarter of a century, Iain M. Banks Culture series is going strong. The latest novel in the series, The Hydrogen Sonata follows a race on the brink of transcendence to another plane of existence, with all of the complicated political ramifications and exploration of existence beyond the material world.

Caliban’s War, James S.A. Corey

The second novel in James S.A. Corey’s Expanse series, Caliban’s War follows Leviathan Wakes in an explosively paced space opera. The Solar system comes to grips with the existence of an alien protomolocule that’s taken over Venus, and the crew of the Rocinante and various planetary governments race to contain a plot that could radically change humanity as they know it.
