A very good, but fundamentally flawed, coming-of-age novel about race in America.
I'm not a big reader of Vietnam books, so I can't say for sure that it's the best ever written, but I have a hard time imagining a better, truer, war story than you'll find here. This is a fantastic book.
A bad mix of stories that aim for "transgressive" and end up just gross, too-obvious Twilight Zone horror, and ham-handed satire.
The third volume in the award-winning anthology series, from one of blogdom's own.
The new novel from the author of The Chronoliths, and another example of SF the way I like to see it done.
The first Dortmunder novel, and one of the best.
A nicely atmospheric WWII spy novel, that's very well done, but not quite my thing.
Epic Fantasy, with everything including a few spare kitchen sinks.
You might call it Crow Road 2: Electric Boogaloo, or "Iain Banks writes High Fidelity" or even "Wonder Boys by Iain Banks." It's got elements of all those things, wrapped up with characteristically Banksian wit and black humor.
Bear's two fantasy novels in one volume, which have survived his slide into Crichton/ Clancy territory.
