Orbit books has always been close to my heart. They were the first publisher to approach me about review copies, they’ve released some bloody good novels and the staff and their authors are approachable and eager to embrace the blogger movement. Well, now that they’ve just released a list of the upcoming novel’s being released this Fall/Winter, I’m about ready to tie the knot with them.
Why?
Peter F. Hamilton and Iain M. Banks.
I’ve been making a concentrated effort to catch up on the science fiction genre and so have been trying to check out some of the recent classics. Peter F. Hamilton and Iain M. Banks are two of the authors I’m most eager to dive into, but I’ve been having trouble getting my grubby hands on their novels (without resorting to order online, which is a dangerously tempting practice at the best of time…). In particular I’ve been interested in picking up Hamilton’s Nights Dawn Trilogy and Banks’ Use of Weapons (actually on their Spring/Summer release list), so imagine my surprise when I found out that Orbit was going to re-release both of these.
