New on Kindle: Major Catchup Part 3 (aka, Hello Pyr Edition)

Just a little bit, before bed. Lot more tabs to go.

Oh, this may as well be called the Pyr edition. Welcome them and their (current) tally of 10 books in the Kindle store!

Silver Screen by Justina Robson

Someone decided to Upload™ himself illegally after his death. Also, how do you have sex with a cyborg boyfriend?

Mind alteration, mind control, moral dilemmas, and short-listed for the 2001 Arthur C. Clarke award.

River of Gods by Ian Mcdonald

From the writer who brought you Brasyl (not yet available in the Kindle store) comes its precursor, River of Gods, bringing a future India to life.

I’ve been waiting for this one for a long, long time.

The first two books of Edelman’s debut Jump 225 trilogy are now available in the Kindle store. The second book, MultiReal, also makes its first showing in the Kindle store today.

Starship: Pirate by Mike Resnick

Buy: Kindle Store

Well, we have book two of the Starship series, but no book one (Starship: Mutiny) in the Kindle store yet. Military SF opera.

I never feel comfortable starting smack in the middle of that type of series.

Stalking the Vampire: A Fable of Tonight by Mike Resnick

File this under humorous paranormal investigator fantasy, the sequel to Stalking the Unicorn: A Fable of Tonight (also available in the Kindle store).

No Stalking the Dragon yet, though, but there’s plenty of time.

Going Under by Justina Robson

The third book in the Quantum Gravity series. The first two (Keeping it Real and Selling Out) are not yet available.

Cyborg Action Girl is tossed into political intrigue and dangerous byplay between elves and demons.

Blood of Ambrose by James Enge

Buy: Kindle Store

Dave Freer comments, “A powerful obsessive dynastic fantasy with clever shades of Arthurian mythos.” And I definitely can’t do better than that. For those looking for a series, this is a stand-alone debut novel.

Mind you, authors and publishers sometimes go back on their word….
