Welcome to another edition of SF Book Releases This Week. As a way of thanks to the publishers who sent me physical books, they get their entry listed with book description as well as listed on our Book Giveaway page. If I missed a title releasing this week (including yours), let me know. After our blog post last week, “Clinging to the Wreckatge: How to Save Science Fiction,” which was partly inspired by T.C. McCarthy’s blog about moving to YA, I’m very excited to include in this post a KickStarter campaign, War Stories, with one of his stories in it. Click on the book images to buy from Amazon.com or click the header link to the publisher’s website.

“In Fiendish Schemes, K. W. Jeter returns to the Steampunk world he left twenty-five years ago with guns blazing—very strange guns, to be sure. To my mind this is Jeter’s best book, with more than enough cool Steampunk ingredients to make me jealous. I wish I could simply steal half a dozen and put them into my pocket for later use, but I’ll have to be satisfied with merely reading—and rereading—the book. You should too.”
—James P. Blaylock, author of the Langdon St. Ives novels

When Nikola Tesla is murdered and blueprints for his super weapons are stolen, Tweed and Nightingale are drawn into a global cat and mouse chase with his killers. What’s more, it seems that the people who shot Nikola Tesla are the same people responsible for Octavia’s mother’s disappearance. As the two cases intertwine, Tweed and Nightingale’s investigations lead them to a murdered archeologist and a secret society called The Hermetic Order of Osiris. Fleeing the cult’s wrath, they go undercover on the luxury airship, The Albion, setting out on her maiden voyage to Tutankhamen’s View, a five star hotel built in the hollowed-out and refurbished Great Pyramid of Giza.
In Egypt, the duo begin to unravel the terrible truth behind Tesla’s death, a secret so earth-shattering that if revealed it would mean rewriting the entire history of the world. But if the cult’s plans aren’t stopped, Britain may lose the future.

About Timothy C. Ward
Whew, nothing I HAVE to purchase this week, although lots of temptation. The Vandermeer book is on my Wishlist for upcoming birthday/Christmas.
I know, I’m half sorry for posting this series because I don’t want people to feel like they’re always tempted to buy something for coming here. Still, you never know when you catch someone with a new amazon gift card or who has been waiting for a book to release.
Wonderbook does look very interesting and is right for you with your appreciation for art.
