Welcome to another edition of SF Book Releases This Week! A couple observations on this week’s titles. First, William Meikle.

Odd Men Out, by Matt Betts, is a different kind of book than I’m used to, but it worked for me, taking over a reading queue that was getting out of hand. I credit TV shows like Jericho and Revolution for enticing me to like Civil War type dystopias, where factions within the country are […]
