Russell Letson reviews Linda Nagata's The Red: First LightWednesday 28 August 2013 | Reviews
From Locus Magazine's August 2013 issue
I am very happy to see a new SF novel from Linda Nagata after much too long... The novel's vision of the military — or at least of the soldier and his or her most immediate context of competence, loyalty, dedication, and courage — is anything but disrespectful or dismissive. The setting in which these virtues are employed, tested, and sometimes betrayed, however, is something else again. New Books : 27 AugustTuesday 27 August 2013 | Monitor

Paul Di Filippo reviews Christopher PriestWednesday 21 August 2013 | Reviews
Special to Locus Online
Priest's newest, The Adjacent, is another instance of this novelist's dominant predilection or technique... The book is a both a marvel of craft and feeling, with the aloof, godlike technics being perfectly balanced by the emotional storytelling. New Books : 20 AugustTuesday 20 August 2013 | Monitor

From Locus Magazine's August 2013 issue

Faren Miller reviews Tim PrattWednesday 14 August 2013 | Reviews
From Locus Magazine's August 2013 issue
In Tim Pratt's short fiction, setting doesn't keep to its place as background but finds ways to come alive. In Antiquities and Tangibles and Other Stories, you'll see it magicked into a human form, open to other dimensions, haunted by insanity, close enough to endless that no scientific theory could explain it...
