Paul Di Filippo reviews Adam RobertsSunday 23 February 2014 | Reviews
Special to Locus Online
Roberts's latest, Twenty Trillion Leagues Under the Sea, is a return to such an eye-popping and mind-blowing extrapolative technique, and our author outdoes himself, by creating a book that is so allusive and multivalent in its clean-limbed premise that the reader hardly knows how to parse it.

Faren Miller reviews Catherynne M. ValenteFriday 21 February 2014 | Reviews
From Locus Magazine's February 2014 issue
The Bread We Eat in Dreams proved challenging to review. Though the contents range from offbeat poetry to an award-winning novella, in a multitude of styles and voices, this isn't just a random gathering of her shorter stuff. The more I read, the more these pieces seemed to resonate both intellectually and emotionally — like the interplay of themes and movements in a symphony — for a final impact greater than the sum of its parts. Classic Reprints: FebruaryThursday 20 February 2014 | Monitor

Gary K. Wolfe reviews Lavie TidharWednesday 19 February 2014 | Reviews
From Locus Magazine's February 2014 issue
The central conceit of The Violent Century is that a German quantum physicist named Vomacht created a machine in 1932 which propagated a kind of probability wave around the world, affecting everyone in minute ways but transforming a select few into ready-made Marvel franchises, complete with Stan Lee-like monikers: Tigerman, Whirlwind, the Electric Twins, the Green Gunman, Surfer Girl, Frogman.

Paul Di Filippo reviews Allen SteeleFriday 14 February 2014 | Reviews
Special to Locus Online
With awesome, meticulous attention to scientific details, engineering protocols, bureaucratic procedures, and international politics (though the larger war is just background noise), Steele walks us through what it would have taken to build a space plane rather than an A-bomb.

Russell Letson reviews Stephen BaxterWednesday 12 February 2014 | Reviews
From Locus Magazine's February 2014 issue
Of this promised cosmic-multiverse mystery tour we get the smallest clues and winks in what generally unfolds as an epic of interstellar pioneering and solar-system expansion against a backdrop of back-home political madness, with just the smallest dashes of lurking superscience puzzles.
