Terry Pratchett's Raising Steam debuts strongly on four lists.
Paul Di Filippo reviews Karl SchroederSunday 30 March 2014 | Reviews
Special to Locus Online
What Schroeder capitalizes on is the shared emotional underpinnings of the classics. We don't want our new SF to blindly replicate the dead furniture of the past, but rather to deliver the same classic sense of wonder in new clothing. Mission accomplished here! Periodicals: late MarchSaturday 29 March 2014 | Monitor
New issues of Asimov's, Black Static, and Dreams and Nightmares, plus what's new at Tor.com and Strange Horizons

Russell Letson reviews Allen SteeleWednesday 26 March 2014 | Reviews
From Locus Magazine's March 2014 issue
Twenty years ago I found "Goddard's People" to read like minimally fictionalized journalism, but V-S Day is a fully formed historical-procedural WWII drama — if it were a movie, the book's date-stamp chapter headers would be superimposed on establishing shots: "June 1, 1943, Somewhere over the Pacific," "December 21, 1941, Peenemünde." New Books : 25 MarchTuesday 25 March 2014 | Monitor

Patricia Briggs' Night Broken debuts at #2 on the New York Times list.
Paul Cornell: Impossible ThingsSunday 23 March 2014 | Perspectives
Excerpts from Locus Magazine's March Issue interview
The series deals with a group of undercover police who suddenly gain the ability to see all the supernatural stuff in London. What's important, really, about these books is absurdity: the notion that a group of professional people, who have their training and systems, find themselves up against something that's impossible. Periodicals: mid-MarchSaturday 22 March 2014 | Monitor
New issues of Beneath Ceaseless Skies, The New York Review of Science Fiction, On Spec, and Perihelion
Spotlight on SF SignalFriday 21 March 2014 | Perspectives
SF Signal started in 2003 when we noticed a criminal lack of any science fiction-oriented blogs on the Internet. Being the tech geeks we are, we decided to start our own blog as a place to share interesting links and bits of SF/F and to avoid clogging the corporate e-mail servers with our stuff.

The US edition of Ann & Jeff VanderMeer's The Time Traveler's Almanac, first volume in a series of collected R.A. Lafferty short fiction, and SF Gateway reprints and omnibuses by Bayley, de Camp, Heinlein, McAuley, and Willis
Gary K. Wolfe reviews Christopher PriestWednesday 19 March 2014 | Reviews
From Locus Magazine's March 2014 issue
It takes a bit of triangulation to arrive at the core of Christopher Priest's endlessly tantalizing and ultimately very satisfying The Adjacent, and some of that triangulation is quite literal: characters, events, and places are doubled and tripled, and the central apocalyptic images are areas of land in which everything has been obliterated... New Books : 18 MarchTuesday 18 March 2014 | Monitor
US editions of Terry Pratchett's Raising Steam and Will Elliott's The Pilgrims, and a title by Glenda Larke

Stefan Dziemianowicz reviews Joe R. LansdaleFriday 14 March 2014 | Reviews
From Locus Magazine's March 2014 issue
Lansdale's latest collection, Bleeding Shadows, features 21 stories and nine poems. It's the biggest collection of his work produced to date and his most creatively varied. Only about half of its selections are weird or fantastic in nature, but anyone who likes that side of Lansdale's writing will enjoy the others. Locus Bestsellers, MarchThursday 13 March 2014 | Magazine
Bestsellers from specialty bookstores are led by Neil Gaiman's The Ocean at the End of the Lane, George R.R. Martin's A Dance with Dragons, John Scalzi's Redshirts, and titles by Ian Doescher and R.A. Salvatore.
Paul Di Filippo reviews Eileen GunnWednesday 12 March 2014 | Reviews
Special to Locus Online
Eileen Gunn's wry, droll intelligence and cockeyed storytelling magic shine forth like some kind of quasar beacon from every one of these surprising, irreplaceable stories — two of which have never before seen print. New Books : 11 MarchTuesday 11 March 2014 | Monitor
Eileen Gunn's collection Questionable Practices, Ken MacLeod's Descent, Robert Reed's The Memory of Sky, and titles by Black, Briggs, Cameron, Cook, Cooper, de Castell, Herbert & Anderson, Pass, and Sprunk

Joan Slonczewski: Field of DiscoverySunday 9 March 2014 | Perspectives
Excerpts from Locus Magazine's March Issue interview
In The Highest Frontier I try to show both creative and destructive expressions of faith. The college chaplain is the force for progressive religion, religion that humanely engages science. Whereas there is another view in the book, the geocentrist view that says everything just centers around the Earth. People think that is ludicrous, but in fact, geocentrism is out there. Periodicals: early MarchSaturday 8 March 2014 | Monitor
New issues of Apex, Beneath Ceaseless Skies, Clarkesworld, GigaNotoSaurus, Jupiter, Lightspeed, Nightmare, and Quantum Muse

David Weber's Like a Mighty Army debuts on four lists.
Cory Doctorow: Cold Equations and Moral HazardSunday 2 March 2014 | Perspectives
From Locus Magazine's March Issue.
Two stories have been coming to mind more often than the others lately, and not because of their wisdom: rather, because they embody the worst parts of modern shortsightedness. They present a kind of blueprint for disaster, a willful and destructive blindness whose self-deception is perfectly mirrored in these two classics of SF. March Issue Table of ContentsSaturday 1 March 2014 | Magazine
The March issue features interviews with authors Joan Slonczewski and Paul Cornell, lists of forthcoming books through December 2014, a new column by Cory Doctorow, a spotlight on SF Signal, lots of news about awards, people, and publishing, and reviews of short fiction and new books by Christopher Priest, Jeff VanderMeer, Karl Schroeder, Reggie Oliver, and many others.
