Here are a few worth mentioning:
Ian Tregillis's Bitter Seeds (US)
Sam Sykes's Tome of the Undergates (UK)
Adrian Tchaikovsky's Empire in Black and Gold (US)
Dexter Palmer's The Dream of Perpetual Motion
I especially love Bitter Seeds and Empire in Black and Gold.
I recently finished Gini Koch's TOUCHED BY AN ALIEN and it was a lot of fun! If you like MEN IN BLACK, you'll really enjoy this one. It's a fresh take on the MIB theme, and has a hot romance to boot.
Thanks for the comments.
Mad Hatter, I guess the varied publication dates for books causes a problem with this type of list. I generate them by walking around the WBB and seeing what's new. Hence, with Tchaikovsky's 4th book recently released he's no longer a debut author for me. But I've seen the PYR covers, and they're gorgeous, so any press they can get is worth it.
I completely missed Bitter Seeds and Dream of Perpetual Motion. I wonder if we have them filed in general fiction... I'll have to check.
Heather, thanks for the reading recommendation. :)
