This was the shortest (and coldest) month of the year, so the list is not as long as other months'. Still, I think there's some good stuff coming up:

• Sword of the Deceiver, a new "Isavalta" book by Sarah Zettel
• Death's Head by David Gunn, a gritty military SF novel in the tradition of Richard K. Morgan and Neal Asher
• Ragamuffin by Tobias S. Buckell, which I've been told is more space opera-y than his first novel Crystal Rain
• A Fate Worse Than Dragons, another funny fantasy by John Moore
• All Together Dead, the new "Sookie Stackhouse" book by Charlaine Harris -- read them now before all your friends watch the TV show!
• Slan & Slan Hunter, a 2-in-1 of the classic A.E. Van Vogt novel and a new sequel completed by Kevin J. Anderson
• The Sharing Knife, another 2-in-1, this time putting together the two halves of what Lois McMaster Bujold originally wrote as one book anyway
• and The Harlequin, a new Anita Blake novel from Laurell K. Hamilton

And here's some of the things our sister clubs have bought that we'll also be offering to SFBC members:

• Pearl Harbor: A Novel of December 8th by Newt Gingrich and William R. Forstchen begins another series of historical military novels (this one, I believe, is slightly alternate-historical, but the series will become more so as it goes)
• The Dream-Hunter by Sherrilyn Kenyon, a paranormal romance about predators in dreams
• How to Cheat at Everything by Simon Lovell, a book for the less principled among you
• Scourge of the Seas by Angus Konstam, a non-fiction book about pirates

These are mostly for the club's June and Summer maagzines, so you'll be seeing them hitting the mail (and up on the SFBC web site) sometime in May or early June.
