Publishers Weekly has their yearly look at the SFF world this week, and the lede is the question of the genre dying. (How come no one thinks Mysteries are dying because James Patterson is published as "fiction," or that romances are clearly ailing because Danielle Steel hates the term? Why do only we get this grief?)

If you can get past that, PW also asked each major SFF publisher about the book they're most excited about in the coming months -- titles including John Scalzi's The Last Colony, Justina Robson's Keeping It Real, Brian W. Aldiss's Harm, Patrick Rothfuss's The Name of the Wind, Charlaine Harris's All Together Dead, and Kim Harrison's For a Few Demons More.
