Andrew Liptak’s Substack Transfer Orbit has shared 15 new titles for readers to check out. Among them are –
Lucky Starr and the Pirates of the Asteroids by Isaac Asimov (June 9th)
Blackstone is publishing one of Isaac Asimov’s classic science fiction series, the Lucky Starr novels. The first installment, David Starr, Space Ranger came out in May, with the rest to follow over the course of the year.
Originally slated to be the basis of a never-produced TV series, the story is set thousands of years in the future in an inhabited solar system, with the Council of Science, keeping things under control. In this latest adventure, Lucky Starr takes on a pirate captain named Anton, planning to take revenge for the death of his parents. Under the guise of sending a ship to be captured and blown up in pirate hands, Starr hides onboard and plans to infiltrate their ranks.
Kill All Wizards by Jedediah Berry (June 16th)
When a barbarian undertakes a long journey to consult with the Empire’s wizards, he’s met with a cold reception: he’s bewitched, manipulated and stolen from. Enraged, he embarks on a quest to kill those who wronged him. To do so means infiltrating their society and blending in to gain their trust to get close enough to kill. It looks like this one will be a lot of fun.
The Cold Between and Remnants of Trust by Elizabeth Bonesteel (June 2nd and June 16th)
Last year, I wrote about Elizabeth Bonesteel and some of her issues with the larger publishing industry and how she felt like there was a mismatch between how she saw her books and how they were marketed. She’s recently gotten the rights to the novels back, and she’s begun republishing them herself, starting with The Cold Between and Remnants of Trust.
