I love that spine for More Of Me.
Radiate! The final volume in a good trilogy.
The Refrigerator Monologues!
The Witch who Came in from the Cold sounds interesting, but not sure if I’d groove on the format….
I liked Marcus Sakey’s Brilliant so I’ll be sure to check out Afterlife.
The title Radiate sounds intriguing
Looking forward to reading The Refrigerator Monologues.

Saga Press has publishing a lot of those Serial Box ‘seasons’ as they’re called. We reviewed Tremontaine, one season that enlarges the work of Ellen Kusner’s Riverside. He didn’t particularly like it but Ellen promised the next two seasons are much better.
I’m guessing Science Fiction for the Throne is a collection of very short sf stories.
Each just long enough for a proper shit. Now how the editor figured out just how long a such a shit is a question? An Internet poll? Random surveying? Existing medical data that was HIPA compliant?
Sakey. I’ve enjoyed the Brilliance series, and Afterlife sounds interesting.
And I Darken
Don’t know the author, but I love the titile.
I’ll say this for Baen Books: they have an impressively consistent trade dress. They’re the Penguin of MilSF!
White & Gannon: – not a recommendation; just the only two names I recognise in the list.
And 14 books in the stack, not the usual 12. You’re just doing that to be contrary aren’t you?
Dunno about the format, but ‘Witch’ sounds intriguing, just from the authors.
Having read them I will recommend White and Gannon.
