About the book
The Carls just appeared—and April May just became famous.
When 23-year-old April stumbles across a towering, armored statue in Manhattan, she uploads a quick video. By morning, it’s viral. By nightfall, she’s a global sensation. But she’s not the only one—Carls have appeared in cities around the world, and April’s at the center of the mystery.

Smart, funny, and unsettlingly prescient, An Absolutely Remarkable Thing is a dazzling debut that blends sci-fi mystery with a razor-sharp look at fame, identity, and the internet’s power to build—or destroy.

About the book
In 2144, everything is owned—drugs, data, even people.
Jack is a rogue scientist-turned-drug pirate, fighting Big Pharma with bootlegged meds for the poor. But her latest hack goes wrong. The drug she reverse-engineered makes users addicted to work—fatally so. Now she’s being hunted.
On her trail: Eliasz, a government agent with a violent past, and Paladin, a newly minted military robot learning to navigate identity, desire, and loyalty.
As their chase spans continents and moral lines blur, Autonomous asks what freedom really means in a world run by corporations and bound by patents. Can autonomy exist when ownership defines everything?
Tense, smart, and wildly original, Annalee Newitz’s Hugo-nominated debut is Neuromancer for the biotech age—a bold fusion of hard sci-fi and urgent ethical questions.

About the book

As a dreamwalker, Paige works in London’s underground, using her rare powers to infiltrate minds. But under the Republic of Scion, “unnaturalness” is punishable by death. When she’s arrested for a murder she didn’t commit, Paige expects execution.

To survive, Paige must harness her gift, outwit her captors, and decide whether to trust the enemy whose help might be her only way out.
With sweeping worldbuilding, a fierce heroine, and a simmering slow-burn romance, The Bone Season is the explosive start to Samantha Shannon’s epic dystopian fantasy saga.

"A Memory Called Empire perfectly balances action and intrigue with matters of empire and identity. All around brilliant space opera, I absolutely love it."—Ann Leckie, author of Ancillary Justice
Ambassador Mahit Dzmare arrives in the center of the multi-system Teixcalaanli Empire only to discover that her predecessor, the previous ambassador from their small but fiercely independent mining Station, has died. But no one will admit that his death wasn't an accident—or that Mahit might be next to die, during a time of political instability in the highest echelons of the imperial court.
Now, Mahit must discover who is behind the murder, rescue herself, and save her Station from Teixcalaan's unceasing expansion—all while navigating an alien culture that is all too seductive, engaging in intrigues of her own, and hiding a deadly technological secret—one that might spell the end of her Station and her way of life—or rescue it from annihilation.
Arkady Martine's debut novel A Memory Called Empire is a fascinating space opera and an interstellar mystery adventure.
"The most thrilling ride ever. This book has everything I love."—Charlie Jane Anders, author of All the Birds in the Sky

About the book
Detective Sergeant Kat Ballantyne just wanted a quiet weekend at a crime-writing festival. What she got instead was a locked-room murder and a very public corpse.
The victim? A bestselling crime novelist with a talent for making enemies.
What looks like natural causes to most sets off Kat’s internal alarm. Something’s wrong—too tidy, too convenient. As she digs deeper, she uncovers cutthroat rivalries, secret affairs, and literary grudges stacked high as the to-be-read pile.
Every suspect has a motive. Every alibi has a crack.
But this case isn’t just about finding the killer. It’s about asking the bigger question: when justice and morality don’t align, which one wins?
Kat’s instincts tell her she’s close. But the truth? That’s another story entirely.

I’m not always given the luxury of choice, but now I have a huge one to make. I only hope I don't lose my crown, my heart, or myself in the process…
Royally Rearranged is a sizzling, swoony, closed-door romantic comedy.
