Sunshield by Emily B. Martin (2020)
**A lawless wilderness. A polished court. Individual fates, each on a quest to expose a system of corruption.** The desolate canyons of Alcoro - and the people desperate enough to hide there - couldn’t be more different from the opulent glass palace and lush forests of Moquoia. But the harsh desert and gleaming court are linked through their past, present, and future: a history of abductions in the desert to power Moquoia’s quarries and factories, and a bleak, inhumane future built on the sweat and sacrifice of these bond laborers. But events unfolding in the present could change everything. In the desert, outlaw Lark - known to most as the Sunshield Bandit - has built a name for herself attacking slavers’ wagons and freeing the captives inside. But while she shakes the foundation of Moquoia’s stratified society, she also has to fight to protect her rescuees - and herself - from the unforgiving world around them. In the Moquoian court, young ambassador Veran hopes to finally make his mark by dismantling the unjust labor system, if he can navigate the strict hierarchy and inexplicable hostility of the prince. And caught in the middle of it all, Tamsin is trapped within four walls, the epicenter of a secret political coup to overthrow the Moquoian monarchy and perpetuate the age-old system of injustice. Separated by seas of trees and sand, the outlaw, the diplomat, and the prisoner are more connected than anyone realizes. Their personal fates might just tip the balance of power in the Eastern World - if that very power doesn’t destroy them first.

La Fabrique des lendemains by Rich Larson (2020)
Elle décolla du quai pour grimper dans le ciel jaune terne. La Ville s’étirait dans toutes les directions. Surtout le haut. Tours gigantesques multicolores, immeubles résidentiels rotatifs, tunnels célestes qui se dépliaient et se repliaient selon la circulation. Eris s’éleva sans hâte à travers un essaim de drones. Par sa caméra ventrale, elle regardait l’upcar couleur argent qui les suivait. « Les rues basses, j’ai dit. » La voix de l’homme recelait une note d’impatience, désormais. Du code défilait sur ses yeux. Une pellicule de transpiration bordait la naissance de ses cheveux. « J’ai entendu. » Elle laissa leur poursuivant gagner un peu de terrain. « On ne vomit pas, à l’arrière, d’accord ? » Rich Larson est né au Niger. Il a vécu aux états-Unis, au Canada et en Espagne, avant de s’installer à Prague. Entre ses débuts en 2011 et aujourd’hui, il a publié un roman et près de deux cents nouvelles, régulièrement reprises dans les plus prestigieux Year’s Best du domaine et saluées par plusieurs prix de lecteurs. À tout juste vingt-huit ans, il est le nouveau prodige de la science-fiction anglo-saxonne, le fer de lance d’une SF post-eganienne qui, distillant les temps présents, synthétise le plus vertigineux des futurs. Sans équivalent en langue anglaise, élaboré avec exigence, **La Fabrique des lendemains** réunit vingt-huit récits d’une science-fiction proprement éclatante.

The Saints of Salvation by Peter F. Hamilton (2020)
Sequel to Salvation Lost. Humanity welcomed the Olyix and their utopian technology. However, mankind was tricked.

And while millions fled into space, others have continued to fight a seemingly unwinnable war. As Earth's defeat draws near, a team attempts to infiltrate the *Salvation of Life* - the Olyix's arkship. If this succeeds, the group will travel countless lightyears to the enemy's hidden enclave. From there, they could reveal its location to allies in a future timeline. Yet in the future, humanity is still hunted by its ancient adversary. And so far, hope seems distant indeed.

Monster Hunting 101 by Unknown (2020)
When I climbed out to the surface this morning, to scavenge some food for my village, I knew the odds were severely stacked against me. A mere nurse, I had no business going out into the sun where all kinds of monstrosities roamed. But what other choice did I have? All our scouts had already perished on previous surface runs, leaving us few other options. It was either take the gamble or let my people die of hunger. As if to prove my fears right, I was only out in the open for a few minutes when a pack of Kinru spotted me. Standing absolutely no chance, I started to run for my life but was quickly cornered by one of the fearsome beasts. In a last desperate attempt to defend myself, I managed to hurt one in the face…right before the creature was snatched by an even bigger monster that turned it into a snack. Then everything became a blur. When I came to, I wasn’t the same anymore. As it turns out, wounding the Kinru had earned me some mystical energy called “Bloodpoints” which gave me access to the “Hunter’s Sight.” Now, wherever I look, I have strange words floating before my eyes urging me to assign those Bloodpoints to gain incredible skills and abilities. Moreover, if I manage to kill a monster in the future, it would seem that I could use its bones to craft powerful talismans and its organs to brew magical potions. As I’ll learn, there’s a name for people like me who’ve unlocked the Hunter’s Sight: Venators. But if those new talents give me a chance to survive on the surface, I still am very much a green and weak Venator. I will need to keep hunting monsters if I want to increase my points and provide for my people. Who knows, someday, I might even grow strong enough to reclaim the surface from those foul beasts and the worst of them all: the Titans, the dreaded giants which drove humanity underground in the first place…
Faith in Iron by Cameron Johnston (2020)
**An Iron Hands story** A tech-priest faces a contagion that affects both organic material and machines – can she – with the aid of the Iron Hands – stop it in time to save an entire world? **READ IT BECAUSE** Delve into the wiles of the servants of Nurgle and discover the lengths to which the Adeptus Mechanicus and Iron Hands will go to preserve both machine and flesh in the face of immaterial horror. **THE STORY** The tech-priests of the Adeptus Mechanicus eschew the weakness of flesh, preferring to show their faith in the Omnissiah by replacing their organics with machine parts. As well as religious, this is practical – disease can't affect the machine… or can it? On the agri-world of Dundas II, Tech-Priest Viridan Shale is dealing with a deadly outbreak brought to the world by the Death Guard. Nothing is safe as the contagion affects flesh and metal alike. With both biology and machinery under threat, she must find a way to defeat the plague and survive. The arrival of Iron Hands Space Marines – who similarly strive to overcome the weakness of flesh – may prove key to the world's salvation… if they are willing to aid Shale and her allies.
