| Published by Orbit PB 512 pages RRP £8.99 You have no idea what to make of this. You meet Lieutenant “Lucky” Quinto as he leads a platoon to uncover a cache of military weapons hidden ages ago beneath the ground in an abandoned mine. It seems as though you’re reading a piece of military SF. You’re in Starship Troopers territory, or that’s what you assume: army guys battle aliens. |

| Published by Hodder & Stoughton Ltd HB 481 pages RRP £14.99 I first became interested in South Africa’s genre fiction scene when I started Something Wicked in July 2006. To grow interest in the magazine, we launched with a competition. One of the entries we received came from an unknown author named Sarah Lotz; her story, “The Perfect Man”, went on to win. Over the years I have become both a fan and a friend of Sarah’s, so I expected The Three to be good. What I didn’t anticipate was how dense, epic and yet intimate this book is. |
