Peccato che succederà solo in America, pertanto rimanete seduti
Ma la notizia merita una certa eco anche in Italia, vista la portata degli autori in campo: Lois McMaster Bujold e Alastair Reynolds!
Del secondo, uno dei miei autori preferiti, uscirà il terzo capitolo della serie Poseidon's Children in attesa di vedere cosa sortirà il progetto a quattro mani pensato con Stephen Baxter previsto per l'anno prossimo.
La serie ha dei risvolti interessanti sul nostro prossimo futuro climatico e di prima espansione nel Sistema Solare e oltre. Questa la sinossi di Poseidon's Wake:
The cryptic message originated seventy light-years away from the planet Crucible, where Ndege Akinya lives under permanent house arrest for her role in the catastrophe that killed 417,000 people. Could it be from her mother, Chiku, who vanished during a space expedition decades earlier? Ndege’s daughter Goma, a biologist, joins the crew of the Travertine dispatched to Gliese 163 to uncover the source behind the enigmatic message. Goma’s odyssey will take her not only into the farthest reaches of space, but centuries into her family’s past where the answers to the universe’s greatest mysteries await...

McMaster Bujold non ha certo bisogno di presentazioni e un nuovo capitolo nella saga Vorkosigan era stato ampiamente annunciato!
SPOILER: La Regina Rossa (Cordelia), ora vedova e regina di Sergyar, appunto, dovrà ricostruirsi una vita da sola, questa la sinossi in inglese:
Three years after her famous husband’s death, Cordelia Vorkosigan, widowed Vicereine of Sergyar, stands ready to spin her life in a new direction. Oliver Jole, Admiral, Sergyar Fleet, finds himself caught up in her web of plans in ways he’d never imagined, bringing him to an unexpected crossroads in his career. Meanwhile, Miles Vorkosigan, one of Emperor Gregor’s key investigators, this time dispatches himself on a mission of inquiry, into a mystery he never anticipated – his own mother. Plans, wills, and expectations collide in this sparkling science-fiction social comedy, as the impact of galactic technology on the range of the possible changes all the old rules, and Miles learns that not only is the future not what he expects, neither is the past.
