The best new sci-fi this month with a tj clun-thriller and new Adrian Tchaikovsky

Humanoid mosquitoes, foreign contact on deadly moons, implants that let you know that your partner is thinking … Science Fiction novels offered in February feel interesting and I look forward to transporting myself to others Worlds in this cold, dark time the year of the year. Whether you are after classic science fiction from them like Gareth L. Powell and Adrian Tchaikovsky, high concept thrillers or flooded future earths, you’ll find it here. Enjoy!

After reading Tchaikovsky’s excellent sci-fi novel Alien Clay For the new Scientist Book Club – we are in the middle of it right now, so sign up and join us; It’s free and we’re talking to Adrian next month! – I’m definitely in the mood for more from this brilliant author. This latest is a tale of survival and first contact on a deadly pitch-black moon that hums with radioactivity. When two people are forced to make a landing on the hostile moon, they begin to read the story of the strange species that live there. Our Sci-Fi Palter Emily H. Wilson really enjoyed this watch out for his review next week.

Elias convinces Anna of going to Onemind to celebrate their 10 -year anniversary; This high -tech company will give them implants that allow them to hear each other’s thoughts. But Anna may have something to hide from her partner … I love a good thriller with a high concept, and this is a fun (and scary) idea.

Powell is the British Science Fiction-award-winning author of Stars and bones and Embers of WarAnd his latest novel sounds like another great slice of hard science fiction. It follows the story of archaeologist Ursula Morrow, who becomes infedéd with a foreign parasite. Her concerns about jeopardizing her career come to nothing as the earth is subsequently destroyed and no one really needs archaeologists anymore. Two years later, she is in a refugee camp in a backwater world when she is tasked with finding the alien artifact that infected her, hoping it could help humanity survive.

I absolutely love how wonderfully weird this novel sounds. In 2272, New York and Buenos Aires have been underwater for years, and the patagonic archipelagos are the Earth’s only countries. Our protagonist is a humanoid mosquito whose terrible appearance repulsion all together. As the world collapses around him, Dengue Boy seeks the truth about his origin – and the meaning of his life. This is translated from Spanish by Rahul Berry and I think it sounds amazing!

I like the sound of this blend of archeology and science fiction, where a mountain effortlessly arrives at Marlborough Downs and threatens over the city of Swindon. Clare Holworth is part of an archaeological examination of its origin, in an attempt to manager the site before the Public Press to get to the summit growing out of control.

This mix of sci-fi and thriller follows Nate Cartwright, lonely and unemployed as he returns to his family’s summer hut in Oregon to start again. In the cabin he discovers a man named Alex and a 10-year-old girl, Artemis Darth Vader, who is much more than she thinks-and who is in danger of forces who want to control her.

I can promise that this is science fiction because I have read it yet, but it is compared to work by speculative fiction writers such as Margaret Atwood, David Mitchell and Kaliane Bradley (The Minister of Time Author), and that sounds very exciting. It centers on a woman who never ages or dies, but over the centuries and across the continents they do around her – in scary and similar ways. Can she be stopped? It may be that this shadows more to horror than sci-fi; I postpone back eith way.

More speculative horror here, this time compared to the films of Jordan Peele and Stranger Things – I am very much here for. Calla is 25 years old and re-reads guardian to his 16-year-old brother Jamie. All the time, she is home -cut by “The Nightmare”, where Jamie and their middle brother Dre stay dying. When Jamie’s actions spirals out of control, the siblings go on the run and find themselves facing a threat where their lives and reality hang in balance.

This is for my colleague Octavia E. Butler fans, and you’re done out there: The book looks at slightly well -known manuscripts in Butler’s collection and in her childhood influence and writings and exploring “Animals, science fiction, black girls and racial and racial and racial and racial and Racial and racial and racial environmental justice, ”says its publisher.

I mentioned this last month, but hardback is actually out in February, so I remind you of it as it sounds good. As I said before, it has been tipped by our sci-fi spokesman Emily H. Wilson as one to look for, and follows sci-fi author Zelu when she decides to write a novel about and AI after the extinction of humanity. But as she writes, the lines between what she writes and the reality begin to blur …
