The Blade Itself (First Law 01) (Gollancz tenth anniversary editions)
Abercrombie, Joe
Inquisitor Glotka, a crippled and increasingly bitter relic of the last war, former fencing champion turned torturer extraordinaire, is trapped in a twisted and broken body – not that he allows it to distract him from his daily routine of torturing smugglers. Nobleman, dashing officer and would-be fencing champion Captain Jezal dan Luthar is living a life of ease, by cheating his friends at cards. Vain, shallow, selfish and self obsessed, the biggest blot on his horizon is having to get out of bed in the morning – to train with obsessive and boring old men. And Logen Ninefingers, an infamous warrior with a bloody past, is about to wake up in a hole in the snow with plans to settle a blood feud with Bethod, the new King of the Northmen, once and for all – ideally by running away from it. But as he’s discovering, old habits die really, really hard indeed… especially, when Bayaz gets involved. A bald old man with a terrible temper and a pathetic assistant, he could be the First of the Magi, he could be a spectacular fraud, but whatever he is, he’s about to make the lives of Glotka, Jezal and Logen a whole lot more difficult… A classic, understated, hardcover edition to celebrate the tenth anniversary of publication.

Kim Lam is an ordinary college student, until a freak scientific accident (what else?) transforms Kim and three housemates into Sparks – and drafts them into the never-ending war between the Light and Dark. They struggle to master their new abilities – and (of course) to design cool costumes, and come up with great hero names. Turns out that ‘accident’ was just the first salvo, in a Mad Genius’s latest diabolical scheme. Now, it’s up to four newbie heroes to save the day, before they even have a chance to figure out what their team’s name should be!

Gnomon
Harkaway, Nick
In a near-future Britain, a distributed surveillance-democracy called The System knows everything you, and can even spy on your mind. But when state investigators then look into the head of a refusenik novelist, named Diana Hunter, what they find there is not her life story but that of four other people, spread across thousands of years, all vibrantly real and each utterly impossible – and, before they can unravel that puzzle, Diana Hunter, shockingly, dies as a result of the investigation, an unheard-of result, in a perfect system which protects everyone from harm… Recommended!

The Squirrel on the Train (Oberon’s Meaty Mysteries 02)
Hearne, Kevin
Oberon the Irish wolfhound is off to Portland to smell all the things – with canine companions wolfhound Orlaith and Boston terrier Starbuck, and, of course, his human, ancient Druid Atticus O’Sullivan. The first complication is an unmistakable sign of sinister agendas afoot: a squirrel atop the train. But an even more ominous situation is in store, when the trio plus Atticus stumble across a murder upon arrival at the station. They recognise Detective Gabriela Ibarra, who’s there to investigate. But they also recognise the body – or rather that the body is a doppelganger for Atticus himself. The police, hampered by human senses of smell and a decided lack of canine intuition, obviously can’t handle this alone. Not with Atticus likely in danger. Oberon knows it’s time to investigate, once more – for justice! For gravy! And possibly greasy tacos! Alongside his faithful Druid, Oberon and the other loyal hounds navigate by nose, through Portland, to find a bear-shifter friend with intel, delicious clues at the victim’s home, and more squirrels. Always more squirrels! But will our hungry band of heroes be able to identify the culprit before someone else is murdered? Will there be mystery meat in gravy as a reward or tragedy in store for the world’s (or, at least, the Pacific Northwest’s) greatest dog detective. A limited, hardcover edition from Subterranean Press.

Heart-Shaped Box (Gollancz tenth anniversary editions)
Hill, Joe
‘Buy my stepfather’s ghost,’ read the email. So, Jude did. He bought it, in the shape of the dead man’s suit, delivered in a heart-shaped box, because he wanted it: because his fans ate up that kind of story. It was perfect for his collection: the genuine skulls and the bones, the real honest-to-God snuff movie, the occult books and all the rest of the paraphernalia that goes along with his kind of hard/goth rock. But the rest of his collection doesn’t make the house feel cold. The bones don’t make the dogs bark; the movie doesn’t make Jude feel as if he’s being watched. And none of the artefacts bring a vengeful old ghost with black scribbles over his eyes out of the shadows, to chase Jude out of his home, and make him run for his life… A classic, understated, hardcover edition to celebrate the tenth anniversary of publication.

After the End of the World (Carter & Lovecraft 02)
Howard, Jonathan L
The Unfolded World is a bitter and unfriendly place for Daniel Carter and Emily Lovecraft. In this world, the Cold War never happened because the Soviet Union ceased to exist in 1941. In this world, the Nazi Großdeutschland is the premier superpower, and is not merely tolerated but indulged; because, in this world, the Holocaust happened behind the ruins of the Iron Curtain and consumed only Bolsheviks, Communists, and others the West was glad to see gone. In this world, there are monsters, and not all of them are human. But even in the Unfolded World, there are still bills to pay and jobs to do. Carter finds himself working for the German secret security service – to uncover the truth behind a major scientific joint project that is going suspiciously well. The trail takes Lovecraft and him to a distant, abandoned island, and a conspiracy that threatens everything. To fight it, Lovecraft must walk a perilously narrow path between forbidden knowledge and soul-destroying insanity. Fortunately, she also has a shotgun. A sequel to the popular Carter and Lovecraft (HC, $44.99).

The Lies of Locke Lamora (Gentleman Bastards Sequence 01) (Gollancz tenth anniversary editions)
Lynch, Scott
They say that the Thorn of Camorr can beat anyone in a fight. They say he steals from the rich and gives to the poor. They say he’s part man, part myth, and mostly street-corner rumour. And they are wrong on every count. Only averagely tall, slender, and god awful with a sword, Locke Lamora is the fabled Thorn, and the greatest weapons at his disposal are his wit and cunning. He steals from the rich – they’re the only ones, worth stealing from – but the poor can go steal for themselves. What Locke cons, wheedles and tricks into his possession is strictly for him and his band of fellow con-artists and thieves: the Gentleman Bastards. Together, their domain is the city of Camorr. Built of Elderglass, by a race no one remembers, it’s a city of shifting revels, filthy canals, baroque palaces and crowded cemeteries. Home to Dons, merchants, soldiers, beggars, cripples, and feral children. And to Capa Barsavi, the criminal mastermind who runs the city. But there are whispers of a challenge, to the Capa’s power. A challenge from a man no one has ever seen, a man no blade can touch. The Grey King is coming. A man would be well advised not to be caught between Capa Barsavi and the Grey King. Even such a master of the sword as the Thorn of Camorr. As for Locke Lamora… A classic, understated, hardcover edition to celebrate the tenth anniversary of publication.
