Congratulations to all our DMLA authors who have been chosen for Tor.com Reviewers’ Choice: The Best Books of 2020! Machine by Elizabeth Bear The Tyrant Baru Cormorant by Seth Dickinson Harrow the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir Network Effect by Martha Wells

NPR: An absolutely stunning thriller, queer and fierce and smart: think Fury Road meets Orphan Black.

Author of ELATSOE Darcie Little Badger’s A SNAKE FALLS TO EARTH, a tale influenced by traditional Lipan Apache storytelling structure about a girl from Earth and a Cottonmouth kid from the land of spirits and monsters who agree to help each other save their families, to Nick Thomas at Levine Querido, for publication in fall 2021, by Michael Curry.

Publishers Weekly: This stunning near-future thriller from Divya (Runtime) tackles issues of economic inequality, workers’ rights, privacy, and the nature of intelligence…. Divya keeps the pace rapid, and her crack worldbuilding and vivid characters make for a memorable, page-turning adventure, while the thematic inquiries into human and AI labor rights offer plenty to chew on for fans of big idea sci-fi. Readers will be blown away.
