Temmi, a young trash collector stuck in a dead-end job on a garbage planet, finds herself with a golden ticket she never expected: the opportunity to be cast on an interstellar dating show starring the brother and sister heirs to the galactic empire. Through diplomatic challenges and dramatized dates, twenty-four women will compete to marry the prince and princess—and to win the dynasty’s favor for their home planet.
Temmi may have been hand-picked to date the quiet, bookish prince, who is immediately taken by her brash personality and their shared passion for the sciences. But she can’t seem to keep away from the princess—and even though she’s strictly off-limits, their chemistry is undeniable.
But when contestants start turning up dead, whispers begin to circulate that some competitors might be harboring anti-imperialist motivations—Temmi among them. And suddenly it’s clear that so much more than feelings are at stake.
In fact, very few of the participants of Love Galaxy have come on the show to find love.
Sexy, snarky, and revolutionary, this fast-paced thrill ride will hook lovers of reality TV, fans of thoughtful sci-fi, and anyone who lives for drama.

Chicago Review of Books: “This is a savvy release by Tor and a smart and engaging work by Walton and Palmer.”
The genre of science fiction has been stereotyped and maligned for too long, and two of its contemporary champions, Jo Walton and Ada Palmer, would like to set the record straight.
It’s hard to imagine a pair better suited to the job. They are decorated science fiction authors in their own right. Walton won Hugo and Nebula Awards for Among Others and Palmer earned the Astounding Award for Too Like the Lightning. Only a select few have been so knighted by the science fiction gods, and that alone gives them a unique perspective. But, as they handily demonstrate in their passionate defense of science fiction, Trace Elements: Conversations on the Project of Science Fiction and Fantasy, Walton and Palmer deserve honorary accolades for their voluminous experience as readers. In point of fact, these tremendously well-read authors proudly identify as science fiction and fantasy (SF&F) fans and draw liberally from the well of fandom throughout this rousing and strikingly candid broadside.

Library Journal: The underqualified misfits undertaking this intergalactic art heist have no idea what mission they’ve actually signed up for. They think they’re going to steal back the art treasures that Earth gave up in return for a quick fix to their onrushing apocalypse. Now that Earth is repaired, it wants its stuff back, even if they have to steal it. The crew thinks the mission is sanctioned, their leader believes that everyone will forgive his deceptions, and the art historian is in this to get her lover back. Meanwhile, their friendly alien pilot with the handy spaceship plans to use them as a convenient scapegoat for nefarious plans of their own. It will be a miracle if any of them get out of this one alive. Tanzer’s (Creatures of Charm and Hunger) sci-fi heist caper surprises everyone, including readers, every parsec of the way.
VERDICT Inside this combination of Beth Revis’s Full Speed to a Crash Landing with Becky Chambers’s To Be Taught, If Fortunate is a story about alien con artists, self-deceptive historians, self-aware clones, and self-centered cyborgs, along with a surprising look at what it means to be real in both art and relationships.

The residents of Mariner’s Cove are changing…
In the aftermath of a violent storm, a collective obsession is rapidly developing among the people of this quaint suburban neighborhood. Random, everyday items left scattered upon the lawns, the streets, and the shoreline all seem to call out to them. There is an item for almost everyone, and each item has a certain hold over the person who finds it—a hold that soon turns into unwavering infatuation. They hide their items from each other, obsess over them, and they will do anything—anything—to protect them.
The collective hum of bees’ wings…
A young boy finds himself the possessor of a strange and inexplicable power. Is the arrival of this power linked to the increasingly odd and dangerous behavior of the residents of Mariner’s Cove? Has he been granted this power in order to thwart whatever is about to happen in this small, bayside community, or is there a more sinister purpose?
All hail the Dragon…
All eyes are on him now.
The residents of Mariner’s Cove are watching.
They move as one, like a solitary organism, and will do anything to succeed in their single-minded purpose.
They will not be stopped.

Publishers Weekly: An exercise in elaborate worldbuilding, this ambitious outing from Hugo and Nebula Award winner Walton (Or What You Will) transports readers to the fantastical city of the Serenissima, “built on nothing but layers of magical mist and memories and dreams.” The Serenissima’s geography shifts with the fog that drifts through it, “opening a new square here, closing up an old canal there, like a face caught in the fleeting act of changing expression.” Its waterways, maintained by shared belief in their existence, connect eight disparate worlds, including Earth. The Venetians believed the Serenissima into being first, and through it soon found neighbors: beings who look much like the Venetians, but with the faces of cats, dogs, or domino masks garlanded with flowers and feathers, and who connect to the magic of the Serenissima in their own ways. Against this inventive backdrop, a fisherman wakes from a dream that the city will elect its first doge. A local mystic confirms that she can see this coming to pass—and also sees a cure for the plague that blights the fisherman and his lover—after which the city itself pulls everyone around him into the rush to fulfill the prophecy. Told through the eyes of nine different characters, each with a perspective and backstory rich enough for its own novel, the relatively low-stakes plot still manages to feel personal and affecting. This fascinates. (June)
