(Undertow Publications, November 8) Chances are you keep hearing about author and game writer Cassandra Khaw’s work, with recent novels in the sci-fi (The All-Consuming World) and horror (Nothing But Blackened Teeth) realms, and a dark fantasy out next year (The Salt Grows Heavy).

The highly evolved AI of the galaxy have their own agenda and will do whatever it takes to keep humanity from ever regaining control. but they're not the only ones in pursuit of the secret at the heart of the planet Dimmuborgir. From one of the most exciting new voices in dark epic fantasy comes an intensely brutal and brilliantly cinematic novel: the story of a soldier torn between loyalty to her family and her quest to preserve a kingdom’s future. Team of broken, diminished outlaws must get back together to solve the mystery of their last, disastrous mission and to rescue a missing and much-changed comrade.

Maya has died and been resurrected into countless cyborg bodies through the years of a long, dangerous career with the infamous Dirty Dozen, the most storied crew of criminals in the galaxy, at least before their untimely and gruesome demise. The All-Consuming World by Cassandra Khaw was everything I was looking for, a lot more than I expected, and reminded me of a lot of older science fiction that existed to make you think rather than giving you a beach read just for entertainment’s sake.
