On my latest trip, to and from World Fantasy Convention, I managed to read several good books, including The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms by N. K. Jemison, Blackout by Connie Willis, and The Brahms Deception by Louise Marley, all books very different from each other.  I also read an advance galley of Michael Flynn’s new book, In the Lion’s Mouth, which is supposed to be released sometime in the next few months, and has what I can only call a very “Irish” flavor in what I’d call a subdued but enjoyable space opera.
