Victor Manibo recommends
The Iron Garden Sutra (2026)
(Cosmic Wheel, book 1)
A D Sui
"Meditative and philosophical, with a compelling mystery at its dark heart, The Iron Garden Sutra deftly delivers on multiple fronts: immersive cultural worldbuilding, creeping dread seen only in the best sci-fi horror, and an interrogation of the nature of intelligence, life, and humanity's place in the universe, all building to a smart, satisfying finish."
A Philosophy of Thieves (2025)
(Canarvier Files, book 1)
Fran Wilde
"A Philosophy of Thieves is a propulsive romp, full of twists and reveals that left me breathless. Wilde's intricate near-future world holds a mirror up to our own, skewering excess and access while delivering thrills and an unexpectedly tender family story. The Canarviers will dazzle and delight you, right before they steal your heart."
Salvagia (2025)
Tim Chawaga
"A sharp and inventive debut, Salvagia is a full-throttle trip that doesn't let up until the last page. With deft worldbuilding and compellingly noirish characters, Chawaga's future Florida crackles with intrigue and danger at every turn."
