This is not yet Officially Announced (the artist is hard at work on the cover!) but looks like it's already up for ebook/hardcover preorder in the US, so—this is a secret not-announcement that you totally did not hear from me! Out next July, my third novel. I was never here
36) Hero Come Home by Vajra Chandrasekera (Jul)
New Vajra Chandrasekera!!! Reliably thought provoking & stylish in his prose, very little chance of being disappointed with this. Another story of fractured/fractal realities, which seems a bit of a theme in these 2027 releases.
