2016 Del Rey Sampler: Excerpts from Upcoming and Current Titles
What's on the horizon for 2016 and beyond? Find out in this annual ebook sampler of excerpts from some of Del Rey's most exciting science fiction and fantasy titles!
Inside are a slew of iconic authors and brands. Michael J. Sullivan, the author of the Riyria series, kicks off an original five-book saga. Elizabeth Moon revisits her classic military sci-fi epic Vatta's War with a new standalone novel. Science Fiction Hall of Famer Connie Willis returns with a satire of love and (mis)communication. China MiEville, one of the most consistently original voices in any genre, presents a brilliant work of alternate history. And a bold era of World of Warcraft storytelling begins with a tale of justice and vengeance.
Here, too, are emerging voices and incredible new visions. At the edge of the Russian wilderness, a young girl tries to protect her family from terrifying fairy tales come to life. In Kolkata, India, a college professor learns of a race of people at once more than human yet kin to beasts. An ordinary family in England undertakes a ten-year period of servitude to a ruling class endowed with powerful magic. A contestant on a reality TV show, cut off from all outside contact, learns that the real world may have changed in terrifying ways. A young man with inexplicable powers is recruited by a secret training program at West Point. And in South Dakota, a child falls through the earth--only to wake up in the palm of a giant metal hand.

About the author
Katherine Arden
17 books18.2k followersA note to everyone who trips and falls upon my Goodreads page. First, welcome. Let us read and discuss all the books together. I review books I've read, everything gets five stars, if I didn't like it I don't put it up.
Second, Goodreads is wondrous, but contacting me through my Goodreads DMs is a good way to ensure a long wait for a reply. Your best bet is Twitter or Instagram (arden_katherine) on both.
Happy reading.
Born in Texas, Katherine studied French and Russian at Middlebury College. She has lived abroad in France and in Moscow, among other places. She has also lived in Hawaii, where she wrote much of The Bear and the Nightingale. She currently lives in Vermont.

Hey all, just wanted to let people know that The Del Rey 2016 Sampler is now available - and the best part it's it's free!! You can get it from:
Amazon
Barnes & Noble
Google Play Store
iBooks
Kobo
It has "seek peak" chapters for eleven of the hot new releases from Del Rey ... including my Age of Myth, of course. But there is also entries from Connie Willis, China Miéville, and a bunch more. I picked up my own copy when at C2E2 and I'm really enjoying the stories I've read so far.
As I said, it's 100% free so take a look!

July 13, 2016The good parts...it was nice to read parts of books that are coming out soon, but that is the bad part. I know that the Michael J. Sullivan book is coming out in the next few months, but a few of the books I was interested in are not even coming out until in 2017. I like a good teaser as much as anyone, but to wait 8 or 9 months for the release is a bit much. I am going to shelve the ones I liked to Goodreads, and hope that I remember to purchase them when they are released. For me it would have been much better for the books featured to be releasing at least this year. I will be buying and reading the Age of Myth by Michael J. Sullivan in June of this year. Can't wait.
