This ran a bit late, but here is the thread for nominating a book for May 2022. Since the other May Monthly Read will be chosen from the BSFA shortlist, we will only nominate one book, SF or Fantasy. End date will be March 15th.

I plan to read Kundo Wakes Up by Saad Hossain when it is released March 15.

It is stand-alone, but related to The Gurkha and the Lord of Tuesday.

I noticed Ken McLeod published a new book last November called Beyond the Hallowed Sky: that's my nomination. I read a lot of McLeod's books in early 2000s, but I haven't read anything from him since then.

Bumping this thread, because the deadline for nominations is today, but we still only have two nominations for our second May Monthly Read. Any SF or Fantasy book published in 2021 or 2022 is eligible.

(The other MR is chosen from BSFA Awards shortlist, and the poll for that one is here: https://www.goodreads.com/poll/show/2...).

Let's add Neal Stephenson to the list then, namely his 2021 novel Termination Shock

I'm struggling to find 2022 fiction published early enough for people to get it, so I'll go back to 2021 and suggest The Apollo Murders.

I'll nominate Sea of Tranquility.

"The award-winning, best-selling author of Station Eleven and The Glass Hotel returns with a novel of art, time, love, and plague that takes the reader from Vancouver Island in 1912 to a dark colony on the moon three hundred years later, unfurling a story of humanity across centuries and space."

I'm voting for Termination Shock or Sea of Tranquility so I don't need to nominate
