Russell Letson reviews James S.A. CoreySunday 17 June 2012 | Reviews
From Locus Magazine's June 2012 issue
The sequel to Leviathan Wakes, Caliban's War, subtitled Book Two of the Expanse, offers a remix of basic ingredients (plus some new additives) that is even better than the first volume's. It's sufficiently self-contained and satisfactorily resolved to be read on its own. New in Paperback: JuneSaturday 16 June 2012 | Monitor

Excerpts from Locus Magazine's June Issue interview.
The group back then — Beaumont, Matheson, Bradbury, myself, and a few others — has become an iconic thing, but we were really just a bunch of guys trying to pay the rent! And yet it turns out that we actually changed the face of science fiction and dark fantasy. Locus Bestsellers, JuneThursday 14 June 2012 | Magazine
Bestsellers from specialty bookstores are led by David Weber's A Rising Thunder, Gail Carriger's Timeless, Suzanne Collins' The Hunger Games, Dayton Ward's Star Trek: That Which Divides, and Dan Abnett's Warhammer 40,000: The Horus Heresy: Know No Fear.

From Locus Magazine's June 2012 issue
