While I am busy doing radio, here’s something for you folks to look out for. Apex Books are producing a third in Lavie Tidhar’s fine series of World SF anthologies. While there are some familiar faces in the line-up, there’s a lot of material that is new to me. Here’s some diversity, go pre-order (you’ll get the book cheaper that way).
