Review copies received

Vladimir is unimpressed.

I think Orbit US might have a hiccup in their records, because that’s the second copy of ANCILLARY SWORD and of WAR DOGS that has come through my door.

Out of Orbit US: ANCILLARY SWORD, by Ann Leckie; WAR DOGS, by Greg Bear; and THE FREE, by Brian Ruckley.

Out of Tor Books: FORTUNE’S BLIGHT, by Evie Manieri.
