4- Shadow Ops: Fortress Frontier by Myke Cole (Canada, USA, Europe)

Of course, the year is far from over. And with titles from authors such as Hobb, Corey, Lynch, Gaiman, Kent, and more to be read before the year is out, things might change come New Year's Eve. . . =)
But as things stand, these are my choices!

Excellent TOP FIVE list. I applaud the choices, especially River of Stars, The Flames of Shadam Khoreh, and Necessary Evil.

Hard to argue with number 1. Kay is masterful.
Shame about the cover art on A Necessary Evil. Fantastic, satisfying finale to the Milkweed trilogy though!
I read 1 & 2. While Tregillis is good well crafted science fiction and I'm glad I read the series, by the third book I was just reading to finish. I absolutely loved RIVER OF STARS by Kay and UNDER HEAVEN is one of my favorite fantasy novels of all-time. I haven't read the Beaulieu yet. I am definitely looking forward to it. I won't be reading the Cole book. Am I the only person who didn't like the first one in the series? Oh well, I wanted to. Not my particular glass of stout I suppose. I loved Somers Cate series but this new novel doesn't seem like my, once again, glass of stout.
Today I am reading the Gaiman, I can't wait.
Thank you Pat for this list and all your previous ones. Without you there are so many series and authors that I would have never discovered or re-discovered. Thanks for the great reads. Keep up the much appreciated work!
