Summer reading recs for all, just a few particular standouts (big books that I think anyone and everyone would like):
Chuck Wendig, The Wanderers (Michael Crichton/Stephen King style near-future epic with fungal pandemic and scary AI)
Adrian McKinty, The Chain (moved from brilliantly well-written police procedurals set in the Belfast of the Troubles to mega-blockbuster thriller mode, very well done)
Fonda Lee, Jade War (sequel to Jade City - two of my favorite books of the last few years)
Chandler Baker, Whisper Network (character-driven with topical not-quite-crime plot)
Two newish crime writers you might not have heard of but should be reading if you like police procedurals: Ron Corbett, Dervla McTiernan.
Brilliant near-future SF set in Africa with aliens (but even if you don't think you like this genre, you should read these!): Tade Thompson's Rosewater books.
For fans of The Magicians: Sergey and Marina Dyachenko, Vita Nostra.
Unusual romance (autistic protagonists): Helen Hoang.
