From James Bradley, author of Flags of Our Fathers and Flyboys, comes The China Mirage (Little Brown), a spellbinding history of turbulent U.S.–China relations from the 19th century to World War II and Mao's ascent.

A mind-bending and violent chase across Canada and the U.S., Daryl Gregory's Afterparty (Tor) is a marvelous mix of William Gibson's Neuromancer, Philip K. Dick's Ubik, and perhaps a bit of Peter Watts's Starfish: a last chance to save civilization, or die trying.
