1.		Saturn's Children from Ace Hardcover Price: $15.56 Customer Review: This should have been a likable book; I certainly started it with high hopes. We've got spaceships, awesome technology, a fetching heroine who is in perpetual peril of assassination by mutant ninja dwarves, and I know Stross can write stories that keep me enthusiastically turning pages to find out... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.		Halting State (Ace Science Fiction) from Ace Price: $7.99 Customer Review: This is what real SciFi is all about (believable futures). If a writer can convince me what they are writing about can really happen, I am hooked. I am going read more of Charles Stross.	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


3.		The Merchants' War: Book Four of the Merchant Princes from Tor Fantasy Price: $7.99 Customer Review: THE MERCHANTS' WAR begins in the aftermath of Prince Egon's bloody massacre of those attending his brother Creon's betrothal, including his father and brother and a number of Clan members. During the chaos, our heroine Miriam had been able to escape from Feudal World (the Gruinmarkt) to Absolutist... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


4.		Accelerando (Singularity) from Ace Price: $7.99 Customer Review: This book reminds me of the people who throw around fancy words without any real depth to their knowledge. If you want a book packed with techno babble but no interesting plot, then this is for you. And no, this isn't packed with meaningful techno speak that is just above my head - he references... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


5.		Glasshouse from Ace Hardcover Price: $16.47 Customer Review: To paraphrase a character in one of his previous novels, Charles Stross is fifteen minutes into everyone else's future. This novel might be the best self-contained (rather than serialized) example of Stross's tremendous imagination and intellect, and his utterly mindbending muse is surely at the... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


6.		Singularity Sky from Orbit Customer Review: I picked this book up on a whim and was delighted! An author that I'd never encountered before melding two concepts I wouldn't have thought meldable: Transhumanism and Space Opera. Glorious fleets of warring starships, images nearly as old as science fiction itself, combined with cornucopia... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


7.		The Atrocity Archives from Ace Price: $7.99 Customer Review: I usually dislike the horror genre in any of its forms, and have no liking for Lovecraftian fantasy. Though _The Atrocity Archives_ could be said to belong to this genre, I found it by turns hilarious, creepy, and tense. In short, I enjoyed it immensely. There's a lot to like about this book, and if... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


8.		Iron Sunrise from Orbit Customer Review: After reading Saturn's Children recently, and thinking it was his weakest novel, I was wrong. It is certainly Iron Sunrise, so the former needs correcting. This story of Eschaton agent trying to stop a planet or lots going Kabloeey is perfectly serviceable, and I definitely don't regret the... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


9.		The Jennifer Morgue from Golden Gryphon Press Price: $17.13 Customer Review: What do you get if you cross a) Lovecraft b) James Bond c) A bunch of computer geekery The answer, in this case, is a really good book. Presuming you have some interest in any of the above. The supervillain of the piece wants to control the world, of course, but with Deep... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


10.		The Hidden Family: Book Two of Merchant Princes from Tor Fantasy Price: $7.99 Customer Review: I decided to mark this rainy Sunday by reading something short. Short and fun. So I settled on The Hidden Family, by Charles Stross. I first heard of the Merchant Princes saga through a blog on my reading list. I was honestly a bit dubious, since I only knew and loved Charles Stross from his... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


11.		The Clan Corporate: Book Three of The Merchant Princes from Tor Fantasy Price: $6.99 Customer Review: Stross continues his tradition of sloppy, ill-researched writing. The man really has a good story in hand here and if he would trouble to, for example, learn some grammar it would be a readable story as well. Whether this book will work for you depends on your literary pain threshold. If it drives... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


12.		The Family Trade (Merchant Princes) from Tor Fantasy Price: $6.99 Customer Review: I thought this books premise sound like a pretty original idea. A mob connection in fantasy sounded like a really creative idea. Unfortunately, the characters were completely unable to carry the plot. It was like walking into the magical would of Narnia with one of those large women on the air plain... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


13.		Toast from Cosmos Price: $10.17 Customer Review: A collection of early short stories. You can see some of the early ideas that get developed later in the novels. His later novels are much better.	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


14.	[no image]	The Revolution Business: Book Five of the Merchant Princes from Tor Books Price: $16.47	Click here for more information


15.		Revisions from DAW Price: $6.99 Customer Review: I have an uneasy relationship with short story anthologies. On the plus side, they give me a cross section of stories about a topic or premise in which I'm interested. And I can read one or two of stories before I conk out at night, which is good for time management. But by definition,... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


16.	[no image]	On Her Majesty's Occult Service from Science Fiction Book Club Customer Review: "On Her Majesty's Occult Service" consists of two main books, The Atrocity Archives and The Jennifer Morgue. The world that Stross has created is our world, but just one-half step over ... maybe. Or maybe not - maybe he has just provided us with the real story for the first time? Who knows?... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

19.		Toast: And Other Rusted Futures from Cosmos Books (NJ) Customer Review: "Toast" is, bar none, the best short story collection I've ever read. Nearly every story gave me a whole-body physical thrill - goose bumps, tingling scalp, and other reactions I omit for fear of Amazon's censors. (Come to think of it, Amazon's censors will severely limit this entire review -... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


20.		Lobsters (Great Science Fiction Stories) from AudioText Price: $10.99 Customer Review: One of the best SF stories I've read in the last few years. Originally read this as part of one of his novels, probably Accellerando. Bought the audio download, it was so good.	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
