CAEZIK SF details four new titles. Novels by Ben Bova, Edward M Lerner, Mercedes Lackey & Cody Martin, and an anthology with Jane Yolen, Premee Mohamed and more

ROCKVILLE, MARYLAND, USA, May 11, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- CAEZIK SF & Fantasy is an imprint of Arc Manor, a small press based in Rockville, Maryland, which recently published legendary author Robert A. Heinlein’s last discovered book, THE PURSUIT OF THE PANKERA in 2020 (a trade paperback edition of the book has just been released). CAEZIK SF & Fantasy is committed to publishing iconic authors in science fiction and fantasy.

Their upcoming publications include the last novel written by six-time Hugo winner Ben Bova, who tragically passed away in November 2020 due to complications related to COVID-19.

“The far thinking ideas and the characters’ determination to grab the last hope are characteristic [of Bova]. Fans won’t want to miss this coda to Bova’s prolific literary life,” wrote PUBLISHERS WEEKLY.

The plot of Bova’s POWER CHALLENGES is quite timely given the renewed interest in space exploration and discussions about future bases on the Moon and Mars, since Bova’s book deals with the challenges of establishing a moon base. Typical of Bova, the story examines possible political challenges to such ventures and explores how one can overcome such challenges with a determined attitude.

Like Ben Bova, Edward M. Lerner belongs to a traditional group of hard science fiction writers that is getting increasingly difficult to find in the current market. Readers who enjoy solid science fiction based on extrapolating currently-accepted scientific principles will love this his book, DÉJÀ DOOMED. As ASIMOV’S SCIENCE FICTION magazine writes about Lerner, “Here’s an author you definitely need to check out.”

Both Ben Bova’s POWER CHALLENGES and Edward M. Lerner’s DÉJÀ DOOMED deal with the challenges of establishing a base on the moon and the related political intrigues. However, while Bova concentrates on domestic political challenges, Lerner examines rivalries from various nations that are all trying to establish dominance on the lunar surface, which becomes extremely tense when an alien artifact is discovered. PUBLISHERS WEEKLY called DÉJÀ DOOMED a “lunar treasure.”

REBOOTS: THE UNDEAD CAN DANCE is the third new book that CAEZIK SF & Fantasy recently announced, and it is on the opposite side of the spectrum from hard SF. NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author Mercedes Lackey partners with Cody Martin to create a fascinating universe where creatures like zombies and werewolves live alongside humans. This book will answer questions you never knew to ask: Do zombies need oxygen to survive in space? Do vacuums kill the undead? Are zombies and werewolves perfectly designed to become galactic travelers?

The last title announced by CAEZIK SF & Fantasy is an anthology edited by Cat Rambo and Jennifer Brozek titled THE REINVENTED HEART. Science fiction often focuses on future technology and science without considering the ways social structures may or may not change as tech changes. THE REINVENTED HEART presents stories that complicate sex and gender by showing how shifting technology may affect social attitudes and practices. The book includes stories that explore relationships within communities and social groups, stories that reinvent traditional romance tropes and recast them for the 21st century, and above all, stories that experiment, astonish, and entertain.

This fascinating anthology of female writers includes extraordinary talents like Jane Yolen, Seanan McGuire, Lisa Morton, Premee Mohamed, and many more.

Release date for the books are as follows:

DÉJÀ DOOMED, May 25, 2021
POWER CHALLENGES, June 15, 2021
REBOOTS: THE UNDEAD CAN DANCE, November 16, 2021
THE REINVENTED HEART, February 8, 2022
