The Dark and Hollow Places (Forest of Hands and Teeth, Book 3) (Young Adult Fantasy)	60⁽¹⁾
Published by Delacorte Books for Young Readers on March 22, 2011

The Science Fact & Science Fiction Concatenation	Review Rating: 60
...The Dark and Hollow Places is a perfectly satisfactory novel in its own terms. Full Review Link

How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe (Science Fiction)	73⁽⁹⁾
Published by Pantheon on September 07, 2010

The Science Fact & Science Fiction Concatenation	Review Rating: 100
...Charles Yu has crafted an absolutely delightful SF novel that simply oozes charm in both being human and delightfully geeky in his treatment of time travel and the telling of a story. Full Review Link

Blackout (Science Fiction)	71⁽¹³⁾
Published by Spectra on February 02, 2010

The Science Fact & Science Fiction Concatenation	Review Rating: 40
Aside from occasional illogicality and lack of progression, ignoring what looks very much like bloat (padding), passing over historical inaccuracies (even if there is also much historical accuracy and detail which itself in part contributes to the bloat), what we end up with Blackout is a Boys Own (former British children's comic) adventure.

Sky City (Science Fiction)	60⁽²⁾
Published by Science Fiction Cirklen on January 01, 2010

The Science Fact & Science Fiction Concatenation	Review Rating: 60
To be honest, none of the stories would likely to be professionally published in the west as they are presented here. Nearly all of the writing could be tightened... Full Review Link

The Zombie Autopsies: Secret Notebooks from the Apocalypse (Horror)	66⁽³⁾
Published by Grand Central Publishing on March 21, 2012 First Published by Grand Central Publishing in 2011

The Science Fact & Science Fiction Concatenation	Review Rating: 60
The Zombie Autopsies is bound to be enjoyed by both those who are hard SF aficionados as well as zombie lovers... Full Review Link

Wonder (WWW, Book 3) (Science Fiction)	76⁽⁵⁾
Published by Ace Hardcover on April 05, 2011

The Science Fact & Science Fiction Concatenation	Review Rating: 60
...Wonder is both a sound beach read for SF aficionados as well as a book that will likely provide more substantive fare for younger readers. Full Review Link

The Recollection (Science Fiction)	53⁽³⁾
Published by Solaris on August 30, 2011

The Science Fact & Science Fiction Concatenation	Review Rating: 60
It has to be said that for a near-debut, this is an assured space-opera: think Alastair Reynolds light. Full Review Link

The Map of Time (Science Fiction)	74⁽⁵⁾
Published by HarperCollins on June 09, 2011

The Science Fact & Science Fiction Concatenation	Review Rating: 80
This is a beautifully crafted story that does adequately convey London of the time reasonably well: especially so considering Palma is not to my knowledge a Londoner. Full Review Link

A Separate War and Other Stories (Science Fiction)	60⁽¹⁾
Published by Ace on July 31, 2007 First Published by Ace Hardcover in 2006

The Science Fact & Science Fiction Concatenation	Review Rating: 60
There is some good stuff in there, some average, and for my taste a couple I could easily have passed over. Full Review Link

Final Days (Science Fiction)	75⁽⁴⁾
Published by on

The Science Fact & Science Fiction Concatenation	Review Rating: 80
...this is a fine, hard SF read and Gibson is continuing to shape up nicely as a writer. Full Review Link
