Science Fiction

For years people have cried out, "Save us!"

From what?

"From Orson Scott Card! From Hitchhiker's Guide! They've been the bestsellers for decades!"

But you like those books. That's why you keep buying them, isn't it?

"It's been thirty years! Help! Save us from the Star Wars tie-ins! Give us something new! Please please please save science fiction! Saveus from ourselves!

And I said...

Okay.



That's right, Edge of Tomorrow is the number one science fiction title in the US according to Bookscan.

Any bets on when was the last time either a work in translation, or a work by a person of color got the top spot? (Hint: the movie tie-in edition of Solaris doesn't seem to have had an inexpensive mass market edition.)

So now if you'd just buy the All You Need Is Kill graphic novel, that would be sweet.
