Books I am Looking forward to...

2011 is a very good year. Because some of the most awaited books are releasing in the fourth quarter. Let's go through them one by one.

1) Scarecrow and Army of Thieves - Matthew Reilly  This is the fourth book in the Scarecrow, not counting Hell Island which was a novella. Expecting lot of action, mayhem and violence in this one. Reilly never disappoints with his books. Really looking forward to this one. Release date for hardcover - October 20! Fans of thriller, adventure, action should pick this one up.

2) The Cold Commands by Richard K. Morgan - I'm a big fan of sci-fi books by Morgan. Takeshi Kovacs series is my absolute favourite. The first book in the Land Fit for Heroes series "The Steel Remains" left lot of questions unanswered, which I am hoping this book will answer. Ringil is a great character. Complex, brave, troubled, funny, gay, and lot of other things. But he is not a boring lead. The book might be a complex read if you've not read Steel Remains before reading this one. That book is good for getting a feel of the world Morgan has built for his characters. Release date according to Amazon - 11 October! fans of dark fantasy, violent action, complex politics should give this one a go.

3) The Republic of Thieves - Scott Lynch - This books seems to be a classic case of being stuck in development hell. And I really want to read this one as soon as it comes out. But as earlier the release date was somewhere in November 2011, but now, the dates have been pushed back to 2012 at Amazon's website, so not really sure when this is releasing, but it will be released sometime in future. Scott Lynch has had some major problems in his life with depression and other stuff, but the dude is a talented writer. Hope he makes the best of his skills and gets out of the bad phase and writes kickass books for a long time. Will be waiting for this one!

That's pretty much it for today.

What books are you waiting for? Lemme know in comments!
