Historical Fiction
The Outlander series gets a fresh entry as Claire Randall and Jamie Frasier find themselves reunited at last with their daughter Brianna in the hills of 1779 North Carolina.

You'd think that somewhere in time and space, they'd be able to catch a break once in awhile.

No Cytonic and no Leviathan Falls? Seriously?
I can't wait for "Leviathan Falls", the ninth book in the series "The Expanse"!
Why aren't Benedict Jacka's "Risen," and RJ Barker's "The Bone Ship's Wake" included on this list? Those are the books I'm really looking forward to this year.
