In the Duke’s Sights: Books of Note for 8/7/15

/

In the Duke’s Sights returns with a belated book-heavy monster post (no, they won’t normally be this big, but I’ve been lazy, so…).  From space opera to urban fantasy to epic fantasy to steampunk and beyond! Here’s a chunk of the stuff I’ve received in the last couple weeks that I may just have to read…now.  Needless to say, my TBR pile just got exponentially taller… Included below are the descriptions of books from Tor Books, Subterranean Press, Harper Voyager, William Morrow, and Fairwood Press.  Anything look interesting to you?  Let me know in the comments!
