Dragons & Jetpacks discussion

Nomination Time!

– Books must be published by the first, be available internationally, and available in print form. Keep in mind that brand-new books may be difficult for our members to obtain right away.
– After about 10 days, 8 books from each genre will be chosen at random from the selection, using a random generator online (if necessary).
– Each person may nominate a fantasy book AND a sci-fi book, if desired. That’s two nominations per person, one in each category. Please include whether your nomination is fantasy or sci fi.
– If books are part of a series, they must be the first, unless the group has already read the previous book(s). You can see our previous group reads here or click “Bookshelf” from the menu on the right.
– No authors nominating their own works.
– No self-published or ebook-only books — we want our BotM to be accessible to as many members as possible!
– Moderators may use their discretion when accepting nominations. Keep the thread focused. Discussion about changes in rules can go to General Chat.

It seemed to take place in the further future than Sanderson has explored so far. I think the main character came from the Stormlight world and had been one of Kal's men but not a memorable one as I could not recall who! I only picked up on that from little context clues. So no, no spoilers that I noticed other than the niggling feeling like I was supposed to know who this guy was but didn't.

A Magic Deep and Drowning for fantasy

Calamity for sci-fi

I was told to read the short story Shadows for Silence (something something) in preparation.

Someone You Can Build a Nest In (fantasy)
Hidden Empire (scifi)
