The Triloiges Bundle - curated by Lavie Tidhar

Ah, trilogies! Who doesn't love them? Who doesn't love reading them? Ever since Tolkien's publishers split his epic novel into three handy volumes, the trilogy has taken enduring form as the default mode of science fiction and fantasy. Who doesn't want a thousand pages of pure story to dig into at their leisure? To be swept along on spacefaring adventures, explore the mysteries of ancient empires or go questing across strange and fantastical lands?

No one, that's who! Here, in this huge, new trilogies bundle, I got a chance to collect some of my favourite recent books of fantasy and science fiction. Between them, these writers have Hugos and Nebulas and World Fantasy Awards. They come from the US and France, Canada and Malaysia. They travel through time to an alternate Aztec empire and to far-out space. To whimsical fantasylands and ones that are grim and dark. They have action, adventure and romance, not to mention some mind-bending science fictional ideas. I think they're terrific, and I hope you'll agree - that you enjoy them, and find your own endless hours of enjoyment in their many, many pages! – Lavie Tidhar
