Eater of Worlds, Jamie Wahls. I enjoy a good nonhuman POV.

Death of an Air Salesman, Rich Larson. Damn, Larson can build a world and tell a story.

Treasure Diving, Kai Hudson. I have a fondness for underwater stories; here, an aquatic person has gone deeper than usual.

The Thing With the Helmets, Emily C. Skaftun. Roller derby, aliens, and dark magic. This is gonzo and yet it all hangs together.

In Search of Your Memories, Nian Yu, trans. Andy Dudak. A personality upload who feels something is missing.

The Painter of Trees, Suzanne Palmer. Colonists and colonized.

The Peppers of GreenScallion, Myung-Hoon Bae, trans. Jihyun Park & Gord Sellar. An outpost planet, a war, and supply problems.

Field Mice, Andy Dudak. Egan-esque.
