As moving as it is riveting, Patricia Engel’s
Infinite Country is a one-of-a-kind telling of the timeless story of migration. The era-leaping novel combines international history the Colombian Conflict, the introduction of the DREAM Act with the personal stories of a family whose bond cannot be broken by geography. A late-night dash for freedom in the opening chapter is just the start of a border-crossing relay race that spans the Western Hemisphere. Engel’s pacing is breathless she covers three generations in under 200 pages but just as frequently gives way to heart- and time-stopping moments.
Infinite Country is poised to be one of the most stirring page-turners of the year.

Fantastical novellas and collections of short fiction can offer readers a brief respite from reality.
A Psalm for the Wild-Built (Tor.com, July), the slender first volume in Hugo Award–winner Becky Chambers’s Monk & Robot series, is dedicated to “anybody who could use a break.” Set in a future in which, freed from work obligations, intelligent robots disappeared from cities into the wilderness, the story follows Sibling Dex, a tea monk (job description: “
listen to people, give tea”), who stumbles upon Mosscap, a robot, traversing wild terrain. As much a philosophical journey as a speculative one, the book fits squarely into the burgeoning hopepunk subgenre.
