I Can’t Wait For…Deep Black by Miles Cameron

Can’t-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted over at Wishful Endings to spotlight and discuss the books we’re excited about but haven’t yet read. Most of the time they’re books that have yet to be released, but not always. It’s based on the Waiting on Wednesday meme, which was originally hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine. 

This week my Can’t-Wait-For Book is Deep Black by Miles Cameron!

Nbaro and her friends are close to locating their enemy, in this gripping sequel to the award-nominated Artifact Space, but they are running out of time - and their allies are running out of patience . . .

I am SO FERAL for this book and it’s not even here yet!!! The first book in this series, Artifact Space, is one I’ve reread five or six times since it came out in 2021 – and it made my Best of 2021 list, which will surprise no one who has read it (it being the book, not the list!) It was Miles Cameron’s first sci fi, but you couldn’t tell; it was phenomenal, and still one of my faves!

FINALLY THE SEQUEL IS COMING! I actually thought initially that Artifact Space might be a standalone (I am very bad at being able to tell the difference between a ‘we’re done’ ending and a ‘we’re done FOR NOW’ ending) and I’m so glad it isn’t! I need to know what happens next, if Nbara’s ship makes it back to the City and what is going to happen with all the aliens and also all the various plotlines Cameron introduced in his short story collection earlier this year!!!

But mostly I’m just SO READY for a new dose of Cameron’s inexplicably addictive prose – I have tried and failed many times to explain what it is about it that I find soothing but also fun, writing that turns the most technical, munitae-obsessed scenes into something I can’t get enough of. Gollancz – or maybe just whichever team works on Cameron’s books over there – always publishes Cameron’s books full of typos, and I DON’T CARE. Me, the person who twitches when there’s a misplaced comma! I DON’T CARE. It’s so good I can handle the typos.

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW FEW AUTHORS I SAY THAT ABOUT???

THAT’S HOW GOOD THE WRITING IS.

Deep Black‘s out next week, so you still have time to get aboard this ship before book two arrives!
