Locus Online's weekly new-release roundup lists Maurice Africh's Cello's Gate
The Nov. 3 list includes Maurice Africh's Cello's Gate, an SF fantasy novel from Simon & Schuster/Saga Press priced at $32.00.

Locus Online published its weekly new book releases roundup for Nov. 3, 2026, covering titles across science fiction, fantasy, and horror from multiple publishers. Among the entries was Maurice Africh's Cello's Gate, described as an SF fantasy novel and the first in the Sky Pirates of Imperia series, published by Simon & Schuster/Saga Press under ISBN 978-1668242834, priced at $32.00 for 592 pages, available in hardcover, paperback, ebook, and audiobook formats.
The roundup included a line directing readers to the outlet's bookshop.org page to purchase the week's new books, adding "And us!" alongside the Cello's Gate listing. The full list also included titles from HarperCollins/Storytide, Penguin Random House imprints Berkley, Dell, and Del Rey, Macmillan/Flatiron, Orbit US, Bloomsbury USA, Profile/Solaris UK, Astra House/DAW, and Tor, spanning fantasy, horror, and science fiction categories with publication dates of Nov. 3 and Nov. 5, 2026.
Correction, 5 November 2026: the headline originally suggested a relationship between the outlet and a title in its list. The source does not say that: it is a weekly list of new releases that includes Maurice Africh’s Cello’s Gate (Simon & Schuster/Saga Press) and a link to the outlet’s bookshop.org page. The headline, the why-it-matters line and the Coral read have been corrected.
A weekly new-releases roundup is exactly what it sounds like — a list, not a scoop — and this one covers new titles from several publishers, including Maurice Africh's Cello's Gate from Simon & Schuster/Saga Press. Nothing here needs action; it is a list to scan for books in your genre.
