Well, we now seem to be on the Lieber (lover) topic, so I will put my 2 cents
in:

I find Lieber to be an extremely fine writer at his best, but to produce a
significant ammount of stuff so poor it looks like it was written by someone
else. My recommendations include:

riders of the purple wage
a specter is haunting texas
gather darkness

================================

Looking at that preview of upcoming titles I have to note that an awful
lot of the authors seem to dragging out old stories in new hardcover editions.
Look at Pohl, a good writer but stuck among the Hechee's forever.
