<p>March brings us Indonesian sci-fi about intergalactic love, Portuguese fantasy about a family&#8217;s terrible secrets, Italian sci-fi about what it means to be human, a story from the &#8220;Lost Files&#8221; of Sherlock Holmes, and much more. We also discuss the books we&#8217;re looking forward to later in 2019 and what we&#8217;d like to see in English in the future.</p> <p>Remember: with new stories and books coming to their attention each week, make sure to check the SFT website for updates.
