Didn't know about State of Grace, but I want it (will wait for the full novel, though, and not read a sample chapter.)
Yeah, I'm waiting for The Evolutionary Void.
Also anticipating
I Shall Wear Midnight(Terry Pratchett, Discworld/Tiffany Aching),
Zero History (William Gibson),
All Clear (Connie Willis),
Surface Detail (Iain Banks, Culture), and
The Dervish House (Ian McDonald, out, but I don't have it yet) to name a few.
