I love Yoon's work! Ninefox Gambit is solidly and satisfyingly full of battles and political intrigue, in a beautifully built far-future that manages to be human and alien at the same time. Mind-blistering military space opera, but with a density of ideas and strangeness that recalls the works of Hannu Rajaniemi, even Cordwainer Smith. Starship Troopers meets Apocalypse Now - and they've put Kurtz in charge.
Seth Dickinson - Seth DickinsonĪ striking space opera by a bright new talent.
Origami elegant, fox-sly, defiantly and ferociously new, this book will burn your brain. Aliette de Bodard - Aliette de Bodardįor sixteen years Yoon Ha Lee has been the shadow general of science fiction, the calculating tactician behind victory after victory. Bold, fearlessly innovative and just a bit brutal, this is a book that deserves to be on every awards list. Powell - Gareth L PowellĪ high-octane ride through an endlessly inventive world, where calendars are weapons of war and dead soldiers can assist the living. As if Cordwainer Smith had written a Warhammer novel. The beautiful cover art is by Chris Moore.įor the curious, Solaris has posted a longer preview of the first chapter.Īnd for the even more curious, Stephanie Folse ( sfolse) at DeviantArt has an illustration of Cheris and an illustration of Jedao.įinally, by request, a hexarchate faction cheat sheet.Daring, original and compulsive.

Thank you to the following people: my editor, Jonathan Oliver, and the wonderful folks at Solaris Books my agent, Jennifer Jackson and my agent’s assistant, Michael Curry. Cheris must work with the mass murderer to destroy the heresy and save the hexarchate-before he destroys her…Ī tale of math, madness, and massacres in outer space. Preserved for his brilliance and tamed by his handlers, no one knows how long his good behaviour will last. But Jedao is gripped by a madness that saw him massacre two armies in his first life-one of them his own. Feared throughout the stars and undefeated in battle, he is the perfect weapon. Cheris requests-and receives-a single devastating weapon to aid her in her task: the revived, near-immortal traitor, General Shuos Jedao. Kel Cheris, a disgraced captain of the hexarchate, is given the opportunity to redeem herself by recapturing the formidable Fortress of Scattered Needles from heretics.
