| Summary |
Firefly meets Dune in a breakneck race to escape across an alien moon thriving with aliens and criminals. Ten Low is an ex-army medic, one of many convicts eking out a living at the universe's edge. She's desperate to escape her memories of the interstellar war, and the crimes she committed, but trouble seems to follow wherever she goes. One night, attempting to atone for her sins, she pulls a teenage girl-the sole survivor-from the wreck of a spaceship. But Gabriella Ortiz is no ordinary girl. The result of a military genetics program, she is a decorated Army General, from the opposing side of the war to Ten. Worse, Ten realizes the crash was an assassination attempt, and that someone wants the Ortiz dead … The pair bury their hatreds and strike an uneasy deal to smuggle the General off-world. Their road won't be easy: they must cross the moon's lawless wastes, facing military hit-squads, bandits, and the one-eyed leader of an all-female road-gang, in a frantic race to get the General to safety. But something else waits in the darkness at the universe's edge. Something that threatens to reveal Ten's worst nightmare: the truth of who she really is and what she is running from. "I loved Ten Low. Splendidly inclusive and innovative sci-fi." "A crisply written space western brimming with hard living, villainy, and the search for redemption…With plenty of action and vivid worldbuilding, this tense adventure will have readers hooked." "A good story, with lots of action." "The most vibrant desert world since Dune." "Stark Holborn continues to impress. Great characters and a blistering pace." "Fantastic, punchy SF action." "Action-packed SF adventure…OH, HELL YES!" |
