![]() This riveting adventure deserves a space on shelves alongside genre titans like Ursula K. A thrillingly told queer space opera about the wreckage of war, the family you find, and who you must become when every choice is stripped from you, Some Desperate Glory is Astounding Award Winner Emily Tesh’s explosive debut novel. The political theme of breaking away from fascist ideology pairs beautifully with smart sci-fi worldbuilding-which encompasses shadow engine technology and time slips-and queer coming of age. Tesh’s sweeping epic wrestles with the nature of hatred, vengeance, and radicalization. Kyr takes justice for humanity into her own hands to save Magnus-but once she’s away from Gaea Station, the principles she’s been fed her whole life are called into question. Meanwhile, Kyr’s brother, Magnus, is assigned off-station to certain death. When Kyr comes of age, however, she’s disappointed to be assigned to Nursery rather than combat, her body designated to breed future supersoldiers. ![]() ![]() Raised on Gaea Station with the last of humanity, Valkyr has been indoctrinated from childhood into intense hatred of the majoda-the alien race that destroyed Earth-and thirsts for vengeance. ![]() World Fantasy Award winner Tesh (the Greenhollow duology of novellas) jumps from quiet fantasy to ambitious sci-fi in her raw and action-packed full-length debut.
