About this title

Review:

Praise for Kameron Hurley

God's War
"Inventive, challenging, tough as nails--just like its hard-hitting heroine. Recommended."--Joe Abercrombie

"Kameron Hurley's a brave, unflinching, truly original writer with a unique vision . . . burns right through your brain and your heart."--Jeff VanderMeer, author of Finch

"Hurley's world-building is phenomenal... (she) smoothly handles tricky themes such as race, class, religion, and gender without sacrificing action."--Publishers Weekly

"One of the most thought-provoking debuts I've read so far this year."--Locus

"If you like rough, battle-scarred women who know how to regulate, you're going to love Nyx... She makes Han Solo look like a boy scout." --io9

Infidel
"Especially enjoyable for its ethnically diverse cast and freewheeling remixes of traditional gender roles."--Tor.com

"A fast-paced book with a lot of action and smart character moments, mixed with cynical battlefield philosophy. I highly recommend it."--Strange Horizons

Rapture
"Ferociously imaginative--with an emphasis on ferocious. . . . smart, dark, visceral and wonderfully, hectically entertaining."--Lauren Beukes, author of Zoo City

"Edge-of-the-seat action set within a strange and alien world that's the mutant child of Frank Herbert and Roger Zelazny."--David J. Williams, author of The Mirrored Heavens
