Seven Devils

Zusatztext Praise for Seven Devils “ A thrilling ride from two of the most exciting authors in the genre.” —Gareth L. Powell, BSFA award-winning author of Embers of War " More gripping than The Expanse ." —Charles Stross, award-winning author of The Laundry Files “I was promised Mad Max: Fury Road in space—I got that and so much more. Seven Devils is an explosive new addition to the space opera genre. May and Lam had me from the first severed finger! This is a book you are not going to want to miss and the start of a series that promises to be a wild ride.” —K. B. Wagers, author of the Farian War trilogy “This first collaboration from Lam ( Goldilocks ) and May ( The Falconer ) revels in the frenetic energy of its girl power–infused, space operatic premise.” — Publishers Weekly "The first book in a duology is a witty, fast-paced, feminist space opera ." — Booklist "Lam and May have looked ahead to a future where women serve equally , are just as strong and capable in combat as men without falling into the typical tropes of heartless assassin or distressed damsel awakening to her power. Each of the characters in  Seven Devils  is distinct with her own character, personality, backstory, and soul." —The Roarbots Informationen zum Autor Laura Lam and Elizabeth May Klappentext This first book in a feminist space opera duology follows seven resistance fighters who will free the galaxy from the ruthless Tholosian Empire--or die trying. When Eris faked her death, she thought she had left her old life as the heir to the galaxy's most ruthless empire behind. But her recruitment by the Novantaen Resistance, an organization opposed to the empire's voracious expansion, throws her right back into the fray. Eris has been assigned a new mission: to infiltrate a spaceship ferrying deadly cargo and return the intelligence gathered to the Resistance. But her partner for the mission, mechanic and hotshot pilot Cloelia, bears an old grudge against Eris, making an already difficult infiltration even more complicated. When they find the ship, they discover more than they bargained for: three fugitives with firsthand knowledge of the corrupt empire's inner workings. Together, these women possess the knowledge and capabilities to bring the empire to its knees. But the clock is ticking: the new heir to the empire plans to disrupt a peace summit with the only remaining alien empire, ensuring the empire's continued expansion. If they can find a way to stop him, they will save the galaxy. If they can't, millions may die. Leseprobe Eris got the call from her commander while she was killing a man. The guard slumped against her, dead in under thirty seconds from a blade to the throat, a stab in the carotid artery. Fast and quiet. The sharp, tangy scent of his blood wafted toward her as she hauled the guard’s still-warm body against hers and slowly lowered him to the spacecraft’s floor. Could she have prevented this death? If she were honest with herself: yes. But there was no time for guilt. She was doing her job. Her Pathos, the communication chip embedded within her cerebrum, echoed through her skull with the most irritating musical tune. Commander Sher had chosen it because he knew Eris couldn’t ignore it. Riiing riiiing this is important, > the tune sang. isten to meee and remember don’t murder people!> I’m busy, > she sent back through her Pathos. Most Pathos only had a range of a planet, half a solar system at most. Sher was outfitted with a beta design that could bounce its signal off satellites as far as it pleased as long as he knew her rough coordinates. It irritated the shit out of her.
