STARS ARE LEGION - Tapa dura

"In a universe where the word for spaceship is the same as for world, two women struggle to escape a perpetual war in this dystopic yet hopeful space opera. This gripping book is both hard to read and easy to appreciate."--- STARRED REVIEW, "Publishers Weekly "

"One word will do it: Badass."---- John Scalzi, "bestselling author of The Old Man's War series and The Collapsing Empire "

"So, this is chock full of action and fights and battles and betrayals and political intrigue. And those world-ships? They are all biological. Nothing in this fleet is built, it's all birthed, and there are tentacles and blood and mucous and body fluids everywhere. It's kind of awesome fun. You should totally read it."---- Ann Leckie, "Hugo award-winning author of Ancillary Justice "

"One of the most unusual and powerfully disturbing space operas we're likely to see this year."---- Gary K. Wolfe, "The Chicago Tribune "

"A mesmerizing read."---- Adrian Lang, "Omnivoracious "

"A sweeping epic about a squad of starships--one that just happens to feature a cast of all female characters."---- Charlie Jane Anders, "Wired "

"Grabs you like a gravity well and won't let go. This is a dark, haunting, recursive tale, unlike any other space opera with which you're familiar. Discovering Kameron Hurley's work is like finding a whole new galaxy, and she is the star at its center."---- Chuck Wendig, "NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author of Star Wars: Aftermath & the Miriam Black series "

"Kameron Hurley has done it: She's written a true space opera with no men in it. In a genre filled with generic portrayals of space, Hurley's take is one-of-a-kind: equal parts love story and revenge tale, mixed with adventure science fiction and body horror."---- The Washington Post

"Thought provoking space opera."---- Kirkus Reviews

"The Stars Are Legion is like a magnificent storm tearing through the genre."---- Popular Mechanics

On the outer rim of the universe, a galactic war has been waged for centuries upon hundreds of world-ships. But these worlds will continue to die through decay and constant war unless a desperate plan succeeds. Anat, leader of the Katazyrna world-ship and the most fearsome raiding force on the Outer Rim, wants peace. To do so she offers the hand of her daughter, Jayd, to her rival. Jayd has dreamed about leading her mother’s armies to victory her whole life―but she has a unique ability, and that makes her leverage, not a leader. As Anat convinces her to spend the rest of her life wed to her family’s greatest enemy, it is up to Jayd’s sister Zan―with no stomach for war―to lead the cast off warriors she has banded together to victory and rescue Jayd. But the war does not go at all as planned... In the tradition of The Fall of Hyperion and Dune, The Stars are Legion is an epic and thrilling tale about familial love, revenge, and war as imagined by one of the genre’s most imaginative new writers.
