Ten Low and her ragtag comrades take on an ultra-rich tycoon who owns entire planets in this high-octane clash of law and lawlessness across the stars, for fans of Gideon the Ninth, Anne Leckie and Becky Chambers.
Who controls the future, controls it all...
Ten “Doc” Low is a medic with a dark past, riding the wastes of the desert moon Factus, dispensing medicine to the needy and death to those who cross the laws of the mysterious Seekers. Cursed by otherworldly forces, she stays alone to keep herself safe, and to keep others safe from her...
But when she experiences a terrifying vision of conflict and the deaths of those she once called friends, she must drag herself back to the land of the living to stop a war before it begins. With rebellion brewing, the Accord’s grip on the Outer Moons weakening and a sinister tycoon buying up all land in sight, Ten must find allies where she can and face the past in order to save the future. The cost will be greater than she could ever have imagined...
A wild, adrenaline-packed, whip-smart crash of storytelling and shoot-outs, ideal for fans of Becky Chambers' Wayfarers and Alex White's Salvagers.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Holborn's thrilling sequel to Ten Low is another romp into a Mad Max–like world in outer space. Series heroine Low is now a reclusive medic on the moon Factus, avoiding prolonged human contact to keep everyone safe from the curse she carries. By all accounts, she should be dead, but her curse enables her to connect to the Ifs, which allow her to see infinite possibilities of the future during games of chance. When Low sees a vision of one possible future in which her former friends die, she chooses to return to her old life, reuniting with old allies in hopes of stopping a brewing war. They'll have to go up against tycoon Lutho Xoon, a ruthless businessman intent on "buying up Factus one settlement at a time." Holborn's vision of the future is as stark and gritty as ever, leavened with flickers of hope and resilient friendships. Series fans and new readers alike will eat this up.
