Paperback. Zustand: Good. Bethany Jacobs returns with the thrilling conclusion to The Kindom Trilogy that began with the Philip K. Dick Award-winning These Burning Stars, the debut epic space opera trilogy about revenge, power, and the price of legacy.   Violence has erupted across the Treble. The colony that Jun Ironway and Masar Hawks have fought to protect is now woefully compromised, and its people, unwilling to submit to tyranny once more, face a brutal fight for their lives and freedom. In the midst of upheaval and rebellion, new enemies arise at every corner, including a familiar player who won't let power slip through his fingers again. Not when he has every Kindom Hand under his heel. And whether he will be as bloody-minded as his predecessors remains to be seen.    As the quiet ones launch their attack and all hope seems lost, Cleric Chono looks to unlikely allies to fight a final battle for peace. But one crucial question remains: where is Six?  Praise for The Kindom Trilogy:  ★ "An exciting start from a fresh talent, offering emotional and political complexity plus plenty of interplanetary action." - Kirkus (Starred Review) on These Burning Stars ★ "Plotted like a chess match, confident and surprising as Jacobs moves each piece thoughtfully across her board . If Jacobs' second entry is anything like the first, we'll have so much more to discover across her universe in the years to come." - BookPage (Starred Review) on These Burning Stars "There's no shortage of twists, betrayals, and unexpected alliances in this intricate story of revenge and survival. This sets things up nicely for a grand finale in book three." -Publishers Weekly on On Vicious Worlds&nbsp. …

Paperback. Zustand: New. **WINNER OF THE PHILIP K. DICK AWARD****SHORTLISTED FOR THE LOCUS AWARD FOR BEST FIRST NOVEL**'5 hundred thousand freaking beautiful, burning stars!! I freaking loved this so much' ?????reader review Jun Ironway, hacker, con artist, and only occasional thief, has got her hands on a piece of contraband that could set her up for life: evidence that implicates the powerful Nightfoot family in a planet-wide genocide seventy-five years ago. The Nightfoots control the precious sevite that fuels interplanetary travel through three star systems. And someone is sure to pay handsomely for anything that could break their hold.Of course, anything valuable is also dangerous. The Kindom, the ruling power of the three star systems, is inextricably tied up in the Nightfoots' monopoly - and they can't afford to let Jun expose the truth. They task two of their most brutal clerics with hunting her down: preternaturally stoic Chono, and brilliant hothead Esek, who also happens to be the heir to the Nightfoot empire.But Chono and Esek are haunted in turn by a figure from their shared past, known only as Six. What Six truly wants is anyone's guess. And the closer they get to finding Jun, the surer Chono is that Six is manipulating them all - and that they are heading for a bloody confrontation that no one will survive unscathed.'One of the best SF books I've read.
