Here's how (restrictions apply) Editorial Reviews Review "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) "With mind-bending betrayals, heart-wrenching loves, souls and bodies driven to frenetic motion by war and hope, THE STARS ARE LEGION is a profoundly moving tale of self-discovery and self-construction in a world as wondrously layered as its unforge able protagonist." (― Ken Liu , Hugo, Nebula, World Fantasy, and Locus Award winner and author of THE GRACE OF KINGS) "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 fi nding a whole new galaxy, and she is the star at its center." (― Chuck Wendig , NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author of the Star Wars: A ermath trilogy and the Miriam) "A visceral, optimistic mash-up of new, weird, and grimdark science fiction that is a cracking good read. Hurley has really leveled up." (― MaryJo Schimelpfenig , Powell’s Books) "The Stars Are Legion is poised to be Kameron Hurley's mainstream breakthrough, but apparently no one told her. It's unlike any space opera you’ve ever read—a bizarro blend of New Weird adventure, political thriller, and body horror; and an intimate examination of two deeply damaged women. RIte’sa da sm voisreceral and violently angry as anything she's ever written, a ragged scream from the heart of a broken world—but one not past mending, if About the Author Kameron Hurley is the author of The Mirror Empire, Empire Ascendant and the God's War Trilogy. Hurley has won the Hugo Award, Kitschy Award, and Sydney J. Bounds Award for Best Newcomer; she has also been a finalist for the Arthur C.

  • Serious Shenanigans the New Space Opera and Social
    SERIOUS SHENANIGANS THE NEW SPACE OPERA AND SOCIAL COMMENTARY: AN ANALYSIS OF IAIN M. BANKS’S SURFACE DETAIL AND THE HYDROGEN SONATA AND ANN LECKIE’S IMPERIAL RADCH TRILOGY. Marloes de Vogel 3865878 RMA Comparative Literary Studies Supervisor dr. Barnita Bagchi Second Reader dr. Monica Janssen August 2018 1 Abstract This thesis contributes to research on the genre of space opera. Space opera is generally considered the least sophisticated form of science fiction, and remains underrepresented in scholarly research. Yet, a considerable part of the greatest science fiction published over the past three decades has been space opera. Specifically, it has been New Space Opera (NSO), a renewed, innovative form of space opera that arose during the second half of the 1980s. The NSO uses space opera’s core elements of adventure and conflict to both entertain and address serious contemporary social, political, and economic issues. The aim of this thesis is to demonstrate that the NSO is an exceptionally suitable form to provide social commentary. I will show that the NSO is an innovation of the Classic Space Opera (CSO) in terms of both form and content, that the critical and satirical space operas written during the 1960s and 1970s aided this innovation, and that the perceived unsophisticated and clichéd nature of the Classic Space Opera (CSO) actually encouraged the development of the NSO. Furthermore, through a close-reading analysis of US-American author Ann Leckie’s Imperial Radch trilogy (2013-2015) and Scottish author Iain M. Banks’ Culture novels Surface Detail (2010) and The Hydrogen Sonata (2012), which are typical examples of NSO novels, I will analyze how the narrative strategies of estrangement, defamiliarization, affect, and the novum, which are integral to the speculative and imaginative nature of space opera, are employed to provide social commentary on topics such as the oppression and dehumanization of cultural others, and on issues of identity and subjectivity formation.

    FREE THE MIRROR EMPIRE PDF Kameron Hurley | 448 pages | 03 Sep 2014 | Watkins Media | 9780857665553 | English | London, United Kingdom SF : The Mirror Empire / Kameron Hurley ★★★★ SF Reviews. Wink the Astrokitty drawn by Matt Olson. The Mirror Empire rights reserved. Tweets by SFReviewsnet Kameron Hurley, one of the lucky writers to land on her feet following the implosion of Night The Mirror Empire Books inreturns with an The Mirror Empire and career- defining fourth novel in The Mirror The Mirror Empire. It is, on the one hand, very much The Mirror Empire from the currently fashionable cloth of the grimdark fantasy tapestry. It tells of a world wracked by war, political upheaval, slave rebellion, ethnic cleansing and genocide. But there the similarities end, as Hurley forcefully flips every genre trope in her sights to The Mirror Empire a work simply exploding with a kind of anarchic, creative ferocity. The world of Raisa is orbited by three satellites, from which trained magic users draw their power. As Oma is ascending once again, Raisa faces an invasion like none ever seen before. An invasion by their own, alternate-universe counterparts. But The Mirror Empire one from the invading universe can actually enter Raisa while their counterpart still lives, and a team of assassins has been sent over to deal with certain key figures, in order to smooth the way for the invasion to proceed. We follow no fewer than five viewpoint characters whose lives are swept up in the tumult. Lilia is a young girl who crossed over into Raisa as a child, from the world whose invading armies — a militarist version of the pacifist Dhai race The Mirror Empire to Raisa — are now spilling over.
