BOOK DESCRIPTION: Bethany Jacobs returns with On Vicious Worlds, the electrifying sequel to These Burning Stars, the Philip K. Dick Award–winning space opera novel about revenge, power, and the price of legacy.
The Jeveni have found a fragile sense of peace on the ice planet of Capamame, far from the Kindom’s domineering control. There, Jun Ironway and Masar Hawks are tasked with the impossible: protecting their colony from a faceless saboteur who is hell-bent on spreading mayhem and murder through the colony.
Meanwhile, stoic Cleric Chono and Six, the wild manipulator responsible for outwitting the Nightfoot family, struggle to stay one step ahead of their enemies. A collision is on the horizon. One that could ignite the spark of revolution.
And over it all hangs the cruel legacy of Esek Nightfoot. A legacy that may prove impossible to escape. . . .
Praise for These Burning Stars:
“An exciting start from a fresh talent, offering emotional and political complexity plus plenty of interplanetary action.” – Kirkus (Starred Review)
“Readers who love smart thrillers and explosive sf won’t want to miss this book.” – Booklist (Starred Review)
“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)
