Some Desperate Glory is a captivating debut novel by Astounding Award and World Fantasy Award-Winner, Emily Tesh. Set in a future where planet Earth has been destroyed, Kyr has spent her entire life training to seek revenge against those responsible. Raised on Gaea Station, she is a skilled warrior, the sword of a dead planet. However, her world is turned upside down when Command assigns her brother to a perilous mission and relegates her to the nursery to bear sons. Determined to reclaim humanity's revenge, Kyr embarks on a daring escape alongside her brother's brilliant but seditious friend and a lonely, captive alien.
As she navigates through a universe that is far more complex than she ever imagined, Kyr discovers the true nature of her existence and the sacrifices she must make to achieve her goals. Some Desperate Glory is a profoundly humane and brilliantly constructed space opera that will have readers cheering, swearing, laughing, and ugly-crying. It is a story that will stay with them long after they have turned the last page.
The novel has received rave reviews from critics and readers alike. Alix E. Harrow, New York Times-bestselling author of The Once and Future Witches, praised it as "astoundingly good," describing it as an "explosive and extraordinary story that I couldn't stop reading and will never forget." Everina Maxwell, author of Winter's Orbit, also gave the book five stars, stating that it is "worth every page, every tear, every late night staying up to finish it. I hope you love this book as much as I did."
With its captivating storyline, well-developed characters, and thought-provoking themes, Some Desperate Glory is a must-read for fans of science fiction and speculative fiction. It is a debut novel that demonstrates the talent and promise of its author, and it is sure to leave a lasting impression on anyone who encounters it.
