Just in from Angry Robot, Hugo Award-winning Kameron Hurley’s The Stars are Legion is going to be published in the UK/Commonwealth (not Canada) through Angry Robot in January 2017. It is being published in the US/Can by Saga Press. Also worth mentioning that the third title in the Worldbreaker Saga, Broken Heavens is due to be released in May 2017.
Kameron Hurley – “Angry Robot has done a spectacular job launching my Worldbreaker Saga, so I’m pleased to have them at the helm here for the UK release of The Stars Are Legion. I love the whole team, and appreciate Marc Gascoigne’s trust in the project, as he saw a very early draft. Angry Robot understands and supports my work, and I am super excited to have another wild and weird title join the Robot Army.”
The Stars are Legion synopsis:
Somewhere on the outer rim of the universe, a mass of decaying world-ships known as the Legion is traveling in the seams between the stars. For generations, a war for control of the Legion has been waged, with no clear resolution. As worlds continue to die, a desperate plan is put into motion.
Zan wakes with no memory, prisoner of a people who say they are her family. She is told she is their salvation – the only person capable of boarding the Mokshi, a world-ship with the power to leave the Legion. But Zan’s new family is not the only one desperate to gain control of the prized ship. Zan finds that she must choose sides in a genocidal campaign that will take her from the edges of the Legion’s gravity well to the very belly of the world.
Zan will soon learn that she carries the seeds of the Legion’s destruction – and its possible salvation. But can she and her ragtag band of followers survive the horrors of the Legion and its people long enough to deliver it?
In the tradition of The Fall of Hyperion and Dune, The Stars are Legion is an epic and thrilling tale about tragic love, revenge, and war as imagined by one of the genre’s most celebrated new writers.
