SHORTLISTED FOR THE HUGO AWARD FOR BEST NOVEL'An instant classic' Guardian'An outstanding novel . . . one of the debuts of the year' Locus'Deserves a space on shelves alongside genre titans like Ursula K.

Le Guin and Octavia Butler'Publishers Weekly A thrillingly told space opera about the wreckage of war, the family you find, and the path you must forge when every choice is stripped from you.

Some Desperate Glory is the highly anticipated debut novel from Astounding Award and World Fantasy Award-Winner, Emily Tesh. All her life, Kyr has trained for the day she can avenge the destruction of planet Earth.

Raised on Gaea Station alongside the last scraps of humanity, she is one of the best warriors of her generation, the sword of a dead planet. Then Command assigns her brother to certain death and relegates her to the nursery to bear sons, and she knows she must take humanity's revenge into her own hands.

Alongside her brother's brilliant but seditious friend and a lonely, captive alien, Kyr must escape from everything she's ever known.

If she succeeds, she will find a universe far more complicated than she was taught and far more wondrous than she could ever have imagined'Masterful, audacious storytelling'Tamsyn Muir, New York Times-bestselling author of Gideon the Ninth'A profoundly humane and brilliantly constructed space opera that will have you cheering, swearing, laughing, and ugly-crying.
