A planet-eating plague. A hustler-turned-hero. Time is running out . . . Orry Kent just wants a quiet life - but even a little R&R on the holiday planet of Halcyon turns wild when she accidentally sparks off a revolution amongst the downtrodden native workers. But that' s small beer compared with the news footage being broadcast across the Ascendancy, showing Orry murdering the man she saved just six months earlier and destroying the Halstaad-Mirnov Institute, the heart of research into the aeons-dead alien race called The Departed. ' Dulley has made an amazing universe and I can' t wait to explore more of it' Words of a PaigeWith her brother Ethan, the irascible spacedog Captain Mender and his intelligent spaceship Dainty Jane, not to mention the Kadiran exile Quondam, she sets off to prove her innocence. It' s just a shame that means teaming up with the woman she loathes more than anyone else in any universe: the space pirate and criminal mastermind Cordelia Roag. ' Big-screen space opera at its most entertaining; Orry Kent makes for an engaging and savvy protagonist' Gavin Smith, author of The Bastard Legion For it' s not just Orry' s freedom at stake now: a long-dormant planet-eating plague has been triggered and there' s only one thing that can stop it. The race is on . . .

I can' t wait for more! - Book Girl of Mur-Y-CastellIntensely enjoyable, pretty much action-filled and always very readable - Blue Book Balloon on MorhelionAn action-packed space adventure . . . it kept me hooked - Dyslexic Reader on MorhelionSo vibrant and alive . . . "Oooh" factor: top marks! - Katharina Sinead s Book Blog on MorhelionHooks in the reader from the first . . . The style and content are very reminiscent of Heinlein and Blish . . . there is much to enjoy in the witty banter between Orry and Mender, well, Orry and pretty much everyone else - Sci-Fi Online on MorhelionA page-turner that' s at its best when serving up lurid images and fast-paced action . . . imaginative world-building . . . Orry remains an engaging protagonist . . . a lively sci-fi romp - SFX on ShattermoonA book to breeze through with relish . . . For those in need of a gallivant through the stars with a bunch of mismatched chancers, Shattermoon should be at the top of your list - SciFi Now on ShattermoonShattermoon is such a refreshing read. This is epic space opera that has a 1950s cinema serial quality to it, peopled by characters you give a damn about, worlds that feel as real as your daily commute (but obviously far more exotic and yet grounded) and a story that is so engrossing that reaching the end of it is akin to feeling like someone has unceremoniously slammed on the brakes and stopped a runaway tale that you could have happily stayed involved in forever - Sparkly Pretty Briiiight on Shattermoon
