Produktbeschreibung

Broken Stars combines previously published short stories and novelettes with new and exciting tales, ranging from space opera to military SF to science-fantasy and everything in-between. Tales of broken heroes fighting for hope in dark worlds, full of aliens and outcasts, drug dealers and bounty hunters, mercenaries and soldiers. Tales of far-flung worlds where the lines between machine and human become blurred, the humanity of monsters is explored, and victory always comes with a heavy price. In these eighteen stories of savage worlds, violence explodes, betrayals abound, and no one is safe. A smuggler for alien drugs is thrust into a high stakes of subterfuge and interstellar drug trades, only to find herself out of her depth. Yharv, a mercenary, must escort the King through a besieged city and see him crowned. The only problem is, Yharv isn't human, and neither is the king, and nonhumans usually end up dead in a gutter. And luck has never been on Yharv's side. An alien and a human fight to liberate a planet where aliens are treated as second-class citizens. But freedom comes at a steep price. A kidnapped warrior discovers her memories may not be her own, and she may be on the wrong side of her war. And many more . . .

Autorenporträt

Jeremy Szal was born in 1995 and was raised by wild dingoes, which should explain a lot. He writes epic fantasy and dark space opera of a character-driven, morally grey nature. His main series is the Common trilogy from Gollancz/Hachette, which includes STORMBLOOD, BLINDSPACE, and WOLFSKIN, about a drug harvested from alien DNA that makes users permanently addicted to adrenaline and aggression. He's the author of over fifty short stories, translated into twelve languages, many of which appear in his short fiction collection BROKEN STARS. He has been a guest and speaker at literary conventions around the world, including in Chengdu, China for WorldCon 2023. He was the editor for the Hugo-winning StarShipSofa until 2020 and has a BA in Film Studies and Creative Writing from UNSW. He carves out a living in Sydney, Australia with his family, where he loves watching weird movies, eating Japanese food, exploring cities, learning languages, cold weather and dark humour.
