"Mixing everything that's best about dragons, dystopia, and
generational conflict, Tang delivers a high flying debut that pulls no
punches." --E.K. Johnston, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author
Things just got weird for Prudence Wu.
One minute, she's cashing in on a routine smuggling deal. The next,
she's escaping enforcers on the wings of what very much appears to be a
sentient cybernetic dragon.
Pru is used to life throwing her some unpleasant surprises--she goes to
prep school, after all, and selling banned media across the border in a
country with a ruthless corporate government obviously has its risks.
But a cybernetic dragon? That's new.
She tries to forget about the fact that the only reason she's not in
jail is because some sort of robot saved her, and that she's going to
have to get a new side job now that enforcers are on to her. So she's
not exactly thrilled when Rebelwing shows up again.
Even worse, it's become increasingly clear that the rogue machine has
imprinted on her permanently, which means she'd better figure out this
whole piloting-a-dragon thing--fast. Because Rebelwing just happens to
be the ridiculously expensive weapon her government needs in a brewing
war with its neighbor, and Pru's the only one who can fly it.
Set in a wonderfully inventive near-future Washington, D.C., this
hilarious, defiant debut sparkles with wit and wisdom, deftly exploring
media consumption, personal freedoms, and the weight of one life as Pru,
rather reluctantly, takes to the skies.
