"Phenomenal, visceral, high-octane scifi... Altered Carbon unsleeves
in a dystopian Beowulf."―Derek Künsken, Aurora-award-winning author of
The Quantum Magician
As glittering and treacherous as an icy cavern, Rich Larson's
far-future tale of revenge and revolution is a gripping thriller,
perfect for fans of Richard K. Morgan and inspired by the legendary
story of Beowulf. Yorick never wanted to see his homeworld again. He
left Ymir two decades ago, with half his face blown off and no love lost
for the place. But when his employer's mines are threatened by a vicious
alien machine, Yorick is shipped back home to hunt it.
All he wants is to do his job and get out. Instead, Yorick is pulled
into a revolution brewing beneath Ymir's frozen surface, led by the very
last person he wanted to see again--the brother who sent him off in
pieces twenty years ago..
