APOCALYPSE NYX

Kameron Hurley

A collection of five short stories that explores the beginning of Nyx's bounty-hunter gang, who readers first encountered in Kameron's God's War trilogy. Fans of the original trilogy will enjoy Nyx's continued adventures while new readers will find an excellent entry point into the series.

Ex-government assassin turned bounty-hunter, Nyx, is good at solving other people's problems. Her favorite problem-solving solution is punching people in the face. Then maybe chopping off some heads. Hey?it's a living.

Nyx's disreputable reputation has been well earned. After all, she's trying to navigate an apocalyptic world full of giant bugs, contaminated deserts, scheming magicians, and a centuries-long war that's consuming her future. Managing her ragtag squad of misfits has required a lot of morally-gray choices. Every new job is another day alive. Every new mission is another step toward changing a hellish future?but only if she can survive.

Kameron Hurley is the author of The Stars are Legion and the award-winning essay collection The Geek Feminist Revolution, as well as the God's War Trilogy and the Worldbreaker Saga. Hurley has won the Hugo Award, Kitschy Award, BSFA Award, and Sydney J. Bounds Award for Best Newcomer. She was also a finalist for the Arthur C. Clarke Award, the Nebula Award, and the Gemmell Morningstar Award. Her short fiction has appeared in Popular Science Magazine, Lightspeed Magazine, and many anthologies. Hurley has also written for The Atlantic, Entertainment Weekly, the Village Voice, Bitch Magazine, and Locus.

Series fans will savor original episodes featuring the battle-worn Nyx, which also serve as an introduction to new readers.

The plots are taut, thrilling, gritty, violent, profane, magical?everything Hurley's readers expect . . . Hurley has created one of the most engrossing environments in modern sf.

An excellent introduction for those wondering whether to pick up the original trilogy or a great way for those who have already read the previous books chronicling Nyx's adventures to spend a bit more time in Nyx's violent world
