"Sena Bryer delivers a cinematic performance of Tesh's exhilarating space opera. Bryer's full-bodied characterizations--gruff Mags, Kyr's quietly rage-filled squadmates, and a sweetly naïve but powerful alien named Yiso--are so skilled that listeners may wonder if this is a full-cast production. Complete with time slips, a reality-warping artificial intelligence, and epic world-building, this is a gripping, can't-miss listen."- AudioFile A thrillingly told queer space opera about the wreckage of war, the family you find, and who you must become when every choice is stripped from you, Some Desperate Glory is Astounding Award Winner and Crawford Award Finalist Emily Tesh's highly anticipated debut novel. "Masterful, audacious storytelling. Relentless, unsentimental, a completely wild ride."-Tamsyn Muir With three starred reviews! While we live, the enemy shall fear us. Since she was born, Kyr has trained for the day she can avenge the murder of planet Earth. Raised in the bowels of Gaea Station alongside the last scraps of humanity, she readies herself to face the Wisdom, the powerful, reality-shaping weapon that gave the majoda their victory over humanity. They are what's left. They are what must survive. Kyr is one of the best warriors of her generation, the sword of a dead planet. When Command assigns her brother to certain death and relegates her to Nursery to bear sons until she dies trying, she knows she must take humanity's revenge into her own hands. Alongside her brother's brilliant but seditious friend and a lonely, captive alien, Kyr escapes from everything she's known into a universe far more complicated than she was taught and far more wondrous than she could have imagined.

This riveting adventure deserves a space on shelves alongside genre titans like Ursula K. Le Guin and Octavia Butler."-Publishers Weekly, starred review "A monumental journey. . . . An intriguing space opera and study of radicalization, indoctrination, and what happens when one breaks free in the most absolute way."-Library Journal, starred review "Some Desperate Glory is honest, unflinchingly so. This book will hurt you and you will say thank you. It has everything you'd want in a queer space opera-wit and imagination and adventure, all within a brilliantly constructed world with an 'unlikable' and wholly irresistible lead. Reading this feels like bearing witness to something revolutionary... It will change you for the better."-Olivie Blake, New York Times bestselling author of The Atlas Six "Masterful, audacious storytelling. Relentless, unsentimental, a completely wild ride. I had a time. Talk about Mass Effect beating up Brave New World in a dark alley."-Tamsyn Muir, New York Times bestselling author of The Locked Tomb series "Kyr is a revelatory hero-never have I so fervently wished the worst for someone, only to end up cheering for them... Fierce and heartbreakingly humane, this book is for everyone who loved Ender's Game, but Ender's Game didn't love them back."-Shelley Parker-Chan, Sunday Times bestselling author of She Who Became the Sun "A profoundly humane and brilliantly constructed space opera that will have you cheering, swearing, laughing, and ugly-crying.
