God's War
Nebula Award nominee 2011, Locus Award nominee 2012, Arthur C. Clarke Award nominee 2014.
Nyx had already been to hell. One prayer more or less wouldn't make any difference...
On a ravaged, contaminated world, a centuries-old holy war rages. Fought by a bloody mix of mercenaries, magicians, and conscripted soldiers,
the origins of the war are shady and complex, but there's one thing
everybody agrees on...
There's not a chance in hell of ending it.
Nyx is a former government assassin who makes a living cutting off heads for cash. But when a dubious deal between her government and an alien
gene pirate goes bad. Nyx's ugly past makes her the top pick for a
covert recovery. The head they want her to bring home could end the war – but at what price?
The world is about to find out.
"Kameron Hurley's a brave, unflinching, truly original writer with a
unique vision – her fiction burns right through your brain and hour
heart." – Jeff VanderMeer, author of Finch
