A Sci-Fi Thrill Ride Set in the Action-Packed Sports Arena of the Future

A rising star in the weightless combat sport of zeroboxing, Carr “the Raptor” Luka dreams of winning the championship title. Recognizing his talent, the Zero Gravity Fighting Association assigns Risha, an ambitious and beautiful Martian colonist, to be his brandhelm - a personal marketing strategist. It isn’t long before she’s made Carr into a popular celebrity and stolen his heart along the way.

As his fame grows, Carr becomes an inspirational hero on Earth, a once-great planet that’s fallen into the shadow of its more prosperous colonies. But when Carr discovers a far-reaching criminal scheme, he becomes the keeper of a devastating secret. Not only will his choices place everything he cares about in jeopardy, but they may also spill the violence from the sports arena into the solar system.

Fonda Lee

In modern fantasy, few voices have reshaped the genre’s landscape quite like Fonda Lee. Her worlds pulse with grit and elegance, pulling readers into stories where family loyalty clashes with power, where battles carry philosophical weight, and where magic feels inseparable from lived tradition. It is this ability to blend cinematic action with emotional depth that has made her one of the most compelling writers in speculative fiction today.

Lee’s path to storytelling wasn’t a straight one. Born in Calgary and educated at Stanford, she spent years navigating the corporate world before trading business strategies for the art of building entire fictional societies. Her martial arts training, as she holds black belts in both kung fu and karate, has shaped her writing as much as her love of crime dramas and wuxia cinema, lending her fight scenes a visceral realism and her characters a profound sense of discipline and purpose.

Her breakout came with Jade City, the opening chapter of the Green Bone Saga, a sweeping epic of clan warfare, honor, and power that earned the World Fantasy Award and multiple Aurora Awards, with Time magazine naming it one of the 100 best fantasy books of all time. Across its sequels, Jade War and Jade Legacy, Lee expanded her richly imagined world of Kekon into an intergenerational saga about legacy, ambition, and the cost of power. Her storytelling is as patient as it is unflinching, building intricate politics and unforgettable characters while never losing sight of the personal stakes at the heart of the conflict.

Beyond her adult fiction, Lee has made her mark in young adult science fiction with Zeroboxer, Exo, and Cross Fire, and in shorter works like the acclaimed novella Untethered Sky. Each project reflects her trademark blend of thoughtfulness and momentum, whether she is writing about futuristic prizefighters, alien-occupied Earth, or mythic creatures stalking the wilderness.

Fonda Lee’s work resonates because it is more than escapism. Her stories examine what it means to live by a code, to carry the weight of heritage, and to carve out one’s destiny in the face of unrelenting pressure. With every book, she invites readers into worlds that feel at once mythic and intimately real, places where power is contested, family is everything, and every choice has consequences.
