"If you like rough, battle-scarred women who know how to regulate, you're going to love Nyx... makes Han Solo look like a boy scout." --io9</b> <p/>Nyx had already been to hell. One prayer more or less wouldn't make any difference... <p/>On a ravaged, contaminated world, a centuries-old holy war rages, fought by a bloody mix of mercenaries, magicians, and conscripted soldiers. Though the origins of the war are shady and complex, there's one thing everybody agrees on: <p/>There's not a chance in hell of ending it. <p/>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? <p/>The world is about to find out.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Praise for Kameron Hurley: </b> <p/><b><i>God's War</i></b><br> "<b>Inventive, challenging, tough as nails</b>--just like its hard-hitting heroine. <b>Recommended."--Joe Abercrombie</b> <p/> "Kameron Hurley's a brave, unflinching, truly original writer with <b>a unique vision . . . burns right through your brain and your heart."--Jeff VanderMeer</b>, author of <i>Finch</i> <p/> "<b>Hurley's world-building is phenomenal</b> . . .(she) smoothly handles tricky themes such as race, class, religion, and gender <b>without sacrificing action.</b>"--<i>Publishers Weekly</i> <p/> "<b>One of the most thought-provoking debuts I've read so far this year.</b>"--<i>Locus</i> <p/> "<b>If you like rough, battle-scarred women</b> who know how to regulate, <b>you're going to love Nyx...
