Editor’s Pick

Introducing a queer, fast-paced standalone cyberpunk adventure from the author of Hammajang Luck: a bored hacker is forced by vicious gangsters to take down a crooked politician . . . only to find herself up against a code she might not be able to crack.

How do you follow the greatest crime of all time?

It’s been three years since the Atlas heist. Malia, aka the Obake, the greatest hacker of all time, was set for life. But being set for life turns out to be pretty boring.

But when her new hobby of rigging underground fights lands her in trouble with one of the most dangerous gangs on Kepler Space Station, she’s offered a deal: take down the corrupt politician interfering with the gang’s business, or it’s the end of the road for Malia.

Hastily assembling her own crew, it should be easy after the impossible heist of Atlas Industries. But this time the person she’s working for is just as bad as the person she’s taking down, and there are darker things lurking in the shadows.

Things tied to Malia’s past. Things that could decide her future.

‘A high-throttle space heist – but make it gay? Sign. Me. Up.’ – S.A. MacLean, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Phoenix Keeper on Hammajang Luck

‘Swashbuckling and heart-warming in equal measure’ – Lavanya Lakshminarayan, Arthur C. Clarke Award-nominated author of The Ten Percent Thief on Hammajang Luck
