"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.

A Macmillan Audio production from Tor.com.

this book has found me like a golden arrow in my heart shot by god

once in a lifetime read

Coś poszło nie tak. Spróbuj ponownie za kilka minut.

the story of this book starts out VERY uncomfortable, in a good way, it describes what happens to children brainwashed by an authoritarian state/cult very well in my opinion, the situation the main character finds herself in is realistic in a way that made me really uncomfortable, its very well written.
im glad the story went the way it did. i got over being uncomfortable pretty quickly after the first act and the book gripped me so much i listened through it in two days. usually i take more time for audiobooks!
and the VA is amazing, aher vocal range is fantastic and she really breathes life into all the different characters! i hope to hear more from her in the future!

amazing voice actress and a well crafted story

Quite some twists and turns of character development there. Good stuff. Of course some less than open minded people may be triggered ... f them

I've read and listened to many books which head a dreadful and basically sad story but still were a joy to read. This (audio)book is a different category.

narrator: sounds always sad and whiny and I just gave up after half the book, because I couldn't stand her anymore.

story: uncomfortable, and I enjoyed The left hand of darkness or Alien clay, so this book here is uncomfortable on a level of writing. The writing style has no beauty in it, neither the world building nor the characters are interesting or new and there is only dread.

author is on my personal blacklist
