My most recent book is Tiger Honor, the sequel to Dragon Pearl, my middle grade space opera from Disney-Hyperion.
I’m currently working on the first book of a YA space opera trilogy and the sequel to Tiger Honor. Wish me luck!
My space opera trilogy, The Machineries of Empire, is available from Solaris Books: Ninefox Gambit (2016; Locus Award for best first novel, Hugo and Nebula finalist), Raven Stratagem (2017; Hugo finalist), and Revenant Gun (2018; Hugo finalist).
There’s a follow-up collection, Hexarchate Stories (2019). It’s half reprints, half new material; most of the latter is contained in “Glass Cannon,” a novella that’s a direct sequel to Revenant Gun. There is also a bonus Twine game (hypertext/Choose-Your-Own-Adventure-style) about Cheris’s days at Kel Academy, from every spark a fire. (‘Ware the content notes!)
By request, a hexarchate faction cheat sheet. You might also want to try the faction sorting quiz for fun!
Other stories in the world of the hexarchate, which can be read as stand-alones:
- “Extracurricular Activities,” about Shuos Jedao back when he was a (living) hotshot spaceship captain, and a spy mission. A Hugo finalist.
- “The Battle of Candle Arc,” which is what it says on the tin.
- “The City Unbreachable,” a standalone f/f romance that takes place in the cloistered world of a generation ship fleeing the heptarchate.
- “Calendrical Rot” in An Alphabet of Embers, ed. Rose Lemberg, a vignette that started out life as the prologue to the rough draft of Ninefox Gambit.
- Assorted flash fiction set in the hexarchate/heptarchate, posted to my Dreamwidth blog.
For lagniappe, you can buy hexarchate prints at Deuce of Gears Art, or check out the orchestral soundtrack to Ninefox Gambit, “Ninefox March,” at Deuce of Gears on Bandcamp.
