In The Never Wars--a mind-bending mix of Interstellar and The Expanse--a group of disgraced Special Forces are given one chance to redeem themselves. The question is whether they'll survive long enough for it to matter.
A realistic and chilling vision of life on the Moon, where dust kills as easily as the vacuum of space . . . but murder is even quicker—a fast-paced, cinematic science fiction thriller, this debut novel combines the inventiveness of The Martian, the intrigue of The Expanse, and the thrills of Red Rising.
A former award-winning journalist, science fiction author David Pedreira’s debut novel Gunpowder Moon was published by HarperVoyager, the global science fiction/fantasy imprint of HarperCollins. He lives in Florida, writes at night, plays ice hockey twice a week, and spends as much time as he can outdoors.
Special Forces are used to crazy ops, but orbiting a black hole to slow down time and fight Earth’s dirty wars in the future? That’s new, even for them. But that’s the mission for Owen Quarry, Anaya Pretorius, and the rest of COG, a company of elite, disgraced, soldiers from around the globe.
They join a defrocked company commander, an AI
Special Forces are used to crazy ops, but orbiting a black hole to slow down time and fight Earth’s dirty wars in the future? That’s new, even for them. But that’s the mission for Owen Quarry, Anaya Pretorius, and the rest of COG, a company of elite, disgraced, soldiers from around the globe.
They join a defrocked company commander, an AI warship with self-confidence issues, and a crew of misfit troupers on a dizzying time-quest: prove the concept of stationing armies in spacetime.
If they complete ten missions, they’ll be redeemed as citizens in good standing.
But the cost will be heavy—in time and in souls. And as one of their own hunts them down and another rises from the past with a key to freedom, Quarry and Pretorius find that redemption and survival are two very different things.
“Former journalist Pedreira’s debut novel is an excellent sci-fi thriller set on the moon during a seething international crisis . . . Pedreira is very good at drawing characters and showing the terrible limits within which they must function. This is an exciting story with an unexpected depth—a solid winner.”
