Cyborg soldier Jacob Sicarius awakens early from stasis to find the crew of his multi-generational colony ship entrenched in civil war. Can he win the war against the mutineers and the malfunctioning AI implant fighting for control over his brain?
Time for this week’s spotlight update!
This week I’d like to direct your attention to Proxy, by Rebekka S. Leber:
Proxy serves up a complex, thoroughly fleshed-out urban fantasy world with a tone that manages to be both whimsically magical and irreverently sardonic. We’re given a deliciously flawed protagonist, whose superhuman destiny is offset by her extremely human weaknesses. Max Lucas promises to be a new icon in the tradition of hard-bitten reluctant heroines.
If you liked Jessica Jones (and if you didn’t, you must not have seen it yet), Proxy is right down your alley. I can’t wait to see how this train wreck of an antihero chooses to use her powers when she becomes the last hope of a world that’s done nothing for her.
