Revenge is not usually a good way to solve a problem.
The first is revenge and how strong of a driving force that is to sway emotions and allegiance. I actually found those parts the most interesting because I felt they summarized the various themes presented in SOME DESPERATE GLORY. The voice in those sections analyzes humanity’s general propensity toward war and a host of other semi-philosophical angles. But some information is presented in a textbook-like format to provide the reader with an anthropological point of view.
The story is mainly through Kyr’s point of view. However, a series of events lead to Kyr’s avoidance of Nursery, catapulting her off of Gaea and onto an adventure she never anticipated. There she is expected to produce babies to carry on the species and ultimately annihilate the majoda, who carried out the demise of humanity. But behind-the-scene events result in an unexpected assignment to Nursery. So she expects an assignment to an action post. Kyr is a warbreed, specifically bred to be large and strong. She awaits her final assignment, which she will carry out for the rest of her life. This story follows Kyr, the female main character, on board Gaea Station where she trained through young adulthood to carry on avenging the human race. SOME DESPERATE GLORY is a stand-alone science fiction novel about the lengths humanity will go to seek revenge. My review is my own and reflects my honest opinion about this book. I received a free, digital, advanced reading copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley.
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.Īlongside 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. Kyr is one of the best warriors of her generation, the sword of a dead planet. 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. Since she was born, Kyr has trained for the day she can avenge the murder of planet Earth. *These are not affiliate links and I do not make a commission from any purchase made using these links.
