Moonstorm
Autor Yoon Ha Leeen Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 iun 2024 – vârsta de la 12 ani
Hwa Young was just ten years old when imperial forces destroyed her home, among the rebel clans of the Moonstorm. Now, years later, she is a citizen of the very empire that orphaned her, dreaming of getting back out among the stars and piloting a lancer—the fleet’s deadliest, most advanced fighting craft.
When a rebel attack leaves Hwa Young stranded on an imperial starship, her dreams become a reality. A military ship has no space for civilians, and the fleet badly needs lancer pilots—and Hwa Young and her friends are quick to volunteer for the demanding programme.
But training is nothing like what they expected, and secrets—like the fate of the fleet’s previous lancer squad, and deeper truths about the rebellion itself—are mounting up. When Hwa Young uncovers a conspiracy that puts their entire world at risk, she’s forced to choose between a past she’s put behind her and an empire she no longer trusts.

Recenzii
“I love Yoon’s work! Solidly and satisfyingly full of battles and political intrigue, in a beautifully built far-future that manages to be human and alien at the same time.” —Ann Leckie on Ninefox Gambit
“Beautiful, brutal and full of the kind of off-hand inventiveness that the best SF trades in... an effortlessly accomplished SF novel.” —Alastair Reynolds on Ninefox Gambit
“Starship Troopers meets Apocalypse Now -- and they’ve put Kurtz in charge... Mind-blistering military space opera, but with a density of ideas and strangeness that recalls the works of Hannu Rajaniemi, even Cordwainer Smith.” —Stephen Baxter on Ninefox Gambit
