About the book
WINNER OF THE 2024 PHILIP K. DICK AWARD
"These Burning Stars pulls off one of the most brazen, gasp-inducing reveals I’ve experienced in an age." –Esquire
A dangerous cat-and-mouse quest for revenge. An empire that spans star systems, built on the bones of a genocide. A carefully hidden secret that could collapse worlds, hunted by three women with secrets of their own. This is an explosive space opera debut from one of the most powerful new voices in science fiction.
On a dusty backwater planet, occasional thief Jun Ironway has gotten her hands on the score of a lifetime: a secret that could raze the Kindom, the ruling power of the galaxy.
A star system away, preternaturally stoic Chono and brilliant hothead Esek— the two most brutal clerics of the Kindom—are tasked with hunting Jun down.
And tracking all three across the stars is a ghost from their shared past known only as Six. But what Six wants is anyone’s guess. It’s a game of manipulation and betrayal that could destroy them all. And they have no choice but to see it through.
“An intricate plot for revenge drives this far-future SF political thriller. An exciting start from a fresh talent.”―Kirkus (Starred Review)
"Readers who love smart thrillers and explosive science fiction won’t want to miss this book."―Booklist (Starred Review)
"A devilishly fun thrill ride ... These Burning Stars is plotted like a chess match, confident and surprising as Jacobs moves each piece thoughtfully across her board."―BookPage (Starred Review)

In the silence of deep space, the infinite ocean of qi waits—alien, dangerous, and maddening to all who encounter it.
To Flail Against Infinity
Sci-Fi · Space Opera
Our take
In the silence of deep space, the infinite ocean of qi waits—alien, dangerous, and maddening to all who encounter it. But I’m not like them. I’ve seen it, touched it, and now I can cultivate it. With power comes peril, and every step deeper into this world brings new threats—and unimaginable possibilities.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Infinite power comes with infinite danger.
Once mortal, I knew three things about cultivators: they crave hierarchy, despise disrespect, and lose their sanity in deep space. There’s a reason for that—the void reveals an infinite ocean of qi, a force so alien it drives most cultivators mad.
But I’m different. I’m not really alive, and yet I can see it. I can touch it. And now, for better or worse, I can cultivate it.
With new power surging through me, I’ve stepped into a world where strength determines survival. The more I harness, the more I’ll be hunted—by those who want the power for themselves, and by forces beyond comprehension.
How far can I push the limits of this power before it pushes back?

Sci-Fi · Hard Sci-Fi · Space Opera
Our take
Born a Drone with no memory or status, Benning Kidd becomes the first of her kind to rise within an immortal future society.

Choose your retailer
About the book
Raised from the least of humanity to its elite, Benning Kidd must carve out a place for herself in humanity's distant future - no matter what stands in her way.
Humanity has moved far beyond the cradle of Earth, into the stars themselves. In the Collective, energy is limitless, travel and communication are nearly instantaneous, and every person's basic needs are fully met. Citizens are free to choose the lives they wish to lead, and the omnipresent Overnet tracks their strength, power, and accomplishments. Even death has been vanquished, and Citizens are effectively immortal, reborn anew after each death.
Benning Kidd is a Drone, the lowest class of humanity. She exists without memory, purpose, or more than the most basic awareness of herself and the world around her. An accident changes all that, and Benning becomes a Citizen of the Collective, the first Drone to do so in history. She is uniquely talented and unscrupulously driven, choosing a path of battle and glory that will take her from arena to arena and out among the stars themselves.
Benning's existence, though, is a threat to those in power, and forces move against her from the moment she steps out of the respawn chamber. As a starship officer, she's sworn to serve her new captain, but he might not be serving her in turn. She faces threats from without and within, and the only person she can trust is her personal AI, who guides her through the Collective.
Her only chance of survival is to be stronger, smarter, and more cunning than those who stand in her way. Her path is unique, and only she can forge it. She is the Drone Ensign, warrior and starship officer, and none will stop her from fulfilling her desires!
