A feminist Guardians of the Galaxy—a smart, swashbuckling, wildly
imaginative adventure of a rag-tag team of brilliant misfits, dangerous
renegades, and enhanced outlaws in a war-torn future.
A wildly
successful innovator to rival Steve Jobs or Elon Musk, Vivian Liao is
prone to radical thinking, quick decision-making, and reckless action.
On the eve of her greatest achievement, she's trying to outrun those who
are trying to steal her success.
In the chilly darkness of a
Boston server farm, Viv sets her ultimate plan into motion. A terrifying
instant later, Vivian Liao is catapulted through space and time to a
far future where she confronts a destiny stranger and more deadly than
she could ever imagine.
The end of time is ruled by an ancient,
powerful Empress who blesses or blasts entire planets with a single
thought. Rebellion is literally impossible to consider--until Vivian
arrives. Trapped between the Pride, a ravening horde of sentient
machines, and a fanatical sect of warrior monks who call themselves the
Mirrorfaith, Viv must rally a strange group of allies to confront the
Empress and find a way back to the world and life she left behind.
A
magnificent work of vivid imagination and universe-spanning action,
Empress of Forever is a feminist Guardians of the Galaxy crossed with
Star Wars and spiced with the sensibility and spirit of Iain M. Banks
and William Gibson.
