“WHAT IT’S ABOUT: Kel Cheris, a captain disgraced for her unconventional methods in the galactic fight against heretics, is given a chance to redeem herself by capturing a star fortress back from the heretics. However, to do so, she enlists the aid of an undead (that is, resurrected) tactician who went mad in his first life.

And is one of io9’s Scifi and Fantasy Novels You Should Add to Your Bookshelves This June!

Ninefox Gambit by Yoon Ha Lee is one of B&N’s 7 SF/F Debuts to Watch for in 2016!

“Captain Kel Cheris is in a tough spot. After disgracing herself in battle, she’s given a second chance: retake a star fortress recently seized by heretics. Unfortunately, the only way to do that seems to be to team up with the digital ghost of an undead general most known for going crazy and massacring his own army. The first in the planned Machineries of Empire series, Ninefox Gambit more than deserves the significant advance buzz it has received, and won’t disappoint fans of Lee’s brain-bending short fiction.”

The newly released 2015 Locus Recommended Reading List includes The Traitor Baru Cormorant by Seth Dickinson, Karen Memory by Elizabeth Bear, and Steles of the Sky by Elizabeth Bear, plus short fiction from Elizabeth Bear, Seth Dickinson, and Yoon Ha Lee!
