“This is a really tight piece of military sci fi, which functions as a thriller – you aren’t exactly sure who’s planning what, and therefore who’s winning. We follow Inez Kato, who is determined to bring down an intergalactic empire called the Rule, and has been brought to its heart to be forced into aiding it with her engineering knowledge. She is pitted against Ennis Rezál, running the Rule’s side in an ongoing war against the rebellion. Each main player is hoping to use the other. Also, they fancy the pants off each other.” Read more...
“The Dragonfly Gambit is a story about a pilot who has a career-ending injury that causes her to leave the military. A decade afterwards, she gets dragged in for a different purpose – but now with plans to destroy the fleet that she was once flying for. A lot of people like to say that it’s a story about revenge. It is, to an extent. But this was my attempt at military sci fi that was critical of the military-industrial complex. I also really wanted to play with the idea of ‘every character sucks here.’ Everyone has a few redeeming qualities, but everybody is also kind of terrible in their own way.” Read more...
