Hugo Award Winner for Best Novel!

Arthur C. Clarke Award Finalist!

A thrillingly told queer space opera about the wreckage of war, the family you find, and who you must become when every choice is stripped from you, Some Desperate Glory is Astounding Award Winner Emily Tesh's explosive debut novel.

Some Desperate Glory surprised me at every turn. At once a space thriller, a tale of deprogramming, and a missive on identity and meaning, the result is a vitally refreshing addition to the SFF genre. This book has earned a permanent place on my favorites shelf.V. E. Schwab

Masterful, audacious storytelling. Relentless, unsentimental, a completely wild ride.Tamsyn Muir

This is the sort of debut novel every novelist hopes to write.John Scalzi
