Mara

By Sophia Turner

A queer space opera about anarchy and belief.

Made to be a messiah. To point the way. No one expected that she’d make her own.

A trio of political factions stretches across the universe, claiming to keep all in their grasp safe. To cement their role as protector and spiritual guide, they have at last created their crowning achievement, a breakthrough of faith and technology: the android, Mara.

What no one expected was Mara’s escape to carve her own path. Now, the most powerful forces in the Universe are bearing down on her. They will do everything to stop the android they created from upsetting the tenuous peace of the civilised universe.

Pursued by both captors and followers alike, Mara unwaveringly chases her own purpose. A mission as mysterious as it is potent.

For fans of Some Desperate Glory, Dune, and 2312.
