Somewhere on the outer rim of the universe, a mass of decaying world-ships known as the Legion is traveling in the seams between the stars. For generations, a war for control of the Legion has been waged, with no clear resolution. As worlds continue to die, a desperate plan is put into motion.
Zan wakes with no memory, prisoner of a people who say they are her family. She is told she is their salvation – the only person capable of boarding the Mokshi, a world-ship with the power to leave the Legion. But Zan’s new family is not the only one desperate to gain control of the prized ship. Zan must choose sides in a genocidal campaign that will take her from the edges of the Legion’s gravity well to the very belly of the world. Zan will soon learn that she carries the seeds of the Legion’s destruction – and its possible salvation.
Advance Praise
“The Stars Are Legion is poised to be Kameron Hurley’s mainstream breakhrough, but apparently no one told her. It’s unlike any space opera you’ve ever read – a bizarro blend of New Weird adventure, political thriller, and body horror; and an intimate examination of two deeply damaged wmen. It’s as visceral and violently angry as anything she’s ever written, a ragged scream from the heart of a broken world – but one not past mending, if there are people brave enough to build a better one.”
– Joel Cunningham, Barnes & Noble SFF reviews
“[Hurley] excels at keeping the reader involved and supportive of Zan and Jayd when they seem most lost, and even when they are most opposed to each other. This gripping book is both hard to read and easy to appreciate.”
– Publishers Weekly, starred review
“Grabs you like a gravity well and won’t let go. Discovering Kameron Hurley’s work is like finding a whole new galaxy, and she is the star at its center”
– Chuck Wendig, NYT bestselling author of Star Wars: Aftermath
"Badass."
– John Scalzi
"The Stars Are Legion is a profoundly moving tale of self-discovery and self-construction in a world as wondrously layered as its unforgettable protagonist."
– Ken Liu, author of The Grace of Kings
