Description
Saints and preachers, librarians and horse thieves, lawmakers and lawbreakers, and a crash-surviving spaceborn vagrant searching for her lover on a scarred Earth.
Earth, the distant future: climate change has reduced our verdant home into a hard-scrabble wasteland. Saints and sinners, lawmakers and sheriffs, travellers and gunslingers and horse thieves abound. People are as diverse and divided as they've ever been - except in their shared suspicions when a stranger comes to town.
One night a ship falls from the sky, bringing the planet's first visitor in three hundred years. She's armed, she's scared... and she's looking for someone.
Love, loss, and gunslinging in this dazzling debut novel by Grace Curtis. For fans of Sam J. Miller, Mary Robinette Kowal, and Becky Chambers, Frontier is a heartfelt queer romance in a high noon standoff with our planet's uncertian future, full of thrills, a love story, and laser guns.

Frontier. I could stop my review right there because, in so many different ways, it is completely apt. This book has a very different feel to many Sci-fi books. But I liked the slower paced pared back feel. I really enjoyed listening to this Sci-fi/western/ stranger rides into a town/devastated Earth/love story set around a search to regain an unexpected love who has been lost. The stranger’s story is revealed in a number of vignettes, slowly revealing her character and the reason for the search. Often uplifting enough to make you smile, only to be dashed by the harshness of some of the books characters. Sad though that is, it seems in keeping with the harsh reality of the frontier setting. Don’t stop listening/ reading till the end though, as don’t love and the stranger always win out in these type of westerns? Thank you to Hodder and Stoughton Audio and NetGalley for the ARC. The views expressed are all mine, freely given.
