Empire Ascendant

Praise for The Worldbreaker Saga:
"Hurley reuses old tropes to excellent effect, interweaving them with original elements to create a world that will fascinate and delight her established fans and appeal to newcomers. Readers will blaze through this opening installment and eagerly await the promised sequel."
- Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)

"This is a hugely ambitious work, bloody and violent, with interestingly gender-flipped politics and a host of factions to keep straight, as points of view switch often. Although it is a challenging read, the strong narrative thread in this new series from Hurley (God's War) pulls readers through the imaginative tangle of multiple worlds and histories colliding."
- Library Journal (Starred Review)

Praise for Kameron Hurley:
"Kameron Hurley is ferociously imaginative - with the emphasis on the ferocious. She writes novels that are smart, dark, visceral and wonderfully, hectically entertaining."
-- Lauren Beukes, author of Zoo City

"Kameron Hurley's writing is the most exciting thing I've seen on the genre page... What Hurley's writing has (and it's something not one in a dozen genre practitioners seems able to generate) is passion. It doesn't hurt that there's also a rare freshness to the material, and a heady dash of high octane noir worked into the mix."
-Richard K. Morgan

"Kameron Hurley's a brave, unflinching, truly original writer with a unique vision--her fiction burns right through your brain and your heart."
--Jeff VanderMeer, author of Finch

"...where some writers might focus on high-tech weapons or explosive battles in space, Hurley brings things down to a personal level, recalling more the toughminded realism of Chris Moriarty's Spin State..."
- New York Review of Science Fiction

"God's War was part slow burn, part explosive action... in the end the novel was utterly compelling."
- Tor.com

"Hurley's world-building is phenomenal... (she) smoothly handles tricky themes such as race, class, religion, and gender without sacrificing action."
- Publishers Weekly
