When tech scavenger X?ch Si is captured and imprisoned by the infamous pirates of the Red Banner, she expects to be tortured or killed. Instead, their leader, Rice Fish, makes X?ch Si an utterly incredible proposition: an offer of marriage. Both have their reasons for this arrangement: X?ch Si needs protection; Rice Fish, a sentient spaceship, needs a technical expert to investigate the death of her first wife, the Red Scholar. That's all there is to it. But as the interstellar war against piracy rages on and their own investigation reaches a dire conclusion, the two of them discover that their arrangement has evolved into something much less business-focused and more personal...and tender. And maybe the best thing that's ever happened to either of them-but only if they can find a way to survive together. Advance Praise for The Red Scholar's Wake: "So romantic I may simply perish." -Tasha Suri, author of The Jasmine Throne "LESBIAN SPACE PIRATES. Enough said." -Katee Robert, NYT bestselling author of Neon Gods "The Red Scholar's Wake is a fizzingly inventive space opera, quite unlike anything I've encountered before, and told with style, grace, and a big dose of heart. SF is lucky to have Aliette de Bodard." -Alastair Reynolds, Sunday Times bestselling author "The Red Scholar's Wake takes you on an exhilarating dive into space piracy with passion, politics, dazzling settings, and-even better-a profound core of love transcending hopelessness that rings throughout the story." -Everina Maxwell, author of WINTER'S ORBIT 538 $a Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 4 $a Space Opera 650 4 $a LGBTQ+ - Lesbian 650 4 $a Science Fiction 650 0 $a Electronic books. 710 2 $a hoopla digital. 856 40 $u https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/15444944?utm_source=MARC $z Instantly available on hoopla. 856 42 $z Cover image $u https://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ins_9781625676108_180.jpeg 941 $a 1 952 $l GFPE771 $d 20231206011927.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=40A68FE6940511EE938C1F5A49ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
