Seven Devils
Summary
This first book in a feminist space opera duology follows seven resistance fighters who will free the galaxy from the ruthless Tholosian Empire - or die trying. When Eris faked her death, she thought she had left her old life as the heir to the galaxy's most ruthless empire behind. But her recruitment by the Novantaen Resistance, an organization opposed to the empire's voracious expansion, throws her right back into the fray. Eris has been assigned a new mission: to infiltrate a spaceship ferrying deadly cargo and return the intelligence gathered to the Resistance. But her partner for the mission, mechanic and hotshot pilot Cloelia, bears an old grudge against Eris, making an already difficult infiltration even more complicated. When they find the ship, they discover more than they bargained for: three fugitives with firsthand knowledge of the corrupt empire's inner workings. Together, these women possess the knowledge and capabilities to bring the empire to its knees. But the clock is ticking: The new heir to the empire plans to disrupt a peace summit with the only remaining alien empire, ensuring the empire’s continued expansion. If they can find a way to stop him, they will save the galaxy. If they can't, millions may die.

2055: False Hearts
Summary
Cresciute all'interno della rigida comunità di Mana's Hearth, le sorelle siamesi Taema e Tila sognano una vita al di fuori della foresta di sequoie che le nasconde dal mondo. Il cuore che condividono ha iniziato a dare i primi segni di cedimento e se vogliono sopravvivere non hanno altra scelta che raggiungere l'altro lato della baia, dove le attende una San Francisco sconosciuta, sconvolta dal terremoto del 2055, e dove verranno separate chirurgicamente. Una notte di dieci anni dopo, Tila viene arrestata davanti alla sua casa. È fuori di sé, coperta di sangue. Su di lei pende un'accusa di omicidio, il primo in città da decenni. È sospettata di essere coinvolta nella Ratel, una potente organizzazione criminale, e di aver agito sotto gli effetti dello Zeal, un farmaco che può spingere le menti più violente e deviate a compiere i propri desideri più violenti e terrificanti. Taema sa che se vuole salvare sua sorella e sé stessa non ha altra scelta che immergersi negli anfratti più oscuri della città alla ricerca della di ciò che, indecifrabile e torvo, lega il presente al loro difficile passato, rendendo indissolubili i loro destini. Un romanzo distopico che unisce un'ambientazione fantascientifica a una trama da thriller, con richiami alle grandi opere che hanno fondato l'immaginario cyberpunk, dai romanzi di Philip K. Dick a "Matrix" a "Strange Days". >> Questo audiobook in edizione integrale vi è offerto in esclusiva per Audible ed è disponibile solamente in formato audio digitale.

False Hearts
Summary
Laura Lam's adult sci-fi debut False Hearts: Two formerly conjoined sisters are ensnared in a murderous plot involving psychoactive drugs, shared dreaming, organized crime, and a sinister cult. Raised in the closed cult of Mana's Hearth and denied access to modern technology, conjoined sisters Taema and Tila dream of a life beyond the walls of the compound. When the heart they share begins to fail, the twins escape to San Francisco, where they are surgically separated and given new artificial hearts. From then on they pursue lives beyond anything they could have previously imagined. Ten years later Tila returns one night to the twins' home in the city, terrified and covered in blood, just before the police arrive and arrest her for murder - the first homicide by a civilian in decades. Tila is suspected of involvement with the Ratel, a powerful crime syndicate that deals in the flow of Zeal, a drug that allows violent minds to enact their darkest desires in a terrifying dreamscape. Taema is given a proposition: go undercover as her sister and perhaps save her twin's life. But during her investigation Taema discovers disturbing links between the twins' past and their present. Once unable to keep anything from each other, the sisters now discover the true cost of secrets.
