Warped State

Jasper Wilder is an activist, not a spy, but he’ll become one if that’s what it takes to stop Ravel Corporation from reviving the research project that devastated his home planet.

His plan is straightforward: break into the secure facility. Steal the research data. Find a weakness and sabotage the project. But all that goes out the airlock when he meets Havoc, a clever, passionate, but politically naive worker trying to reform Ravel from within.

Havoc could help Jasper. Instead, he’s fighting for a lost cause. Ravel doesn’t treat activists kindly, and Jasper knows if he sticks with his plan, Havoc will take the blame.

With an elite security operative closing in, and time running out to sabotage the deadly project before it launches, Jasper needs to find a way to team up with Havoc—before his mission hurts the person he’s coming to care about. 

Full of queer characters and found family, a sweetly anxious sentient spaceship, and hijinks galore, Warped State is sure to delight fans of Ann Leckie, Becky Chambers, and Martha Wells.
