Drew Williams

Think big guns, smugglers, epic space battles, and a telekinetic girl with all the gifts. Jane Kamali is an agent for the Justified. Her mission: to recruit children with miraculous gifts in the hope that they might prevent the pulse from once again sending countless worlds back to the dark ages. Hot on her trail is the Pax—a collection of fascist zealots who believe they are the rightful rulers of the galaxy and who remain untouched by the pulse. Now Jane, a handful of comrades from her past, and a telekinetic girl called Esa must fight their way through a galaxy full of dangerous conflicts, remnants of ancient technology, and other hidden dangers. And that's just the beginning . . .

Hard. *** Praise for Drew Williams and the Universe After series *** ‘A proper space spectacular, the love child of Destiny and StarWars, raised by Firefly on a steady diet of Resident Evil… The dialogue is snappy and the jokes are laugh out loud: an escapist, gleeful, explodey space opera’ Tor.com ‘The only thing more fun than a bonkers space battle is a whole book packed with bonkers space battles.

Doch gerade als sie die junge Esa, einen telekinetisch begabten, miesepetrigen Teenager, aufgespürt hat, geht etwas schief, und plötzlich steckt Jane mitten in einem intergalaktischen Krieg – den sie versehentlich selbst ausgelöst hat ...
