Reading Roundtable Adult Book Discussion- Some Desperate Glory by Emily Tesh

Join us monthly, February through November, for our book club "Reading Roundtable"; a book discussion for adult readers. Pick up a bookmark or flyer at the Recommendations Desk with a list of books for upcoming discussions. Books will be a mix of genres, and will be available at the check-out desk one month before the discussion date.

Some Desperate Glory by Emily Tesh is the August Reading Roundtable book selection.

While we live, the enemy shall fear us.

Since she was born, Kyr has trained for the day she can avenge the murder of planet Earth. Raised in the bowels of Gaea Station alongside the last scraps of humanity, she readies herself to face the Wisdom, the powerful, reality-shaping weapon that gave the majoda their victory over humanity.

They are what’s left. They are what must survive. Kyr is one of the best warriors of her generation, the sword of a dead planet. When Command assigns her brother to certain death and relegates her to Nursery to bear sons until she dies trying, she knows she must take humanity's revenge into her own hands.

Alongside her brother’s brilliant but seditious friend and a lonely, captive alien, Kyr escapes from everything she’s known into a universe far more complicated than she was taught and far more wondrous than she could have imagined.
