Rendition To Books God's War (Bel Dame Apocrypha #1)

Nyx is a bel dame, a bounty hunter paid to collect the heads of deserters – by almost any means necessary.

‘Almost’ proved to be the problem.

Cast out and imprisoned for breaking one rule too many, Nyx and her crew of mercenaries are all about the money. But when a dubious government deal with an alien emissary goes awry, her name is at the top of the list for a covert recovery.

While the centuries-long war rages on only one thing is certain: the world’s best chance for peace rests in the hands of its most ruthless killers. . .

Write-Up Based On Books God's War (Bel Dame Apocrypha #1)
On a planet colonized by Muslims using insect-based technology in the far-flung future ravaged a multi-sect religious war, in the midst of which a scrappy band of pansexual assassins try to scrap out a living (selling the occasional organ to pay bills). Ho-hum. Nothing we all haven't read a thousand times before, right?Well, maybe not. Fantastic concept, well-written, heckuva world built by Hurley here. But here's the problem -- I couldn't force myself to care about any of these characters,

The Good:The setting is excellent - a planet torn by religious war, sometime after the collapse of a galactic civilisation. 'Bugpunk' biotechnology, post-Islamic feminism, holy assassins, boxing wizards - this book is full of sweet ideas done well. And what an awesome protagonist.The Bad:The plot drifts in places, far too much like real life.'Friends' character the protagonist is most like:Nyxnissa is a product of her nightmarish environment. She is scarred, vulnerable and brutally hard. Like a



On a hardscrabble alien world populated with what humanity becomes in the far future, a long holy war rages. Both sides have drafted all their men for so many generations that the societies left behind have become nearly matriarchal, populated by females, boys, and the very old or damaged men who survived their war service. Their planet is nealry deadly for humanity, and over the years its colonists have made all sorts of adjustments. Now they scrape themselves regularly for cancers the way

Night Shade Books (the publisher) has my number when it comes to whatever it is that catches my eye with cover pictures. And then NSB hits my other sensory checkpoints when I pick up a book - the books are a good size and heft for cradling in the hands or lap, the cover material is a non-glossy and yet satiny-smooth finish that doesn't preserve unsightly greasy fingerprints, and the pages and print are sturdy and don't smear. I was actually hooked by the 2nd in the series for this and another

Nyx sold her womb somewhere between Punjai and Faleen, on the edge of the desert. Drunk but no longer bleeding, she pushed into a smoky cantina just after dark and ordered a pinch of morphine and a whiskey chaser. She bet all of her money on a boxer named Jaks and lost it two rounds later when Jaks hit the floor like and antique harem girl.What an opening!In God's War, Ms. Hurley creates a fully realized alien world, culture and characters unlike any I have ever read. Her story of Nyx, a

So good! I have got to stop judging books by their ratings, otherwise I would have never picked this up! I can't wait to continue this series. I have book 2 and the book of short stories on hold at the library! 😜😜 This had everything I loved in a book! Unique world building, cool magic system, bleak tone, unlikable anti-heroes (except well I really liked them all!), complicated and complex characters and relationships. I loved it!
