Book Synopsis
The aliens are coming for us and they want our voices.
New York Times bestselling author Gail Carriger brings you a gloriously warm and unique scifi about the power of art, celebrity, and found family.
Phex is a barista on a forgotten moon. Which is fine - he likes being ignored and he's good at making drinks. Until one day an alien hears him singing and recruits him to become a god. Now Phex is thrust headfirst into the galaxy's most cutthroat entertainment industry, where music is visible, the price of fame can kill, and the only friends he has want to be worshiped.
Welcome to the divinity. Where there is no difference between celebrity and religion, love and belief, acolyte and alien. Where the right kind of obsession can drive a person crazy or turn them divine.
"A tapestry that is simultaneously witty, charming, exhilarating and downright fun." fantasyliterature.com (Soulless)
Becky Chambers meets The Voice in the first of the Tinkered Starsong trilogy in which the mysterious Dyesi are trying to take over the universe, but they're doing it so beautifully we might just let them.
Review Quotes
"Readers will love the well-developed characters and the quirky charm imbued into every page, and will eagerly await the sequel."
RT Book Review (Carriger's previous YA series, The Finishing School books)
"Be it sci-fi, paranormal, or steampunk...Carriger is a master at crafting characters that leap off the page and into the readers imagination."
Love Bytes (The 5th Gender)
"This is exactly what I needed. Great characters. Whimsey. Political commentary. All wrapped up in a delightful story. Gail Carriger is a marvel."
libbydodd on BookBub (Defy or Defend)
"It hits you in the feels, makes you laugh and cry, and makes you think about matters of family, kin, and the heart."
BookRiot (The 5th Gender)
"Behind the delightful whimsy and snarky observations, there is a great deal of heart and soul..."
RT Book Review (Prudence)
"And if that is how the author treats her secondary characters, you can be damn sure that her protagonists are wonderfully written. They have layers and flaws-some not so obvious on first or second inspection-and grow throughout the book in the way all good characters should."
