People worship the Living Cosmos, essentially space itself they live in space, with hundreds of machines designed to make their lives easier. In this futuristic world, all knowledge of science is banned. That person is Sidonia Impyrean, daughter of a heretic Senator, whose beliefs that humans need to learn science is getting the whole family in trouble.

Nemesis is a Diabolic, a genetically engineered human who was modified to love only one person in the whole world. It’s clever, wicked, twisted, and thrilling, and the character dynamics are SUPERB.Īs always, let’s start at the beginning. Even when books have been absolutely amazing, I’ve often docked a star for minor issues just because of how uncomfortable I am with giving out the full five stars.Īnd yet this book totally snuck up on me and nabbed the rating right out of my hands. (Once every 600,000 years, if my memories of Geography GCSE serve me right). If you know ANYTHING about me or my reviewing style, you know that I give out five-star ratings with approximately the same frequency that Yellowstone erupts. And, amidst all the danger, action and intrigue, her humanity might be the only thing that can save her, Sidonia and the entire Empire… As the Empire begins to fracture and rebellion looms closer, Nemesis learns that there is something stronger than her deadly force: the one thing she’s been told she doesn’t have – humanity. Now one of the galaxy’s most dangerous weapons is masquerading in a world of corruption and Nemesis has to hide her true abilities or risk everything.

But when the power-mad Emperor summons Sidonia to the galactic court as a hostage, there is only one way for Nemesis to protect Sidonia. There’s no one Nemesis wouldn’t kill to keep her safe. Created to protect a galactic Senator’s daughter, Sidonia.
