Summary

"In these edgy, unexpected tales, a body-hopping mercenary avenges his pet elephant, and an orphan falls in love with a sentient starship. Fighters ally to power a reality-bending engine, and a swamp-dwelling introvert tries to save the world--from her plague casting former wife. So come meet Kameron Hurley in the future. It's weirder--and far more hopeful--than you could ever imagine."--Back cover.
