He’s mocked for his name and nerdy interests at Chapel Hill High School in Portland, Oregon, and doesn’t speak enough Farsi to communicate with his Iranian relatives either. Iranian on his mother’s side and white American on his father’s side, Darius never quite fits in. When Darius’ grandfather becomes terminally ill, Darius, along with his parents and younger sister, travels to Iran for the first time in his life. The cliffhanger promises readers a return to this intriguing setting for more action.ĭarius Kellner suffers from depression, bullying by high school jocks, and a father who seems to always be disappointed in him. Along with openly feminist themes, the crew is racially diverse-and in this future world, skin color appears to carry no connotations. An obligatory romance is tacked on (and is less compelling than a background, low-key lesbian love story), but the real relationships are the deep bonds between the women of Caledonia’s crew. Caledonia must evade the better-armed fleet that is after her and keep her crew alive while deciding if she should trust him.
He claims to be a deserter and gives information about a bounty on their ship-and says Caledonia’s and Pisces’ brothers are alive, and he can help rescue them. After nearly losing Pisces on a mission to destroy a drug-farming barge, Pisces turns up with a Bullet in tow he saved her life, so she wants to spare his in turn. Four years later, they’ve rebuilt Caledonia’s mother’s ship and have a new family in their large crew. On the verge of an attempt to escape Aric’s reach, Caledonia and her best friend, Pisces, lose their families to Bullets. In a future where only shreds remain of the lost technological advancements of the old world, Aric Athair rules through his massive fleet of Bullets, conscripted, drug-dependent soldiers. An all-female ship of vengeance-seekers sails against a brutal, tyrannical warlord.
