Never Give Your Name to Rattle...
In the cold, empty underbelly of an ODIN-class command station run by a tyrannical dictator, Mila has been sold by her deadbeat father for a fortune, with the promise that she can refine extremely rare and volatile starship fuel. The problem is, she can't. Not until the mysterious “Rattle Man” makes her a bargain, and Mila finds herself mixed in with much worse than tyrants.
Now, to escape the Rattle Man and the tyrant, Mila must put her humble roots behind her. But she can’t do it alone. She’ll have to enlist the help of new allies, including a biomechanical Berserker, a refugee Blademaster, and a vengeful Void Pirate, and discover a dormant, godlike power within herself. Then, she may just have a chance to challenge both dictators and deities alike.
Rattle Man, a story set in a star system rooted in Norse mythology, tells an updated version of the Rumpelstiltskin fairy tale from the perspective of the doomed daughter. Fans of Marissa Meyer’s Cinder and Neil Gaiman’s Norse Mythology, which helped build the world of this novel, will lose themselves in the pages of this new sci-fi adventure.
Praise for Rattle Man
“What a debut! Rattle Man blends far-future Nordic saga with a touch of Rumpelstiltskin magic to create a terrific novel of courage, love, death, and danger, as a young girl and her cyborg guardian battle against all the odds to win their freedom. You need to read this book.”
