I didn't realize this was part of a larger series when I picked it up. My love of all things Rucka led me to it. It has good characterizations and a strong, queer female lead, which is enough to get me on-board. I was conflicted about their mission, the empire, and their desire to quell a seemingly much needed rebellion. I chalk that conflict up to the lack of context given in this prequel of sorts as to where the story would eventually go.

Legendarily epic dystopian cyber-punk adventure.

A badass lesbian warrior treks across the brutal wastelands, looking for the legendary Grendel Paladin. She and the unstoppable cyborg work together to overthrow warlords, in an effort to create a new empire among the ruins of mankind.
