À propos de la quatrième de couverture

Praise for Space Opera
2019 HUGO AWARD BEST NOVEL FINALIST

'Valente has cleverly recreated just the kind of surreal alien anarchy Douglas Adams would be proud of, all of it topped off with a Ziggy Stardust swagger' SFX Magazine


'Cat Valente is mad and brilliant and no one else would have even thought of this, much less pulled it off' John Scalzi


'This glorious glitterball dream of a book is Valente at her best: beguiling, bewitching, and inexplicably demanding' Seanan McGuire


'Valente's book contains a story and prose that is both electric and breathless, It has the heart of Douglas Adams and the soul of David Bowie' Chuck Wendig

À propos de la deuxième de couverture

Yes, yes, of course Decibel Jones and the Absolute Zeroes saved the world.


But what have they done for us lately?


The Metagalactic Grand Prix is back. The stage is set for the 101st season of this part-gladiatorial contest, part-beauty pageant, part-concert extravaganza, and the stakes couldn't be higher.


But while Decibel Jones and the Absolute Zeroes are busy preparing for the contest (after finishing in tenth place the last time round) the fate of the Earth is once again threatened.


Malevolent forces are gathering, hatching a nefarious plot to disrupt the peace and take down these upstarts. But will humanity be able to rise again?


Return to the greatest contest in the galaxy, and the world of the hilarious bestseller Space Opera, with this electric new novel from New York Times bestselling author Catherynne M. Valente.
