* SHORTLISTED FOR THE CLARKE, HUGO, BSFA AND LOCUS AWARDS * 'One of the finest science fiction achievements of the decade' - REACTOR 'A fast, gripping story' - REACTOR 'One of the most ambitious and rewarding science fiction series in print' - STRANGE HORIZONS SHUOS JEDAO IS AWAKE... ...and nothing is as he remembers. He's a teenager, a cadet - a nobody - in the body of an old man; a general in command of an elite force. And he's the most feared, and reviled, man in the galaxy. Jedao carries orders from Hexarch Nirai Kujen to re-conquer the fractured pieces of the hexarchate. But he has no memory of ever being a soldier, let alone a general, and the Kel soldiers under his command hate him for a massacre he can't remember committing. Kujen's friendliness can't hide the fact that he's a tyrant. And what's worse, Jedao and Kujen are being hunted - by an enemy who knows more about Jedao than he does himself...

One Last Stop
Keeps the queer leads and time-bending strangeness, but trades galactic atrocity for a warm, spicy romance with a guaranteed happy ending.
Everything and the Moon
Also about a past that won't stay buried and honor versus duty, though in Regency drawing rooms, far lighter and openly romantic.
The sum of all kisses
Shares the theme of an unforgivable past act hanging over a hated man, but resolves it through banter and romance rather than war.
The People We meet On Vacation
Another story of memory and misremembered history between two people, minus the massacres; slow burn, gentle, comfort-read pacing.
Funny Story
Offers identity rebuilt from scratch after everything falls apart, but in a funny small-town setting instead of a brutal empire.
One & Only
Keeps the sense of fate and predetermined roles imposed on a protagonist, though sweet and magical rather than grim and violent.
