Praise for Apocalypse Nyx
A Fantasy Hotlist Top 5 Speculative Fiction of 2018 pick
A B&N Favorite Science Fiction and Fantasy Books of 2018
A Grimdark Top Science Fiction/Fantasy Book of 2018
“The plots are taut, thrilling, gritty, violent, profane,
magical—everything Hurley’s readers expect . . . Hurley has created
one of the most engrossing environments in modern sf.”
—Booklist
“Series fans will savor original episodes featuring the battle-worn
Nyx, which also serve as an introduction to new readers.”
—Library Journal
“An excellent introduction for those wondering whether to pick up
the original trilogy or a great way for those who have already read
the previous books chronicling Nyx’s adventures to spend a bit more
time in Nyx’s violent world.”
—SF Revu
“This collection recaptures everything that made the Bel Dame
Apocrypha such a memorable read and is a must for anyone who's a
fan of the original series. Apocalypse Nyx is also the perfect
opportunity for newcomers to get a feel for the universe and its
protagonists for the first time.”
—Fantasy Hotlist
“Highly recommended as a fun adult action-packed scifi with a
scoundrel protagonist.”
—Read Well
“If you’re new to Nyx, this may be a good place to start, taking
place before the current series of which she’s the star. If you’re
already a fan, this adds some wonderfully bloody, emotionally sharp
texture to an already intriguing world and characters—get on
it.”
—Sci-Fi and Fantasy Reviews
“Apocalypse Nyx is grim, unapologetic science fiction at its best .
. . gripping.”
—New York Journal of Books
“This is a dystopia that revels in it in a big, joyous way with
cracking one-liners and tight squeezes to escape. Apocalypse Nyx is
definitely not for the squeamish, but if you like your heroines as
kickass as Dutch from the TV series Killjoys you’ll love Nyxnissa.
Good, honest science fiction fun with a feminist twist.”
—Starburst
“The five novellas that make up Apocalypse Nyx are packed with more
glare, grit, and snarl than a junkyard full of mutated jackals,
landing their punches with all the tooth-loosening,
hardhat-launching, lunchbox-swinging frankness of a noontime
construction worker brawl. Hurley's world of mercenaries,
magicians, blood, and bug guts is dusty enough that you can feel it
grinding between your molars and insistent enough that it'll yank
you by the collar and not let go, a no-frills hang-the-hell-on
death-rattle-and-roll Keith Moon drum solo of staccato narrative
bursts.”
—Bo Bolander, author of The Only Harmless Great Thing
“Nyx is back and just as good as ever. In this new collection of
five novellas, Kameron Hurley serves up courses of crunchy action
and intrigue, layered with tender character moments that bring real
depth to this intense, unique world.”
—JY Yang, author of The Black Tides of Heaven and The Red Threads
of Fortune
“Incorrigible and unapologetically heartless, Nyx is the bounty
hunter to call when the stakes are high, the payouts are iffy, and
the morality is optional.”
—Nicky Drayden, author of The Prey of Gods
“Great for all you hard-drinking, hard punching, embittered readers
who like a lot of grit in their post-apocalyptic hard-SF Biopunk .
. . Nyx really shines darkly.”
—Bradley Horner, author of Darkside Earther
“With Nyx, Hurley masterfully writes about a strong woman who is
also a very broken human being—something women are rarely allowed
to be.”
—Stina Leicht, author of And Blue Skies from Pain and Cold Iron
“There are no limits to the universe Ms. Hurley creates.”
—Virdea
“Gritty with a capital grit . . . In all—I love this world, I love
these stories.”
—Fangs for the Fantasy
“If your favourite action TV series were distilled in book form,
this would be it.”
—British Fantasy Society
“Compelling and fast-paced, gruesome and titillating at turns,
presenting an approach to gender and sexuality that is appalling
but fascinating.”
— Tor.com
“Kameron Hurley’s Apocalypse Nyx (Tachyon) is a welcome return to
the adventures of the author’s iconic hard-fisted
anti-heroine.”
— Seattle Review of Books
“For all that God’s War was nominated for every award under the
sun, I enjoyed this more: Nyx’s tempestuous life lends itself
perfectly to discrete, action-packed episodes.”
— Interzone
“Fans show up for the fatalistic prose, acid-tongued banter between
hard-bitten mercenaries, over the top violence and female-centered
action storytelling—Apocalypse Nyx delivers on all those
fronts.”
—Thousand Year Plan
“Nyx is a brilliantly imagined character.”
—Strange Alliances
“Those already familiar with Nyx and crew should enjoy these
delightfully grimy and sweaty slices of their world. The newbies
will have titles to add to their reading lists.”
—Locus
“Apocalypse Nyx, like its title character, is swaggering and brash,
bristling with guns and spitting quips.”
—Strange Horizons
“As always, Hurley’s worldbuilding is bonkers fun . . . a great
read with [its] brisk prose and strange world. Give it go, you
won’t regret it.”
—Elitist Book Reviews
“Apocalypse Nyx takes us into the world of Hurley’s Bel Dame
Apocryphaseries, giving us glimpses of the hardened, masterful
character across five equally impressive novellas . . . I strongly
recommend the collection, both for newbies and for existing
fans.”
—Reviews and Robots
Praise for the Bel Dame Apocrypha
On God’s War
“Nyxnissa would quite clearly kick Conan's ass . . . Just what the
genre ordered.”—Strange Horizons
“Are you frustrated with Mary Sue heroines? Well, here comes God's
War to rock your face off . . . If you like rough, battle-scarred
women who know how to regulate, you're going to love Nyx . . . she
makes Han Solo look like a boy scout.”—io9
“God's War is one of the most thought-provoking debuts I've read so
far this year.”—Locus
On Infidel
“It’s a pleasure to return to the fascinating and messed-up world
[Hirley] created—one especially enjoyable for its ethnically
diverse cast and freewheeling remixes of traditional gender
roles.”—Tor.com
“A fast-paced book with a lot of action and smart character
moments.”—Strange Horizons
On Rapture
“Kameron Hurley is ferociously imaginative—with an emphasis on
ferocious.”—Lauren Beukes, author of The Shining Girls
“Edge-of-the-seat action set within a strange and alien world
that’s the mutant child of Frank Herbert and Roger Zelazny.”—David
J. Williams, author of The Mirrored Heavens
“[Nyxnissa] is gloriously self-possessed, repellently amoral, and
thoroughly original. She is a woman in a man's grimdark
world.—Strange Horizons
Praise for The Geek Feminist Revolution
“A call to arms for those who care about the future of science
fiction and fantasy.”—John Scalzi, author of Redshirts
“Kameron Hurley writes essays that piss people off, make them
think, make them act. This is good stuff. Read it.”—Kate Elliott,
author of the Crown of Stars series
“Filled me with blistering hope and rage. Amazing
collection.”—Annalee Newitz, author of Autonomous
