Publisher Description

2016 Nebula Award finalist for Best Novella

The Minerva Sierra Challenge is a grueling spectacle, the cyborg's Tour de France. Rich thrill-seekers with corporate sponsorships, extensive support teams, and top-of-the-line exoskeletal and internal augmentations pit themselves against the elements in a day-long race across the Sierra Nevada.

Marmeg Guinto doesn’t have funding, and she doesn’t have support. She cobbled her gear together from parts she found in rich people’s garbage and spent the money her mother wanted her to use for nursing school to enter the race. But the Minerva Challenge is the only chance she has at a better life for herself and her younger brothers, and she’s ready to risk it all.

Runtime is S. B. Divya's exciting science fiction debut.

“I really enjoyed this novella! I liked getting to know Marmeg and reading about her journey and the race. I liked the gender exploration and the new concepts of choosing to be gender neutral. The tech was also really cool. I enjoyed how Marmeg was able to get herself through her hardships and her quick thinking. I found the discussion about being natural vs modified very interesting but I wanted more from it. I was hoping for a bit more exploration on that front. Overall, I really enjoyed this and look forward to more from this author.”
