Publisher Description

Star Trek meets Leverage in a space opera that's "refreshingly hopeful and heaps of fun" (author Megan E. O'Keefe).

 

Jasper Wilder is an activist, not a spy, but he'll become one if that's what it takes to stop Ravel Corporation from reviving the research project that devastated his home planet.

 

His plan is simple enough: Break into the secure facility. Steal the research data. Find a weakness and sabotage the project. But all that goes out the airlock when he meets Havoc, a passionate but politically naive labor organizer trying to reform Ravel from within.

 

Havoc could help Jasper, but instead, he's fighting for a lost cause. Jasper knows that if he sticks with his own plan, Havoc will likely take the blame—and Ravel doesn't treat activists kindly.

 

With an elite security operative closing in, and time running out to sabotage the deadly project before it launches, Jasper needs to find a way to team up with Havoc… before his mission hurts the person he's coming to care about.

 

Full of adventure and suspense, LGBTQ+ characters, found family, a sentient spaceship with anxiety issues, and hijinks galore, Warped State is sure to delight fans of Ann Leckie, Becky Chambers, and Martha Wells.

“Warped State is a space drama based around Jasper (Mason) as an activist/spy against an evil corporate sudo government with plans to profit from its biopharma products even if it poisons and kills the workers and inhabitance of the planet. Jasper finds a possible ally in Havoc, an alien worker for the company looking to organize and protect his teammates. It's not easy taking down a corporate division that is also basically the government, Havoc and Jasper run into several problematic situations, but in a bit of luck one of the corporation ships has become sentient and is trying to help. I am looking forward to the next books in the series, I like the ship IA subplot and Havoc and Jaspers budding relationship (the first book is all coy smiles and small touches, nothing explicit). If you enjoy space dramas and undermining exploitive corporations you might want to give this book a read. Please note, I received an ARC copy of this book for review from NetGalley, but that never influences my honest reviews of books or authors.”
