New Release: THE VELA is out!

March 9, 2019 by slhuang

The first episode of the serial I’ve been writing with Yoon Ha Lee, Rivers Solomon, and Becky Chambers is now OUT! It’s called “A Leisurely Extinction” and you can read it here for free!

Subscribe to get the whole series as it comes out. You get both text and audio bundled for every episode — with the audio timed to be commute-length!

Not convinced? Here’s what people are saying:

“…nothing less than excellent, which is only to be expected from its writing team.” — Liz Bourke, Tor.com

“These authors are at the forefront of diverse, inclusive, fresh and imaginative scifi. They’re the best of the best in current science fiction…it’s gritty and real, and it will not cease to surprise you…it’s the book we’ve been waiting for for a long time now. Or rather, it’s the book women, queer people, disabled people and any allies have been waiting for for a loooooooong time” — Avalinah’s Books

“The best comparison I can think of is The Expanse meets Battlestar Galactica but 100% queerer.” — The Illustrated Page

“…fast-paced action, fundamentally irreconcilable political showdowns, and some highly entertaining twists” — Nerds of a Feather

“…this is a dream team of writers, and so far they are doing something really special with this story.” — Lady Business

“The novel’s climactic action scenes are breathtaking, and once the book enters its final stages, it’s almost impossible to put down. It’s an intoxicating mix of high-octane action and human emotion.” — Geek Dad

“OOF. Tear my heart into tiny pieces, why don’t you, The Vela writing team?” — Reading the End

COME TRY THE FIRST EPISODE FOR FREE!!
