I don't normally recommend a book before I've finished reading it, but I'm a couple of chapters into 'Some Desperate Glory' and its a good read.

I picked it up on Kobo as a 99p special offer  - I often flick through these, they're a mixed bag. Some turkeys, but some really great books by authors whom I might not otherwise have tried.

So if you want to take  a punt while it's still on offer, go for it now (you can read novels from Kobo on any platform as they are DRM free).

Or, you can wait for the full review.

But I suspect it may be worth it even at full price.

Can't tell you that much about the story yet - Earth has been destroyed by the majo.  The majo appear to be a confederation of many alien races.

The surviving humans live on Gaiea, a fairly hostile planetoid and live by attacking majo shipping.  Their lives are focused on survival and revenge.  Kia, the protagonist is fixated on combat training. She has 'warbreed' genes, as does her brother, and is big, strong and desperate for revenge for an even that happened before she was born.  She tends to look down on those around her and is a total believer in the system.

But she's about to get a nasty surprise - her genes may be worth more to her society than her combat skills...
