A Pale Light in the Black: A NeoG Novel - NeoG 1 (Hardback)

“Wagers kicks off the NeoG series with this fun, feel-good space opera. This effortlessly entertaining novel is sure to have readers coming back for the next installment.” — Publishers Weekly “If Wagers didn’t serve, they certainly got the skinny from somebody who lived it and it shows. They spin a captivating sea-story in space. As an ex-Coast Guardsman, I appreciate that what the crew lacks in gear, they make up for in heart. Semper Paratus.” — Nathan Lowell, creator of the Golden Age of the Solar Clipper "Wagers delivers a space adventure that's a found family story that's an interstellar conspiracy story that's... it just keeps going! Fierce, rollicking, kind, intimate and vast. If A Long Way to A Small, Angry Planet had more kickboxing matches and death-defying space rescues, this would be the book. Go Neo-G!" — Max Gladstone, author of Empress of Forever “Great characters and white knuckle tension. Recommended.” — Gareth L. Powell, author of Embers of War "Perfect for fans of Becky Chambers, A Pale Light in the Black is an energetic, unique military sci-fi with a found family heart." — Emily Skrutskie, author of Bonds of Brass "Wagers builds a complex and compelling mystery against a military sci-fi backdrop in a book full of diverse characters you're going to laugh and cry with. It all adds up to the sort of book that is impossible to put down and I never wanted to."  — Bryan Young, writer "Every character is someone readers will enjoy spending time with, and exploring the characters' relationships is the heart of the tale. […] Wagers' first book in the NeoG series is an unexpected and refreshing twist on military science fiction." — Library Journal
