San Diego, CA. October 23, 2018—Heliosphere Books, the science fiction and fantasy imprint of Endpapers Press, is pleased to announce that it has signed a three-book deal with Kaitlyn R. Andersen for her Reliance trilogy.
Finn No Last Name lives her life exactly the way she likes. Sure, she lives on a Mud Pit with the some of the worst criminals and cast-offs the Reliance has to offer, but she is the ward of one of the most revered middle-men in the Farthers, and has a knack for stealing things that has earned her a reputation as the best thief the outer rings has to offer. Unfortunately for Finn, her life gets turned on its head when she tries to steal from an upper-caste courtesan and winds up stuck in space on a merchant ship. This ship happens to be run by a strange, eclectic crew but Finn soon learns that there is more to the offbeat group than meets the eye, and becomes embroiled in a mission to uncover the Reliance’s darkest secret . . .
Fans of Firefly, The Expanse, and Killjoys will find what they are looking for in this book. It has notes of romance, action, humor, and heart—everything you want in your space opera.
