PRAISE FOR THE SERIES

"Bad-ass doesn't even begin to describe it." -- Tommy Arnold"An incredible work about the tension between pacifism and necessary violence, between godhood and humanity, and between choice and destiny. The pacing is so quick and clean between chapters, the character work so distinct that I never questioned whose POV I was reading." -- Della Collins"In Sekhmet's Shadow is an ambitious, darkly introspective take on the post-superhero genre. Rhodes builds a vivid world of divine power, trauma, and moral ambiguity... Its blend of mythology, sci-fi, and psychological depth makes it a rewarding read for those who enjoy sprawling, character-driven epics." -- NetGalley review"Overall, this is a gritty, thoughtful sci-fi read with complex characters and a bold scope. Great if you enjoy speculative stories that challenge the typical superhero narrative." -- NetGalley review"I don't usually seek out books with superheroes and actively avoid movies with them, but this was well worth the read." -- NetGalley review"I wanted to read something different and I am so glad I happened to chance by this. A superhero story with an absolute punch!" -- NetGalley review"Absolutely fantastic and totally recommended. If you Sci-Fi with a sprinkle of politics, power grabs, complex relationships then this book is for you... Beautiful nuanced writing with depth." -- NetGalley review"The strength of the novel lies in its complex character dynamics and the effective use of multiple POVs... If you enjoy darker, character-driven epics that blend sci-fi action with superhero tropes, this is a solid, ambitious start to a series that I'm now invested in following." -- NetGalley review"In Sekhmet's Wake is a really interesting, highly ambitious sci-fi thriller that I recommend. With its hybrid of action, philosophical questions, and character work (not to mention, LGBT/robot relationships), Rhodes's novel stands as an ambitious story in these times when so many play it safe... The character work is excellent, the action is visceral, and the questions it asks about power are genuinely thought-provoking." -- BookShelfie
