The first time I arrived at Kiri's house, on rounding the corner, I heard a series of high-pitched cackles - full of mirth and joy. They suggested that the owner of the voice was a happy person. As I was to getting to know Kiri better, and as we poured over Kiri's writing - which was also pouring over her life - I could see that Kiri is filled with joy. I stayed at Kiri's house whilst we worked and always enjoyed my time there. When I came in that first time, she said, Make this your home, and she meant it.I was taken in by her large family, which at times seemed like a small nation, and made to feel part of that family. Across the ditch in New Zealand, it was the same, with great hospitality.I had met Kiri several times before putting the book together and could not say I knew her, but through this book, Kiri and I became friends. How could we not? Kiri is Kiri - unique, intelligent, and funny - always funny. We spent many days together, where, in fits and starts, the book emerged.

The Expanse meets Game of Thrones in J. S. Dewes's fast-paced, sci-fi adventure The Last Watch, where a handful of soldiers stand between humanity and annihilation. The Divide. It’s the edge of the universe. Now it’s collapsing—and taking everyone and everything with it. The only ones who can stop it are the Sentinels—the recruits, exiles, and court-martialed dregs of the military. At the Divide, Adequin Rake commands the Argus. She has no resources, no comms—nothing, except for the soldiers that no one wanted. Her ace in the hole could be Cavalon Mercer--genius, asshole, and exiled prince who nuked his grandfather's genetic facility for “reasons.” She knows they’re humanity's last chance.
