About this ebook

Revenger is a rocket-fueled tale of space pirates, buried treasure, and phantom weapons, of unspeakable hazards and single-minded heroism. . . and of vengeance. . .

Adrana and Fura Ness are the newest crew members of the legendary Captain Rackamore's ship, using their mysterious powers as Bone Readers to find clues about their next score. But there might be more waiting for them in space than adventure and fortune: the fabled and feared Bosa Sennen, in particular.

The galaxy is filled with treasures. . . if you have the courage to find them.

Ratings and reviews

A very convincing account of a young woman going batshit insane. Fura is a good girl. loves her family, robot and books. But her sister is determined to drag her into adventure so off she goes! And the worst thing that could happen does happen. Dread Space Pirate Bosa Sennen attacks, kidnaps her sister and leaves Fura for dead. But she doesn't die. And she's going to get her sister back, and it doesn't matter how. Like, at all. All routes lead to victory, even the really villainous ones.

Just brilliant. Grounded, yet fantastic. Mysterious, but relatable. This is one of my new favorites, and always will be.

Definitely not the Reynolds I know. Young adult space pirate romp.
