Without Earth, Nel has nowhere to run.
Hot-tempered Dr. Nel Bently is not cut out to save the world. After her last project ended in fire and death, Nel must put aside her distrust of just about everyone and embark on a lo-fi search for a deadly radio transmission.
Earth's survivors are torn between the austere superpower of IDH and the high-tech grassroots Los Pobledores. At every turn more allies go missing and Nel questions where everyone's true loyalties lie--and on which side Lin will fall when a line is finally drawn.
They need experts. They need firepower. But it looks like the only thing standing between Earth and devastation is Nel: archaeologist, asshole, and functioning alcoholic with anger issues.
THE X-FILES meets LARA CROFT in this snarky sci-fi about where we came from, and where we're going.
Heretics is the fourth of six books in the Stars' Edge: Nel Bently Books.
This series contains descriptions of various queer relationships and intimacy. If this makes you uncomfortable, this is not the series for you.
