What to expect

One last job could buy them their freedom - or cost them everything . . . Discover the high-octane space heist adventure from Makana Yamamoto - unmissable for fans of Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir and Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo.

HAMMAJANG | adjective. Definition: In a disorderly or chaotic state; messed up. Chiefly in predicative use, esp. in all hammajang. Etymology: A borrowing from Hawaiian Pidgin. Source: Oxford English Dictionary.

Edie is done with crime. Eight years behind bars changes a person - costs them too much time with too many of the people who need them most.

And it's all Angel's fault. She sold Edie out in what should have been the greatest moment of their lives. Instead, Edie was shipped off to the icy prison planet spinning far below the soaring skybridges and neon catacombs of Kepler space station - of home - to spend the best part of a decade alone.

But then a chance for early parole appears out of nowhere and Edie steps into the pallid sunlight to find none other than Angel waiting - and she has an offer.

One last job. One last deal. One last target. The trillionaire tech god they failed to bring down last time. There's just one thing Edie needs to do - trust Angel again - which also happens to be the last thing Edie wants to do. What could possibly go all hammajang about this plan?

Ocean's 8 meets Blade Runner in this trail-blazing debut science fiction novel and swashbuckling love letter to Hawai'i about being forced to find a new home and striving to build a better one.

'A high-throttle space heist - but make it gay? Sign. Me. Up.' - S.A. MacLean, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Phoenix Keeper

'Swashbuckling and heart-warming in equal measure' - Lavanya Lakshminarayan, Arthur C. Clarke Award-nominated author of The Ten Percent Thief

Critics Review

Hammajang Luck has more to say than Ocean's 8, the setting is more thoughtful and relevant than Blade Runner, and you still get the heist you came looking for! Seriously. What more could you ask for? It's an easy, fun read, which will make a lot of readers smile for all kinds of reasons. Recommended!
Lightspeed Magazine
Fans of Ocean's Eight and Leverage will find this a delightful ode to team heists. The enemies-to-lovers trope, queer characters, and Hawaiian culture and language create a unique backdrop for a familiar plot line
Library Journal
This is a blast

A splendid addition to the genre
