A shattered moon. A secret plan. Last girl standing.

Orry and her family are the best conmen in the Quadrant, running elaborate heists to target the ruling families of the Ascendancy.

This time should be no different . . . but then Orry goes off-script and everything falls apart. Less than an hour later her mark is dead and she's on the run, accused of a murder she didn't commit.

Turns out, the pendant Orry stole is more valuable than even she guessed - and a lot of powerful people want it. When she's unexpectedly rescued by loner spaceship captain Jurgen Mender, Orry knows there's only one thing to do.

Even Orry can see the madness of pitting an inexperienced grifter, a space-dog well past his prime and an obsolete spaceship against the Imperial Fleet, the worst of the space pirates and the alien Kadiran, who are getting bored with their uneasy truce with humankind . . .

But what other choice does she have?

Reviews for Shattermoon (#1 Long Game)

I LOVED Shattermoon. It is a fast paced and exciting read that had me audibly gasping at parts and wincing in others . . . It is hard to believe that Shattermoon is Dominic Dulley's first novel as it completely swept me up * This Northern Girl * An exciting read with a capable and cool-headed protagonist * Blue Book Balloon * I was hooked by this space adventure . . . An action-packed space adventure, Dominic's debut is a blast! * Laura Patricia Rose * I was sucked into the book from pretty much the first page . . . Dulley has made an amazing universe and I can't wait to explore more of it as the series continues . . . This is an epic masterpiece. I can't recommend it highly enough! * Words of a Paige * The action never lets up, and I found myself racing towards the end to find out what was going on . . . Highly recommended for a fun space-opera read! * Bibliophile Book Club * A fun and fast-paced heist novel * I Should Read That * [A] fast paced read from start to finish, a total page turner, which I read almost in one go * Bookish Outsider * This book builds and builds with so much action that it kept me entertained to the very end * Dyslexic Reader * For those in need of a gallivant through space with a bunch of mismatched chancers, Shattermoon should be at the top of your list * SciFiNow * Imaginative world-building . . . a lively sci-fi romp * SFX * Dominic Dulley's Shattermoon is big screen space opera at its most entertaining. With a welcome hint of an updated Stainless Steel Rat, Orry Kent makes for an engaging and savvy protagonist. A very impressive debut novel! * Gavin Smith, author of The Bastard Legion * A riptide of excitement, it totally swept me away! * Daniel Godfrey, author of New Pompeii *
