Red Star Hustle

Drops October 21, 2025!

“Aran, an optimistic, high-class escort, is on the run after his famous filmmaker client is assassinated. With an ace security contractor (read: bounty hunter) trailing—who is also running from her own boss who happens to be both her mom and the head of one of the most powerful groups in the galaxy—Aran is running out of time. This science fiction thriller is a crisscross of heartbreak, addiction struggles, and trauma which comes together in a fast-paced space-hopping fight with the whole damn galaxy by Nebula Award–winning author Sam J. Miller.”

Published as part of the launch of Saga’s new “Doubles” line, an homage to old-school pulp paperbacks that would publish two short novels or novellas together, back to back. And my bookmate here is the brilliant APPREHENSION, by Mary Robinette Kowal – who isn’t just one of the best writers in the genre, she’s also just an all-around joy.

Preorder today, from Bookshop or Barnes & Noble or Amazon or your favorite local independent bookstore.
