Description
The Iron Widow (Book 1) by Xiran Jay Zhao is a gripping blend of Chinese history and mecha science fiction that explores a world where girls pilot giant transforming robots to battle aliens. In this intense story, an 18-year-old girl named Zetian offers herself up as a concubine-pilot to assassinate the male pilot responsible for her sister's death, but discovers she has a unique ability to power up the Chrysalises instead. Zetian is paired with Li Shimin, a strong and feared male pilot who is ostracized by society. As Zetian gains power, she will not be silenced and sets out to force change in her world. This paperback edition features bonus content, including eight pages of concept art and a discussion guide. With its unique blend of science fiction and Chinese history, The Iron Widow is a compelling read for fans of Pacific Rim and The Handmaid's Tale.
