About “Gods War”

In a ruined and polluted world, a long-standing holy war continues, fought by a mix of mercenaries, magicians, and soldiers. The war's origins are unclear, but all agree it will not end. Nyx, a former government assassin, now works as a headhunter for money. When a failed deal between her government and an alien gene pirate goes wrong, Nyx is chosen to recover a crucial head. This head could end the war, but the cost may be too high. The world is about to learn the truth. This 2011 novel by Kameron Hurley explores the consequences of a brutal conflict and the moral choices of those caught in it.
