Overview
"Star Trek meets Leverage in Warped State, a space opera that's ""refreshingly hopeful and heaps of fun"" (Megan E. O'Keefe). Jasper Wilder is an activist, not a spy, but he'll become one if that's what it takes to stop Ravel Corporation from reviving the research project that devastated his home planet. His plan is simple enough: break into the secure facility. Steal the research data. Find a weakness and sabotage the project. But all that goes out the airlock when he meets Havoc, a clever, passionate, but politically naive worker trying to reform Ravel from within. Havoc could help Jasper. Instead, he's fighting for a lost cause. Ravel doesn't treat activists kindly, and Jasper knows if he sticks with his plan, Havoc will take the blame. With an elite security operative closing in, and time running out to sabotage the deadly project before it launches, Jasper needs to find a way to team up with Havoc-before his mission hurts the person he's coming to care about. Full of adventure and suspense, queer characters, found family, a sweetly anxious sentient spaceship, and hijinks galore, Warped State is sure to delight fans of Ann Leckie, Becky Chambers, and Martha Wells."

"""Jo Miles' Warped State is delightful in every way-smart, emotional, funny, inspiring, and brilliantly written, crossing a high-stakes, dynamic plot with deft character development and a lot of heart. You'll absolutely fall in love with Jasper and Havoc, cheering the whole way. I loved it."" - Karen Osborne, author of Architects of Memory ""In Warped State, Jo Miles gives a masterclass on how to accomplish social change, disguised as a rollicking spy story with a wonderful romance woven in. The costs of justice, found family, and how the real heroes are those doing the often-unheralded work on the ground ride side-by-side with breathless action and thoughtful exploration of just what makes one's team, anyway. A terrific ride."" - John Appel, author of Assassin's Orbit"
