A Fistful of Dust by A.G. Carpenter

5.0

A FISTFUL OF DUST is the gritty space western you've been waiting for.

Carpenter's prose snarls off the page, bringing to life Tashndelu Sand's rage at injustice and her iron will to see things set right. Impeccably paced, the driving narrative is broken by moments of calm and introspection, snapshots of quiet melancholy slipped between the echoes of gunfire rolling off distant hills.

Powerful and poignant, this violent tale of retribution and hard choices will resonate with fans of dark space operas and sparse western landscapes.
