Frontier

Earth, the distant future: climate change has reduced our verdant home into a hard-scrabble wasteland. Saints and sinners, lawmakers and sheriffs, travellers and gunslingers and horse thieves abound. People are as diverse and divided as they've ever been - except in their shared suspicions when a stranger comes to town.

One night a ship falls from the sky, bringing the planet's first visitor in three hundred years. She's armed, she's scared... and she's looking for someone.

Love, loss, and gunslinging in this dazzling debut novel by Grace Curtis. For fans of Sam J. Miller, Mary Robinette Kowal, and Becky Chambers, Frontier is a heartfelt queer romance in a high noon standoff with our planet's uncertian future, full of thrills, a love story, and laser guns.

Curtis oozes charm and humour in this pacey debut, which will be devoured by fans of Fallout and Firefly Tamsyn Muir, NYT bestselling author of The Locked Tomb series
A delightfully inventive sci-fi western.

Smart, bold and so much fun, this is a story both sweeping in its scope, and deeply personal in its stakes. I loved every step of this epic journey - I'm officially a member of the Grace Curtis fan club Amie Kaufman, New York Times bestselling author of llluminae
Be prepared to devour this book in one sitting! This story is full of action and adventure, but never forgets its heart as it unravels the mystery of who the Stranger is, what she wants, and how - perhaps - the fate of a much different, futuristic Earth that's fallen rests in her calloused hands. An absolute marvel to behold! Beth Revis, NY Times bestselling author of Across the Universe and Star Wars: The Princess and the Scoundrel
With dry wit and a gunslinger's level eye, Grace Curtis takes us to a New West strange, familiar, and delightful - downtrodden with a gleam of hope amid the tumbleweeds. A real treat Max Gladstone, Hugo- and Nebula-Award Winning Author

Grace Curtis is a freeroaming writer from Newcastle-Upon-Tyne. Her debut Frontier, a queer space western about climate change (really), came out in March last year. The follow up Floating Hotel was a bestseller in the UK. When she's not dreaming up stories, Grace can usually be found up a hill somewhere, climbing or hiking or lolling idly in the grass. Idolfire is her first work of fantasy. There will be more!
