Buckle up your seatbelt for Victories Greater Than Death, a thrilling YA sci-fi adventure set against an intergalactic war from internationally bestselling author Charlie Jane Anders.


This program includes a bonus interview with the author.

Outsmart Your Enemies. Outrun the Galaxy.

“Just please, remember what I told you. Run. Don't stop running for anything.”


Tina never worries about being 'ordinary'--she doesn't have to, since she's known practically forever that she's not just Tina Mains, average teenager and beloved daughter. She's also the keeper of an interplanetary rescue beacon, and one day soon, it's going to activate, and then her dreams of saving all the worlds and adventuring among the stars will finally be possible. Tina's legacy, after all, is intergalactic--she is the hidden clone of a famed alien hero, left on Earth disguised as a human to give the universe another chance to defeat a terrible evil.

But when the beacon activates, it turns out that Tina's destiny isn't quite what she expected. Things are far more dangerous than she ever assumed--and everyone in the galaxy is expecting her to actually be the brilliant tactician and legendary savior Captain Thaoh Argentian, but Tina....is just Tina. And the Royal Fleet is losing the war, badly--the starship that found her is on the run and they barely manage to escape Earth with the planet still intact.

Luckily, Tina is surrounded by a crew she can trust, and her best friend Rachel, and she is still determined to save all the worlds. But first she'll have to save herself.

Kirkus Reviews

2021-02-05
A teenage girl and her trustworthy crew must save the galaxy in this space opera adventure.

A clone of a legendary galactic hero, Tina has always known that one day, the rescue beacon inside her chest would go off, triggering one group of aliens to claim her as their own and another to start to hunt her down and kill her. Bored with life on Earth, Tina wants to leave more than anything. But when her beacon finally ignites, the stakes of her existence suddenly become very real. Though she and her best friend, Rachael, are taken from Earth by the Royal Fleet, a rival alien organization known as the Compassion is set on killing Tina and wreaking havoc across the universe. Having not exactly lived up to being an exact copy of Capt. Thaoh Argentian, the woman she was cloned from, Tina must forge her own path toward greatness and intergalactic peace. Fortunately, she has a talented crew to assist in her mission—an ensemble diverse in race, gender, and species. Tina’s human guise appears White; her natural skin color is purple. Heartfelt themes of acceptance and self-discovery weave through a breakneck plot and intriguing worldbuilding. However, the large cast leaves some characters feeling two-dimensional, and some dialogue and plot points seem far-fetched despite the speculative genre.

Grand, intriguing ideas built on a somewhat shaky foundation. (glossary) (Science fiction. 14-18)
