The second instalment of the Bel Dame Apocrypha trilogy from Hugo-award winner Kameron Hurley
No matter where you go, the Bel Dames will find you
Nyx used to be an assassin, part of the sisterhood of the Bel Dames. Now she's babysitting diplomats to make ends meet and longs for the days when killing was a lot more honorable. So, when her former ‘sisters’ lead a coup against the government, she‘s the perfect choice to stop them.
In a rotten nation of giant bugs and renegade shape shifters, Nyx must forge unlikely allies and rekindle old acquaintances if she is to survive. Otherwise, this time, the bodies she leaves scattered across the continent may include her own...

Review:
"Infidel is a well thought-out and intelligent novel, which asks a number of questions and refuses to present easy answers." --SFF Chronicles
"Readers who enjoyed God's War will not be disappointed by Infidel... Infidel is a fast-paced book with a lot of action and smart character moments, mixed with cynical battlefield philosophy. I highly recommend it." - Strange Horizons Magazine
"Hurley's world-building, vivid and blissfully free of infodumps and expository lumps, was one of the great strengths of God's War, and it's a pleasure to return to the fascinating and messed-up world she created -- one especially enjoyable for its ethnically diverse cast and freewheeling remixes of traditional gender roles." --Tor.com
"Often, I find myself reading reviews for second novels before actually reading the first to learn about whether or not it's worth investing in an author. To everyone who reads this - Kameron Hurley is worth investing in... this is ground breaking work and should be recognized..." - Staffer's Musings
