NOW A LOCUS AWARD FINALIST
"A classic space opera...a universe we've never seen before." --Delilah S. Dawson, New York Times bestselling author From Hugo Award finalist Max Gladstone comes a smart, swashbuckling, wildly imaginative adventure; the saga of a rag-tag team of brilliant misfits, dangerous renegades, and enhanced outlaws in a war-torn future. A wildly successful innovator to rival Steve Jobs or Elon Musk, Vivian Liao is prone to radical thinking, quick decision-making, and reckless action. On the eve of her greatest achievement, she tries to outrun people who are trying to steal her success. In the chilly darkness of a Boston server farm, Viv sets her ultimate plan into motion. A terrifying instant later, Vivian Liao is catapulted through space and time to a far future where she confronts a destiny stranger and more deadly than she could ever imagine. The end of time is ruled by an ancient, powerful Empress who blesses or blasts entire planets with a single thought. Rebellion is literally impossible to consider--until Vivian Liao arrives. Trapped between the Pride--a ravening horde of sentient machines--and a fanatical sect of warrior monks who call themselves the Mirrorfaith, Viv must rally a strange group of allies to confront the Empress and find a way back to the world and life she left behind. A magnificent work of vivid imagination and universe-spanning action, Empress of Forever is a feminist Guardians of the Galaxy crossed with Star Wars and spiced with the sensibility and spirit of Iain M. Banks and William Gibson. "Empress of Forever is tense and vast, complex and twisty, a space opera epic that's a lot faster on the draw than Star Wars or Star Trek ever dreamed of being. But at its core, it's an epic about the value of empathy and the importance of compassion. It's amazingly good."--Locus "With Empress of Forever, Max Gladstone's remarkable talent is operating at full stretch, demonstrating the strength, power, and originality at his command. This unique and propulsive novel yields a deep, cellular-level enchantment filled at every turn with curiosity and delight."--Peter Straub "Empress of Forever is a story that will make you weep with wonder. The whole book is filled with the kind of snark that I love and an endless majesty of stars. It broke me to pieces and then stitched me back together with golden thread. Simply glorious."--K.B. Wagers, author of Behind the Throne "Galaxy-saving space opera with cool original settings and a unique band of adventurers that change each other for the better. It was a wild ride and I really enjoyed it."--Martha Wells, Hugo Award-winning author of The Murderbot Diaries "Incorporates wonder and wit to create a feminist, humanist playground. Introduces one mind-blowing concept after another, capitalizing on the concept of personal power while candidly addressing personal failure. This feast for the imagination intelligently captures the complexities of a variety of relationships in an adrenaline-fueled series of escapades and will leave readers both exhausted and elated."--Publishers Weekly, starred review "A fantastic tale of adventure on the grandest scale of epic space opera, spanning galaxies full of battles and traps as well as trade and negotiation, all told with humor as the crew seeks allies, weapons, and ships to fight back against The Empress to save the galaxy--and so Viv can find her way home."--Booklist, starred review "Vivian is an amazing woman: with no more than her sharp wit in a universe of AIs and enhanced beings, she still ends up being the key to the truth. Gladstone's epic space opera and fast-paced adventure will thrill readers."--Library Journal, starred reviewBinding Type: Paperback

Good quality, good price.
Review of RECOIL ZAFH2-200 2 Pack in-line ANL Fuse-Holders
I recently purchased the RECOIL ZAFH2-200 2 Pack in-line ANL Fuse-Holders, and I must say, I am thoroughly impressed with the quality and performance for such an affordable price. At just $12 for two holders, it’s hard to argue against their value.
First off, the build quality is commendable. The materials used feel robust and sturdy, which gives me confidence that they will withstand the demands of my automotive and audio setup. The versatility of being able to accommodate 0, 2, and 4 gauge inputs and outputs, enhanced with reducers, makes these fuse holders suitable for a variety of installations.
Installation was straightforward, and the holders fit snugly with no issues. The included 200A ANL fuses are a definite bonus, offering adequate protection for my system. Knowing that I have two holders on hand allows me to set up multiple devices or systems without needing to rush back to the store for more.
What impressed me most, however, is the performance. I’ve tested these fuse holders with a range of power demands, and they have held up beautifully, showing no signs of overheating or performance loss. The current flow remains consistent, and I appreciate the peace of mind that comes with reliable fuse protection.
After positive experiences with my first purchase, I’ve already taken the liberty to buy more of these holders. I highly recommend the RECOIL ZAFH2-200 for anyone looking for budget-friendly yet reliable fuse-holding solutions. They offer excellent value for money, and you can’t beat the convenience of having a dual pack.
Overall, if you’re in the market for ANL fuse holders, give these a try—you won’t be disappointed!

Good bang for your buck, great quality.
Works great. Most of it is metal and works as a heat sink. Came with two fuses and the adapters for smaller or larger Guage wires. Fit very well and easily for our choice of installation and was a great price.

Good for under the hood
Pretty good heavy duty block. It's got the rubber grommets for the smaller wire if needed.
