Wagers, K B
Entry updated 12 September 2022. Tagged: Author.
(? - ) US author whose Indranan War sequence comprising Behind the Throne (2016) and After the Crown (2016) is a Space Opera set at the heart of a beleaguered Galactic Empire run on matriarchal lines (see Feminism). Their protagonist, a princess who suddenly succeeds to the vastly powerful throne, finds herself enmired in complex intrigues. In Wagers's second series, the Farian War sequence beginning with There Before the Chaos (2018), the new empress finds herself increasingly a player in galactic power games. A third series, the NeoG sequence beginning with A Pale Light in the Black (2020), is Military SF set in the distant Near Future, centuries after a Holocaust that has come near to ending civilization on Earth, with internal and external conflicts increasingly sabotaging the Near Earth Orbital Guard that patrols near space.
