From international bestseller Samit Basu, The Jinn-
Bot of Shantiport is an exuberant new sci-fi adventure
with heart that reads like a mash-up
of “Aladdin” and Murderbot—with
gloriously chaotic results
Shantiport was
supposed to be a gateway to the stars. But the city is
sinking, and its colonist rulers aren’t helping anyone
but themselves.
Lina, a daughter of failed
revolutionaries, has no desire to escape Shantiport. She
loves her city and would do anything to save its people.
This is, in fact, the plan for her life, made before she was
even born.
Her brother, Bador, is a small monkey
bot with a big attitude and bigger ambitions. He wants a
chance to leave this dead-end planet and explore the
universe on his own terms. But that would mean abandoning
the family he loves—even if they do take him for
granted.
When Shantiport's resident tech
billionaire coerces Lina into retrieving a powerful artifact
rumored to be able to reshape reality, forces from before
their time begin coalescing around the siblings. And when
you throw in a piece of sentient, off-world tech with the
ability to grant three wishes into the mix… None of
the city's powers will know what hit them.
