Like A Boss

In the incendiary sequel to Windswept, two-fisted labor organizer Padma Mehta's worst nightmare comes true: she gets yanked out of early retirement. Up to her eyeballs in debt, Padma learns that her archenemy Evanrute Saarien has gotten out of prison and started a church with one doctrine: strike. The Union President comes to Padma with an offer she can't refuse: stop the strike, and her trillion-yuan debt will be forgiven. Will she succeed? Of course not. But she'll go down swinging... Newly reissued, this Author's Preferred Edition features essays, stories, and a second recipe for chicken tacos even better than the first. Praise for Like A Boss: "Like A Boss is one of those rare, perfect novels that somehow packs huge ideas into a story that is simultaneously wildly speculative and completely digestible. Like A Boss lives up to its name. A masterwork of big ideas, perfectly executed."– Ted Kosmatka, author of The Flicker Men "The moment I began reading this, I immediately had to put the book down. I was simply too sick with envy at Adam's talent." — Madeline Ashby, acclaimed author of vN and iD "Like A Boss is a laugh-in-your-face rejection of grimdark cynicism and cyberpunk dystopia. It's a flag-waving, singing-out-loud celebration of people doing the right thing even though it will be hard (and conscious of the cost to themselves), because they know it's the right thing to do, damn it. It's a celebration of hope and trust and community. I loved it." – X + 1 "It's gloriously entertaining SF. Better yet, it's positive, hopeful, idealistic SF." — One More "Near the climax of Like A Boss [Padma] delivers a little economic speech that makes as strong a case for unions that I've read this year." — The Seattle Review of Books
