The Minerva Sierra Challenge is a grueling spectacle, the cyborg's Tour de France. Rich thrill-seekers with corporate sponsorships, extensive support teams, and top-of-the-line exoskeletal and internal augmentations pit themselves against the elements in a day-long race across the Sierra Nevada. Marmeg Guinto doesn t have funding, and she doesn t have support. She cobbled her gear together from parts she found in rich people s garbage and spent the money her mother wanted her to use for nursing school to enter the race. But the Minerva Challenge is the only chance she has at a better life for herself and her younger brothers, and she s ready to risk it all. Runtime is S. B. Divya's exciting science fiction debut.

Reviews for Runtime

A thrilling romp through a gleaming cybernetic future that's neither dystopia nor utopia, but embedded in our reality-- I wish more science fiction were as exciting and relevant as Runtime. --Ken Liu, Hugo, Nebula, World Fantasy winner and author of THE GRACE OF KINGS</p> S. B. Divya is a new light on the science fiction scene, a writer with the promise and talent to become one of our genre's stars. Have a read; she's a wonderful storyteller. -- Catherine Asaro, Nebula Award winning author.</p> Debut author Divya packs a lot into this novella, leaving the reader wanting more from this complicated, provocative world --<i>Publishers Weekly</i></p> A world you want more of. --<i>RT</i> Book Reviews</p> This science fiction debut is a gripping, thoroughly entertaining, thought-provoking piece. --<i>Kirkus </i>Reviews</p> I would never have guessed I would love <i>Runtime</i> as much as I did, but this story about a young woman entering a cyborg race with the hope of bettering herself and achieving a more secure future for her family is a fantastic fast read. --<i>SF Bluestocking</i></p>
