Space Unicorn Blues, Angry Robot Books, July 2018
A crew of misfits race across the galaxy to prevent the genocide of magical creatures, in this unique science fiction debut. Half-unicorn Gary Cobalt is sick of slavery, captivity, and his horn being ground down to power faster-than-light travel. When he’s finally free, all he wants is to run away in his ancestors’ stoneship. Instead, Captain Jenny Perata steals the ship out from under him, so she can make an urgent delivery. But Jenny held him captive for a decade, and then Gary murdered her best friend…who was also the wife of her co-pilot, Cowboy Jim. What could possibly go right?

“Berry portrays the emotions powering bigotry with frightening accuracy in a novel that combines the best elements of mythological fantasy and space opera into a thrilling quest with deep shadows.” — Publisher’s Weekly
“Shut your brain off and go along for the wild ride that Berry provides.” — Swapna Krishna, LA Times

“Pure wish fulfilment. That is… assuming you wish to be a down-on-his-luck, half-unicorn space rogue, struggling to reclaim his starship and find his lost horn against an army of human oppressors who hold all the cards.” — G S Denning, author of the Warlock Holmes series
“It’s loads of fun but doesn’t shy away from difficult topics, and it does so excellently….another must read from Angry Robot Books.” — The Fantasy Inn
Five Unicorn Flush, Angry Robot Books, May 2019
“Right in the godsdamned feels.” — Kristen at http://superstardrifter.com
Reasonspace is in shambles after the disappearance of all magical creatures. Without faster-than-light travel, supply and communication routes have dried up, leaving humankind stranded and starving. Cowboy Jim and his complement of Reason soldiers search for the relocated Bala using the only surviving FTL drive. On their new utopian planet, the Bala are on the brink of civil war between those who want peace under old-fashioned unicorn rule and those who seek revenge on their human oppressors. Only Captain Jenny and her new brain parasite can stop the Reason plan to enslave the Bala again.
