Do you love the idea of a futuristic space heist? Hammajang Luck is a high paced action which appeals to fans of group heists and betrayal. It’s such a thrilling science fiction adventure! Keep reading this book review of Hammajang Luck for my full thoughts.
Summary
Edie is done with crime. Eight years behind bars changes a person – costs them too much time with too many of the people who need them most.
And it’s all Angel’s fault. She sold Edie out in what should have been the greatest moment of their lives. Instead, Edie was shipped off to the icy prison planet spinning far below the soaring skybridges and neon catacombs of Kepler space station – of home – to spend the best part of a decade alone.
But then a chance for early parole appears out of nowhere and Edie steps into the pallid sunlight to find none other than Angel waiting – and she has an offer.
One last job. One last deal. One last target. The trillionaire tech god they failed to bring down last time. There’s just one thing Edie needs to do – trust Angel again – which also happens to be the last thing Edie wants to do. What could possibly go all hammajang about this plan?
Review
(Disclaimer: I received this book from the publisher. This has not impacted my review which is unbiased and honest.)
I was so excited for Hammajang Luck. It was described to me as a combination of Oceans 8 and Bladerunner. And I gotta say the comparison is pretty spot on. Like Ocean 8 we have a group heist of a few characters who seem like an unlikely rag tag bunch. Much like Oceans 8, there’s a genuine sense of loyalty and friendship formed within. Similarly, the setting comes from the Bladerunner comparison. We have a futuristic society full of powerful corporations and technology.

And amongst all there’s a queer romance and second chance romances. Hammajang Luck explores the lies we tell to protect the ones we love in a high octane space heist. We are taught never to think about casualties, the innocents, or the mark. But what happens when we allow a bit of that empathy to creep in? And how do we make sure we’re never the one being betrayed? Hammajang Luck is about the people in our lives that matter and about taking a stand when enough is enough.
