Jinn-Bot Of Shantiport

From international bestseller Samit Basu, 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.

Forces from before their time and above their power level are coalescing around the siblings. And when you throw in a wish-granting piece of sentient, off-world tech with the ability to reshape reality into the mix... Neither the ruling Tiger Clan nor the city's resident tech billionaire is going to know what hit them.
