About the Book

For readers of John Scalzi and Martha Wells, Lift and Drag is the next entry in the thrilling western/space opera series featuring ex-marine Chevy Cole.

Blending the fireworks of a millitary thriller with a high-stakes sci-fi adventure, Lift and Drag, takes this critically acclaimed series to new heights, Chevy Cole is no stoic super soldier, but a flawed, deeply human heroine who draws from both her physical strength and moral integrity to save the day.

Chevy Cole has a problem. She’s been fired from the Launch Tech Marines, and her former employer has given her no choice but to join their all-inclusive retirement community. Behind the facade of Taco Tuesdays and a perfectly groomed golf course lies the truth: Launch Tech has captured and imprisoned Izan Luna, Chevy's former teammate and love interest.

Chevy can kick back her feet and enjoy early retirement, or find a way to outsmart Launch Tech and save Izan before it’s too late. Never one to overthink anything, she throws caution to the wind, enlisting Dolan, the “Ghost,” and their former nemesis, the Crane, with whom they now share a common enemy. Each with their own motivations, this could be the last journey they ever take.

Perrin Pring delivers another riveting quest, this time to the Moon, with her signature flair for action, humor, and a memorable cast of characters.

Raves and Reviews

Praise for Cash and Gravity

“Pring offers a postapocalyptic down-to-earth space opera, set in a world where megacorps act like governments, only more rapacious. The story centers on a found family of misfit operators and reads like Murderbot’s world set in Firefly’s universe, filled with the deep, deadly secrets of John Scalzi’s Old Man’s War….Readers will be on the edge of their seats for this wild ride.”
—Library Journal

 

“With furious and unrelenting action that takes place across a near-future American West and includes eccentric folks wary of the powers that be, the story builds to a crescendo of violence, twists, and betrayal that propels the story to a satisfying ending that promises future installments. Fans of James A. Corey’s The Expanse series will find a resemblance in both the physical stature and attitude of Corporal Cole to Bobbie Draper. This fast-paced debut includes plenty of action, snappy dialogue, and memorable characters and will appeal to readers of John Scalzi.”
—Booklist 

 

"This may not be the future we want, but it feels right, which is sort of terrifying, sort of exciting, and, in Perrin Pring's hands, nothing short of spectacular." 
—Stephen Graham Jones, New York Times bestselling author of The Only Good Indians 

 

“Cash and Gravity is in a category of its own—-a near-future Western that is as imaginative as it is grounded. In her debut, Perrin Pring ushers in one of the most badass main characters in recent memory. This is the work of a major new talent with a rare voice & style, whose prose is filled with realistic grit as well as well-crafted, cinematic violence. A thrill ride from start to finish.” 
—Ivy Pochoda, New York Times bestselling author of Sing Her Down

 

“WARNING: Sparks fly off these pages. Strap on your helmet and hold your breath! Cash and Gravity is a confident debut packed with excitement and ingenuity--Perrin Pring lands a haymaker.”
—Daniel Nieh, author of Take No Names
