Barbarella #6: The Architect of her Destiny

Barbarella (2021) #6

by Sarah A. Hoyt, Madibek Musabekov (Artist)

She is known only as “the Lady.” Her identity, her origins, even her rise to power, are shrouded in utter mystery. And make no mistake, that’s purely intentional. That she rules increasingly larger portions of the galaxy with an iron grip and a wave of fear is not remotely in question. Why she wants to wipe out every human is. And why Barbarella is targeted to be the first and most important human to die is the deadliest question of all!

About the author

Sarah A. Hoyt was born (and raised) in Portugal and now lives in Colorado with her husband, two sons, and a variable number of cats, depending on how many show up to beg on the door step.

In between lays the sort of resume that used to be de-rigueur for writers. She has never actually wrestled alligators, but she did at one point very briefly tie bows on bags of potpourri for a living. She has also washed dishes and ironed clothes for a living. Worst of all she was, for a long time, a multilingual scientific translator.

At some point, though, she got tired of making an honest living and started writing. She has over 30 published novels, in science fiction, fantasy, mystery, historical mystery, historical fantasy and historical biography. Her short stories have been published in Analog, Asimov's, Amazing Stories, Weird Tales, and a number of anthologies from DAW and Baen. Her space-opera novel Darkship Thieves was the 2011 Prometheus Award Winner, and the third novel in the series, A Few Good Men, was a finalist for the honor. She also won the Dragon Award for Uncharted (with Kevin J. Anderson.)

Reviews

[Clay Bartel · Rating 5 out of 5]

I have been eyeing this series on the shelf at my local comic shop for many months and I only hesitated because the only issues they had were 4 to 8.

I wanted to start the series at issue #1 but finally decided to just go ahead and buy #4-#8.

I always new the art was top notch from flipping through the books but am really pleasantly suprised that the story is really exceptional too.

Barbarella is drawn and written very sexy but the books also have a lot of heart and Barbarella is a character focused on love.

If your into sci fi style sexy adventure books with some heart I recommend you check out Barbarella.
