- Event lasts 1 hour
The QT Library's Sapphic Sci-Fi & Fantasy Book Club is gathering on Wednesday, September 10, 2025 from 7 - 8 PM ET via Zoom to discuss Junker Seven by Olive J. Kelley.
Book description: A romantic, queer sci-fi epic about changing the galaxy, one girl at a time.
Castor Quasar is a junker— a bounty hunter making a living off of collecting and selling valuable scrap. They live a quiet life, bouncing from job to job and not worrying about the brewing galactic rebellion.
Except, when they get a job offer for an irresistible amount of money, they find themself embroiled much deeper than expected. Their task? To smuggle transgender activist Juno Marcus across the galaxy under the watchful eye of the Intergalactic Police Force and a propaganda-informed galaxy.
It’s too dangerous to accept, but too valuable to refuse, and it doesn't help that Juno herself is charming and beautiful. Agreeing drags Cas into a whirlwind race against those who want Juno dead to make it across the galaxy to safety, risking it all for a cause they can’t– or won’t– believe in.
