Sparks fly when Ada and Rian just-so-happen to find themselves at the same charity gala—but there’s something rotten behind the sparkling gowns and dazzling wealth on display
This heist turned rom-com from New York Times bestselling author Beth Revis is perfect for fans of sexy, romantic science fiction and readers of Martha Wells and Becky Chambers

Ada had no intention whatsoever to continue working for the rebel group that hired her to retrieve the government’s plans for a nanobot climate cleaner if they weren’t willing to pay her for it, but then they offer a different perk: an undercover mission to a charity gala where Rian will be in attendance. Rian, meanwhile, has volunteered his services for the gala believing that the rare items up for auction will attract Ada’s eye. Hoping to catch her in the act and pin her with a punishable crime, Rian has no idea Ada’s really after.
In a high-stakes game of theft and deception, Ada plays to win...and Rian will do anything to stop her.
How to Steal a Galaxy continues the sexy, rip-roaring good time that Beth Revis began in Full Speed to a Crash Landing, with the return of Ada, Rian, and all the tension, twists, and turns that made the first novella so much fun. "Revis makes the anticipation delicious." —Publishers Weekly

      Picking up where Full Speed to a Crash Landing left off, this rollicking second installment of Revis’s intergalactic trilogy will keep readers glued to the page. Space looter Ada Lamarr infiltrates a Met Gala–esque fundraising event on a secret mission assigned to her by a mysterious rebel group—while also pursuing a hidden agenda of her own. There to intercept her is handsome bureaucrat Rian White, who readers will be delighted to see return. As before, Ada and Rian disagree over effective methods of enacting change while Rian works to stop Ada from putting into motion her secret plot, the details of which remain hidden from both Rian and the reader for much of the novel. The result is an un-put-downable page-turner helmed by a lovable heroine who is clever and passionate beneath her armor of sarcastic quips. Readers will need to come back for the concluding volume to fully understand all of Ada’s behind-the-scenes machinations—and to witness the culmination of Ada and Rian’s roller-coaster, cat-and-mouse romance. Revis makes the anticipation delicious. Agent: Merrilee Heifetz, Writers House.

      The middle volume of Revis' Chaotic Orbits novella trilogy that began with Full Speed to a Crash Landing (2024) finds charismatic thief Ada Lamarr ready for another job after successfully pilfering valuable intel from government agent Rian White. Ada's mission sends her to Rigel-Earth, a colonized planet for the wealthy who could afford to escape the deteriorating conditions on Earth caused by climate catastrophes and radiation. Her target is trillionaire and supposed philanthropist Strom Feter, and his protection is none other than the handsome and capable Rian White. Told from a jaunty, first-person point of view, How to Steal a Galaxy will have readers feeling like accomplices as Ada shares her insights, tricks, flirtations, and deceptions throughout the story. This fast-paced, character-centered space opera is at once light hearted and serious; Ada's charm and carefree manner collide with the heaviness of topics like corporate greed, terrorism, and climate catastrophe to create an exciting and compelling narrative.
