ANCILLARY SWORD (Imperial Radch 2)
The hotly anticipated sequel to the science fiction debut that everybody's talking about. ANCILLARY JUSTICE was widely compared to Iain M. Banks and Ursula Le Guin, was the winner of the Arthur C. Clarke Award, the Nebula Award, and the Hugo Award, making Ann Leckie the first science fiction and fantasy author ever to sweep the three major prizes in the same year. In addition, Ann is the recipient of a James Tiptree Honour and the Kitschies' Golden Tentacle, and was shortlisted for the Philip K. Dick Award.
Breq - the soldier who used to be a spaceship - is serving the emperor she swore to destroy. She's been given her own warship, her own crew and ordered to the only place in the galaxy she would have agreed to go: to Athoek Station, to protect the family of the lieutenant she murdered in cold blood.
Athoek was annexed by the Empire some six hundred years ago, and by now everyone is fully 'civilised'. Or should be - but everything is not as tranquil as it appears. Old divisions are still troublesome, Athoek Station's AI is restless and it looks like the alien Presger might have taken an interest in what's going on. With no guarantees that their interest is benevolent.
Ann Leckie has worked as a waitress, a receptionist, a rodman on a land-surveying crew, a lunch lady, and a recording engineer. She is the author of many published short stories, and former secretary of the Science Fiction Writers of America.
