Ancillary Justice
Ann Leckie
Synopsis
Breq was once the intelligence of the warship Justice of Toren, linked to thousands of soldiers serving the Radch empire. Following a betrayal, that expansive existence has been reduced to a single human body, and a search for vengeance drives her forward. Ann Leckie's science-fiction novel makes the change from distributed consciousness to individual vulnerability part of a story about identity and imperial power. Ancillary Justice opens the Imperial Radch trilogy, followed by Ancillary Sword and Ancillary Mercy. Its original publication was in 2013; later translations and cover editions have their own dates.
