About the Book

Breq and her crew must stand against an old and powerful enemy and fight for their own destinies in the stunning conclusion to the New York Times bestselling trilogy. A must read for fans of Ursula K. Le Guin and James S. A. Corey. For a moment, things seemed to be under control for Breq, the soldier who used to be a warship. Then a search of Athoek Station's slums turns up someone who shouldn't exist, and a messenger from the mysterious Presger empire arrives, as does Breq's enemy, the divided and quite possibly insane Anaander Mianaai -- ruler of an empire at war with itself. Breq refuses to flee with her ship and crew, because that would leave the people of Athoek in terrible danger. The odds aren't good, but that's never stopped her before."There are few who write science fiction like Ann Leckie can. There are few who ever could." -- John Scalzi

About the Author :
Ann Leckie is the author of the Hugo, Nebula, Arthur C. Clarke, and British Science Fiction Award-winning novel Ancillary Justice. She has worked as a waitress, a receptionist, a rodman on a land-surveying crew, and a recording engineer. She lives in St. Louis, Missouri. Adjoa Andoh is an Audie Award and Earphones Award-winning narrator and an actress of British film, television, stage, and radio. In 2022, she was awarded the AudioFile Golden Voice Award. She is known on the UK stage for lead roles at the RSC, the National Theatre, the Royal Court Theatre, and the Almeida Theatre, and she is a familiar face on British television. She made her Hollywood debut starring as Nelson Mandela's chief of staff, Brenda Mazikubo, alongside Morgan Freeman as Mandela in Clint Eastwood's Invictus.

Review :

"[Ancillary Mercy] earns the credit it's received: As a capstone to a series that shook genre expectations, as our closing installment of an immersively realized world, and as the poignant story of a ship that learned to sing."

-- "NPR"

"[There is] no science-fiction series as descriptive of our current political and cultural moment or as insistent that we open our eyes to it."

-- "Slate"

"A magnificent capstone to this promising trilogy."

-- "RT Book Reviews (41/2 stars)"

"Adjoa Andoh concludes the Imperial Radch space opera trilogy with an energetic and vivacious narration...Andoh's reading is superb. She provides a clear enunciation of narrative and an expressive and spritely delivery of dialogue. She's quite extraordinary with the alien words in the text. To fully appreciate the story, listeners should be familiar with the first two books."

-- "AudioFile" If you don't know the Ancillary series by now, you probably should. Ann Leckie's sociopolitical space opera almost singlehandedly breathed new cool into the stereotype of spaceships trundling through far-off systems amid laser battles. ... [Ancillary Mercy] earns the credit it's received: As a capstone to a series that shook genre expectations, as our closing installment of an immersively realized world, and as the poignant story of a ship that learned to sing.-- "NPR Books" Ancillary Justice is the mind-blowing space opera you've been needing...This is a novel that will thrill you like the page-turner it is, but stick with you for a long time afterward.-- "io9 (included in 'This Fall's Must-Read Science Fiction and Fantasy Books')" A sharply written space opera with a richly imagined sense of detail and place, this debut novel from Ann Leckie works as both an evocative science fiction tale and an involving character study...it's also a strongly female-driven piece, tackling ideas about politics and gender in a way that's both engaging and provocative...Ancillary Justice is a gripping read that's well worth a look.-- "SFX (UK) on Ancillary Justice" An ambitious space opera that proves that Justice was no fluke.... a book every serious reader of science fiction should pick up.-- "RT Book Reviews on Ancillary Sword" It engages, it excites, and it challenges the way the reader views our world. Leckie may be a former Secretary of the Science Fiction Writers of America, but she's the President of this year's crop of debut novelists. Ancillary Justice might be the best science fiction novel of this very young decade.-- "Justin Landon, Staffer's Book Review on Ancillary Justice" It's not every day a debut novel by an author you'd never heard of before derails your entire afternoon with its brilliance. But when my review copy of Ancillary Justice arrived, that's exactly what it did. In fact, it arrowed upward to reach a pretty high position on my list of best space opera novels ever.-- "Liz Bourke, Tor.com" Leckie proves she's no mere flash in the pan with this follow-up to her multiple-award-winning debut space opera, Ancillary Justice.-- "Kirkus on Ancillary Sword" Superb... Sword proves that [Leckie]'s not a one-hit wonder. I look forward to the rest of Breg's tale.-- "St. Louis Post-Dispatch on Ancillary Sword" The sort of book that the Clarke Award wishes it had last year ... be prepared to see Ancillary Justice bandied around a lot come awards season. (As it should be).-- "Jared Shurin, Pornokitsch" Total gamechanger. Get it, read it, wish to hell you'd written it. Ann Leckie's Ancillary Justice may well be the most important book Orbit has published in ages.-- "Paul Graham Raven on Ancillary Justice"
