Ann Leckie is the first author to win the Arthur C. Clarke, the Nebula and the Hugo Award for Best Novel in the same year.They made me kill thousands, but I only have one target now.The Radch are conquerors to be feared - resist and they'll turn you into a 'corpse soldier' - one of an army of dead prisoners animated by a warship's AI mind. Whole planets are conquered by their own people. The colossal warship called The Justice of Toren has been destroyed - but one ship-possessed soldier has escaped the devastation. Used to controlling thousands of hands, thousands of mouths, The Justice now has only two hands, and one mouth with which to tell her tale. But one fragile, human body might just be enough to take revenge against those who destroyed her.'ENGAGING AND PROVOCATIVE' SFX Magazine'UNEXPECTED, COMPELLING AND VERY COOL'John Scalzi'HIGHLY RECOMMENDED'Independent on Sunday'MIND-BLOWING'io9.com'THRILLING, MOVING AND AWE-INSPIRING'Guardian'UTTER PERFECTION, 10/10'The Book Smugglers'ASTOUNDINGLY ASSURED AND GRACEFUL'Strange Horizons'ESTABLISHES LECKIE AS AN HEIR TO BANKS'Elizabeth BearThe Imperial Radch trilogy begins with Ancillary Justice, continues in Ancillary Sword and concludes with Ancillary Mercy.

'ES IST EIN REINES VERGNÜGEN, ETWAS SO ANDERES, SO WUNDERBARES ZU LESEN.' Patrick RothfussSeit Jahrhunderten wird das Königreich Iraden von einem Gott beschützt: Er heißt 'Der Rabe' und residiert in einem Turm in der mächtigen Hafenstadt Vastai. Von dort wacht er über das Reich. Seinen göttlichen Willen lässt er seinem menschlichen Statthalter durch einen Rabenvogel mitteilen. Aber nun ist der Vogel des Rabengottes tot. Und die göttliche Regel schreibt vor, dass auch der Statthalter unverzüglich sterben muss, um Platz für seinen Nachfolger zu machen ...

Das große Finale der atemberaubenden Bestseller-TrilogieDas Imperium der Radchaai hat sich über die gesamte Galaxis ausgebreitet. Nun droht es allerdings in einem blutigen Bürgerkrieg zu zerbrechen, hat sich doch die auf viele Körper verteilte Person des Imperators in feindliche Fraktionen aufgespalten. Allein die ehemalige Maschinenintelligenz Breq kann den Krieg noch aufhalten - aber sie sitzt in einer abgelegenen Raumstation fest. Der Untergang des Imperiums scheint unvermeidbar ...

Was wird aus den Menschen, wenn die Maschinen frei sein wollen?Breq ist eine Kämpferin, die auf einem einsamen Planeten auf Rache sinnt. Hinter ihrer verletzlichen, menschlichen Fassade verbirgt sich mehr, als es zunächst den Anschein hat: Sie wurde von den Radch geschaffen, die nach und nach das gesamte Universum unterworfen haben. Breq ist nur dem Äußeren nach eine Frau, vor allem aber ist sie ist eine perfekt konstruierte Maschine, abgerichtet zum Erobern und Töten. Nun aber beschließt sie das Unmögliche: Ganz allein will sie es mit Anaander Mianaai aufnehmen, dem unbesiegbaren Herrscher der Radch. Denn Breq will endlich frei sein.
