Ancillary Sword
Breq is a soldier who used to be a warship. Once a weapon of conquest controlling thousands of minds, now she has only a single body and serves the emperor. Seeking atonement for past crimes, Breq takes on a mission as captain of a troublesome new crew of Radchai soldiers. With a new ship and a difficult crew to manage, Breq is ordered to go to the only place in the galaxy she would agree to go: to Athoek Station, to protect the family of a lieutenant she once knew—a lieutenant she murdered in cold blood. This novel continues Ann Leckie's Imperial Radch trilogy, following the New York Times bestselling, award-winning Ancillary Justice.
