Inventive and intelligent space opera for fans of Iain M. Banks - the story of a warship trapped in a human body, and her search for revenge.
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.
Untitled
The Justice of Toren was a starship, an AI that controlled thousands of ancillaries – human bodies wiped of all thought – until an act of betrayal has destroyed all but one body. Now that one survivor, Breq, fights to avenge what she has lost, even if it means the destruction of the entire emipre.
A stunning debut novel that won all four of the big sci-fi awards, this is not one to miss. - Matthew (QBD)
