Publisher Review

There are few who write science fiction like Ann Leckie can. There are few who ever could. — John Scalzi Powerful. — THE NEW YORK TIMES on ANCILLARY SWORD The sort of space opera audiences have been waiting for. — NPR BOOKS on ANCILLARY SWORD No science-fiction series as descriptive of our current political and cultural moment or as insistent that we open our eyes to it. — SLATE on ANCILLARY MERCY A gripping read, with top-notch world building and a set of rich subtexts about human rights, colonialism — and (yes) hive mind sex. — IO9 on ANCILLARY SWORD
