The only novel ever to win the Hugo, Nebula, and Arthur C. Clarke awards and the first audiobook in Ann Leckie's New York Times best-selling trilogy.

On a remote, icy planet, the soldier known as Breq is drawing closer to completing her quest.

Once, she was the Justice of Toren - a colossal starship with an artificial intelligence linking thousands of soldiers in the service of the Radch, the empire that conquered the galaxy.

Now, an act of treachery has ripped it all away, leaving her with one fragile human body, unanswered questions, and a burning desire for vengeance.

Featured Article: 12 of the Best Sci-Fi Series in Audio


From the furthest reaches of space to the microbiology of pandemics and gene manipulation, to the future implications of technology for societies similar to our own, science fiction is a fascinating genre that offers listeners a wide variety of ways to access its themes. In looking for the best sci-fi audiobook series, it can be difficult to know where to start due to the genre's sheer number of iterations and variations. But what these series have in common is an acute devotion to telling a good story, as well as fully building out the worlds therein. The writing is enhanced by the creative and impassioned narration.

So many awards, I was stoked! But, unfortunately for me, this was one of those books that I just kept waiting and waiting for it to pick up and get better, but it never did. My mind kept wandering and I kept thinking, Do I even care? Super-bummed.

It was okay

Great story. The performance definitely took the story to new heights. The breadth of tone that Adjoa Andoh portrayed was significant and pulled me much deeper into the story.

What a performance!

Great news sci-fi.

Fabulous narration, amazing story. I didn't like it at first but it turns out that you're not supposed to like it. It's describing an opening scenario that is upsetting to basically everybody, all made your characters in you included.

once I got into it I understood why the beginning was like it was and the story is incredible and innovative and thought-provoking. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Amazing story and performance

It took me a long time to get into this one. The beginning is plodding and a little disorienting, but once the storylines merged it got much more enjoyable. I can see why this series has garnered so many awards.

In the end all was ok

I purchased this expecting a bit of a space-romp action flick. Instead it's a deep social commentary on politics and empires.

I have never heard a narrator perform so many accents and distinct voices, if there were 6 stars I'd give that.

The story was a bit confusing for me to listen to, due to the continual use of same-gender pronouns for almost everyone.

Political and slow

I listen to a ton of sci-fi and fantasy. For some reason this just didn’t click for me. The atmosphere, for lack of a better word, was too bleak. I don’t mean the story line, because I can do bleak stories, it just felt flat. But I know those who love this series. To each their own.

Didn’t do it for me

I started to write “science fiction” above but realized in many ways what’s presented in Ancillary Justice is closer to speculative than science.

The production of the audio book was phenomenal. Narrator did an excellent job.

Story was beyond phenomenal I think. One of the greatest explorations of what it means to be alive I’ve ever read. Not sure “alive” Is the correct word but can’t think of a better.

Excellent Speculative Fiction
