Nominated for the Hugo Award for best novel 2018

Nominated for the Locus Award for best science fiction novel 2018

A power-driven young woman has just one chance to secure the status she craves and regain priceless lost artifacts prized by her people. She must free their thief from a prison planet from which no one has ever returned.

Ingray and her charge will return to her home world to find their planet in political turmoil, at the heart of an escalating interstellar conflict. Together, they must make a new plan to salvage Ingray's future, her family, and her world, before they are lost to her for good.

*Booktrack is an immersive format that pairs traditional audiobook narration to complementary music. The tempo and rhythm of the score are in perfect harmony with the action and characters throughout the audiobook. Gently playing in the background, the music never overpowers or distracts from the narration, so listeners can enjoy every minute. When you purchase this Booktrack edition, you receive the exact narration as the traditional audiobook available, with the addition of music throughout.

Critic reviews

"More intriguing cultures to explore, more characters to care about, more Leckie to love." (Kirkus)

"The trademarks of Leckie's talent are on display, with even more worlds for readers to discover and some teasing overlap with her previous series. But what makes this book is watching Ingray overcome her poor self-esteem and discover who she actually wants to be, demonstrating again the genre's capacity to tell compelling, human stories."(RT Book Reviews)

"A perfect follow-up to the trilogy." (The New York Times)

It’s shocking how little resemblance this story and characters are to the Imperial Radch universe! There were so many occasions whereby the characters and their actions were so shallow.

Maybe the author should stick to the style of writing first 3 novels. What was the point?

Story and characters was not interesting enough. Main character too easily became emotionally unstable at the slightest chance.

First of all, the audio in the background is horribly disruptive and does not match the narrative very well. Listen without it.

The story is very good and thought through, main characters are charismatic and deep, but I'd argue its not really science fiction. I was expecting proper nerdy Sci fi, but this narrative could as easily have been set in ancient Rome or anywhere in time.

I really liked the geck though, as a biologist I appreciate speciation and the geck had some fascinating stuff going on.

Performance per se was OK to good, but it was hard to work out sexes in the voice. This might be improved by lowering the male voices just a tiny bit more.

Overall, good story, good drama, good performance, but not really science fiction.

Not really a Sci-fi...

Background music is nice. Would prefer user controlled settings to adjust levels. Music volume should be left to the user.

Love the narration & story Ann Leckie weaves an alluringly fun sci fi story.

Background music….

The background track is m most distracting. the composition is juvenile. I want to return this version. There should be the way for silence.

Stop book track in background!!!!

Good story, writing, and performance. I thoroughly enjoyed the Ancillary trilogy and this seems to pick up right near or after it's end. though in a different location and different characters. The only problem is the constant and random music that detracts from the experience. The music is not produced around situations or character emotion, it is purely random and does not fit with any of the story. At times the music ramps up in random places and gets so prominent that it competes with the dialogue. Please do not add music to audiobooks. It is not needed, especially if it is random in regards to the story. Otherwise, I recommend this book!

Music is distracting. Please remove the music!

The muzak is distracting and inappropriate to the mood of a particular chapter.

Terrible Muzak.

Terrible background muzak
