Ancillary Justice: THE HUGO, NEBULA AND ARTHUR C. CLARKE AWARD WINNER: Imperial Radch, cartea 1
Autor Ann Leckieen Limba Engleză Paperback – oct 2013
Câștigătorul principalelor premii pentru science fiction în 2014 (Premiile Arthur C. Clarke, Nebula, Hugo Award), Ancillary Justice este primul roman dintr-o serie ce are în centru conștiința unei nave de război prinsă într-un trup uman și răzbunarea pe care aceasta o caută.
M-au făcut să ucid mii, dar acum am o singură țintă. Radch sunt niște cuceritori de temut - opune-te și vei fi transformat într-un soldat-cadavru - unul dintr-o armată de prizonieri controlați de către conștiința a unei nave de război.
Colosala navă de luptă numită The Justice of Toren a fost distrusă, dar un singur soldat controlat de conștiința navei a reușit să supraviețuiască dezastrului. Obișnuită să controleze mii de mâini și voci, The Justice are acum doar două mâini și o singură voce prin care își poate spune povestea.
Deși fragil, trupul-gazdă poate fi îndeajuns de puternic pentru o răzbunare împotriva inamicilor.

Descriere
The record-breaking debut novel that won every major science fiction award in 2014, Ancillary Justice is the story of a warship trapped in a human body and her search for revenge. Ann Leckie is the first author to win the Arthur C. Clarke, the Nebula and the Hugo Award for Best Novel in the same year.
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.

Recenzii
Signals the arrival of a hard science fiction author who just might fill the gap left by Iain M. Banks. Ancillary Justice is a highly original novel . . . an intelligent slow-burner. Highly recommended
You will be truly astounded at how Leckie has fully fleshed out a universe and is asking and attempting to answer the difficult questions that many authors never even address in science fiction
Unexpected, compelling and very cool - Ann Leckie nails it. I've never met a heroine like Breq before. I consider this a very good thing indeed
Total gamechanger. Get it, read it, wish to hell you'd written it. Ann Leckie's Ancillary Justice may well be the most important book Orbit have published in ages
Establishes Leckie as an heir to Banks and Cherryh
It's not every day a debut novel by an author you'd never heard of before derails your entire afternoon with its brilliance
Using the format of a SF military adventure blended with hints of space opera, Leckie explores the expanded meaning of human nature and the uneasy balance between individuality and membership in a group identity. Leckie is a newcomer to watch
Leckie's novel cast of characters serves her well-plotted story nicely. This is an altogether promising debut
Our #1 pick for the year's best science fiction or fantasy book . . . this Iain M. Banks-esque tale was the book that made us most excited about the future of science fiction in 2013
It engages, it excites, and it challenges the way the reader views our world. Leckie may be a former Secretary of the Science Fiction Writers of America, but she's the President of this year's crop of debut novelists. Ancillary Justice might be the best science fiction novel of this very young decade
The sort of book that the Clarke Award wishes it had last year ... be prepared to see Ancillary Justice bandied around a lot come awards season. (As it should be)
Leckie uses familiar set pieces-an expansionist galaxy-spanning empire, a protagonist on a single-minded quest for justice-to transcend space-opera conventions in innovative ways. This impressive debut succeeds in making Breq a protagonist readers will invest in, and establishes Leckie as a talent to watch closely
Leckie's debut gives casual and hardcore sci-fi fans alike a wonderful read
First rate, rollicking space-opera with plenty of action, intrigue and adventure ... a fabulous debut
A sharply written space opera . . . tackling ideas about politics and gender in a way that's both engaging and provacative . . . a gripping read that's well worth a look
