A station caught between rival powers

The concluding volume of Ann Leckie’s trilogy brings Breq’s struggle to Athoek Station, where a discovery in the slums coincides with the arrival of a Presger messenger and the return of Anaander Mianaai, whose empire is divided by war. Breq chooses to remain with her ship and crew rather than leave the station’s people in danger. The setup ties a local threat to conflicts involving powerful interstellar forces, while foregrounding questions of loyalty, responsibility, and individual destinies within a fractured empire.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • For readers following Breq’s story in the earlier volumes of the trilogy.
  • For science-fiction readers interested in space opera and conflicts involving empires, stations, and crews.

Book overview

Breq and her crew must stand against an old and powerful enemy and fight for their own destinies in the stunning conclusion to the New York Times bestselling trilogy. A must read for fans of Ursula K. Le Guin and James S. A. Corey.

"There are few who write science fiction like Ann Leckie can. There are few who ever could." --John Scalzi, author of Starter Villain

For a moment, things seemed to be under control for Breq, the soldier who used to be a warship. Then a search of Athoek Station's slums turns up someone who shouldn't exist, and a messenger from the mysterious Presger empire arrives, as does Breq's enemy, the divided and quite possibly insane Anaander Mianaai--ruler of an empire at war with itself.

Breq refuses to flee with her ship and crew, because that would leave the people of Athoek in terrible danger. The odds aren't good, but that's never stopped her before.
