As far as Cas knows, she’s the only person around with a superpower…until she discovers someone with a power even more dangerous than her own. Someone who can reach directly into people’s minds and twist the2 years ago Read more -

Blog postSo, this has been going on a while in various places, but it’s recently raised its head on Twitter. Sadly, more than once in the last few days, but for Reasons I’m even more pissed off than usual this time.
So, antis. I am not here for antis. Not because I’m blase about the sexual abuse of children, but precisely the contrary.
And in particular I am not here for antis harassing folks, or trying to round up people to help them harass. Which is what folks have been doing for sev2 years ago Read more -
Blog postWell, so, it’s been quiet over here, except a couple of weeks ago folks may have noticed some phantom “new post” tweets and Tumblr posts, which linked back either to a page that couldn’t be found, or some placeholder Lorem Ipsum sort of text. That was because the inestimable Jeremiah Tolbert, of the fabulous Clockpunk Studios, was redoing my website, and I forgot to warn him about my crossposter plugin, which, it turns out, is different from whatever any of his other clients use. So, sorry ab3 years ago Read more

Blog postSo, one of the things I’ve really been looking forward to is touring for the release of The Raven Tower. I love to visit the bookstores and meet the people who keep us all in great books to read, and I love getting to meet my readers, who in my experience so far are a delightful bunch of folks.
Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, I can’t do that this time. I was all set to, dates were finalized and announced, we were ready to go, but…some things have happened that make it3 years ago Read more
Titles By Ann Leckie
"There are few who write science fiction like Ann Leckie can. There are few who ever could." -- John Scalzi
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.
"There are few who write science fiction like Ann Leckie can. There are few who ever could." -- John Scalzi
Breq is a soldier who used to be a warship. Once a weapon of conquest controlling thousands of minds, now she has only a single body and serves the emperor.
With a new ship and a troublesome crew, Breq is ordered to go to the only place in the galaxy she would agree to go: to Athoek Station to protect the family of a lieutenant she once knew -- a lieutenant she murdered in cold blood.
Ann Leckie's Imperial Radch trilogy has become one of the new classics of science fiction. Beautifully written and forward thinking, it does what good science fiction does best, taking readers to bold new worlds with plenty explosions along the way.
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.
"There are few who write science fiction like Ann Leckie can. There are few who ever could." -- John Scalzi
Gods meddle in the fates of men, men play with the fates of gods, and a pretender must be cast down from the throne in this masterful first fantasy novel from Ann Leckie, New York Times bestselling author and winner of the Hugo, Nebula, and Arthur C. Clarke Awards.
"Absolutely wonderful. . .utterly brilliant." -- The New York Times Book Review
For centuries, the kingdom of Iraden has been protected by the god known as the Raven.
He watches over his territory from atop a tower in the powerful port of Vastai. His will is enacted through the Raven's Lease, a human ruler chosen by the god himself. His magic is sustained by the blood sacrifice that every Lease must offer. And under the Raven's watch, the city flourishes.
But the Raven's tower holds a secret. Its foundations conceal a dark history that has been waiting to reveal itself. . .and to set in motion a chain of events that could destroy Iraden forever.
"It's a delight to read something so different, so wonderful and strange." -- Patrick Rothfuss

Provenance
Though she knows her brother holds her mother's favor, Ingrid is determined to at least be considered as heir to the family name. She hatches an audacious plan -- free a thief from a prison planet from which no one has ever returned, and use them to help steal back a priceless artifact.
But Ingray and her charge return to her home 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 and her world, before they are lost to her for good.
La deslumbrante opera prima que ha ganado todos los grandes premios de la ciencia ficción: Hugo, Nebula, Arthur C. Clarke, Locus y BSFA.
En un planeta helado y remoto, una soldado llamada Breq se está acercando al cumplimiento de su misión. En el pasado, Breq era Justicia de Toren, un crucero de batalla colosal con una inteligencia artificial que conectaba a miles de soldados que servían al Radch, el imperio que había conquistado la galaxia.
Ahora, un acto de traición la ha hecho pedazos y solo cuenta con un único y frágil cuerpo humano, numerosas preguntas sin responder y un ardiente deseo de venganza.

El esperado desenlace de la trilogía superventas del New York Times: «Espada Auxiliar»
El debut más exitoso de los últimos años, galardonado con todos los grandes premios de género: Hugo, Nebula, Arthur C. Clarke, Locus y BSFA.
Todo parecía estar bajo control para Breq hasta que, en una expedición en los suburbios de la Estación Althoek, encuentra a un auxiliar de nave escondido del Imperio del Radch durante millones de años. Mientras tanto un mensajero del misterioso Imperio Presger aterriza al mismo tiempo que su peor enemigo, Anaander Mianaai.
Breq podría coger su nave y huir pero dejaría a la población de Athoek en peligro...
Afortunadamente, tiene un plan mejor.

Breq ist eine Kämpferin, die auf einem einsamen Planeten auf Rache sinnt. Hinter ihrer verletzlichen, menschlichen Fassade verbirgt sich mehr, als es zunächst den Anschein hat: Sie wurde von den Radch geschaffen, die nach und nach das gesamte Universum unterworfen haben. Breq ist nur dem Äußeren nach eine Frau, vor allem aber ist sie ist eine perfekt konstruierte Maschine, abgerichtet zum Erobern und Töten. Nun aber beschließt sie das Unmögliche: Ganz allein will sie es mit Anaander Mianaai aufnehmen, dem unbesiegbaren Herrscher der Radch. Denn Breq will endlich frei sein.
Em um remoto planeta gelado, Breq está prestes a concluir seus planos de vingança. Ex-membro do Radch, o império que domina a galáxia, Breq era a nave Justiça de Toren – uma porta-tropas gigantesca com uma única inteligência artificial que habitava e controlava o corpo de milhares de soldados. Mas um ato de traição destruiu tudo o que Breq conhecia, e agora só lhe resta um único e frágil organismo humano para enfrentar o império.
O livro de estreia de Ann Leckie é uma space opera inovadora, que ganhou todos os principais prêmios literários de ficção científica: Hugo, Nebula, Locus, Arthur C. Clarke e BSFA. Com um universo rico em detalhes e uma trama intricada, Justiça ancilar revoluciona o gênero e apresenta uma história ousada, poderosa e emocionante.
PER SECOLI, Iraden è stata protetta dal Corvo, un dio che domina il territorio dall'alto di una torre nella cittadina portuale di Vastai. La sua volontà emana attraverso il Fittavolo, che con il suo tributo di sangue ne tiene in vita il potere. Sotto lo sguardo attento del Corvo, Vastai fiorisce, arricchendosi con i dazi che riscuote dalle navi di passaggio per lo stretto del Mare Interno.
Ma il Corvo si sta indebolendo. Il Fittavolo è scomparso e al suo posto ora siede un usurpatore, mentre ai confini si stanno radunando truppe straniere che hanno stretto alleanze con nuove divinità.
È in questo momento di pericolo che un dio - uno dei leggendari e temutissimi Antichi - vede giungere Eolo, al seguito di Mawat, erede del vero Fittavolo. E comincia a parlare, raccontando una storia che potrebbe aiutare Eolo e Mawat a fare giustizia. Così, mentre assiste il suo signore, Eolo scopre che la Torre del Corvo nasconde un segreto. Nelle sue fondamenta è celata una vicenda oscura che attende solo di essere svelata... e di mettere in moto una catena di eventi che potrebbe distruggere Iraden per sempre.
