About this listen

The stunning conclusion to the trilogy that began with the Hugo, Nebula, and Arthur C. Clarke Award-winning Ancillary Justice.

For just a moment, things seem to be under control for the soldier known as Breq. Then a search of Atheok Station's slums turns up someone who shouldn't exist - someone who might be an ancillary from a ship that's been hiding beyond the empire's reach for three thousand years.

In the meantime, a messenger from the alien and mysterious Presger empire arrives, as does Breq's enemy, the divided and quite possibly insane Anaander Mianaai - ruler of an empire that's at war with itself.

Anaander is heavily armed and extremely unhappy with Breq. She could take her ship and crew and flee, but that would leave everyone at Athoek in terrible danger. Breq has a desperate plan. The odds aren't good, but that's never stopped her before.

amazing writing and characters. unfortunately it came to a bit of a disappointing but satisfying end. I do hope there are more books to wrap up the loose ends

Great series but sort of fizzled out

This third part of the Ancillary trilogy takes matters a significant step forward for the protagonists, especially in the finale, and particularly for the ships, their ancillaries and A.I.s in general. Most characters get their chance to shine and be quite relevant, including the apparently odd ones, despite or even because of their shortcomings and suffering, and events unfold quite unpredictably, but the plot is always balanced by character insights. A great way to close this brilliant trilogy. The narration was captivating and perfect, like with the previous parts.

Worthy ending of a brilliant trilogy

I've listened to this series at least four times. I love the story, I love the characters and I love the narration.

I wish there were more!

Absolutely loved this series. It is very different from your usual Sci fi but all the better for it. A very well fleshed out universe with a great cast of characters, but the highlight is the narration by Adjoa Andoh. A brilliant performance that brings the whole series to life.

A fascinating series with spectacular narration.
