A Memory Called Empire Zusammenfassung

A Memory Called Empire Arkady Martine

This incredible opening to the trilogy recalls the best of John le Carre, Iain M. Bankss Culture novels and Ann Leckies Imperial Radch trilogy.

In a war of lies she seeks the truth . . .

Ambassador Mahit Dzmare travels to the Teixcalaanli Empires interstellar capital, eager to take up her new post. Yet when she arrives, she discovers her predecessor was murdered. But no one will admit his death wasnt accidental and she might be next.

Now Mahit must navigate the capitals enticing yet deadly halls of power, to discover dangerous truths. And while she hunts for the killer, Mahit must somehow prevent the rapacious Empire from annexing her home: a small, fiercely independent mining station.

As she sinks deeper into an alien culture that is all too seductive, Mahit engages in intrigues of her own. For shes hiding an extraordinary technological secret, one which might destroy her station and its way of life. Or it might save them from annihilation.

A Memory Called Empire is book one in the Teixcalaan trilogy.

Gorgeously crafted . . .
