Winner of the Hugo, Nebula, and Arthur C. Clarke Awards

This record-breaking novel following a warship trapped in a human body on a quest for revenge is a must-read for fans of Ursula K. Le Guin and James S. A. Corey.

"THRILLING, MOVING AND AWE-INSPIRING." —Guardian

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.

This book is filled with big ideas like the nature of identity in the face of internal conflict (the phrase "I am at war with myself was never so apropos) and what it would be like to be an AI warship with multiple separable units. I recommend it for a wide swath of science fiction readers.
