Then one day I saw a news story about a podiatrist who’d been arrested for starting an opioid ring and it got me thinking: why do people start selling drugs? Is it money, power, status?

A phenomena so rare it’s been notated only a few times. On a moonless Navajo night, the recessed Bengal Breed known only as Judd became Cullen Maverick, grandson to one of the Chiefs of the Six Tribes of the Native Americans.īengal genetics, usually so fierce as to be labeled primal, was recessed so deep inside Judd that no hint of it can be found.

Success on this scale, though, can put a writer in an unenviable position. Two sequels – Ancillary Sword and Ancillary Mercy – carried Breq’s story to its conclusion, expanding Leckie’s imaginary universe in pleasingly Iain M Banksy ways, and Leckie found herself propelled, in short order, to the front of the genre. All characters are referred to by female pronouns because the Radchaai don’t distinguish gender: a simple but surprisingly effective strategy for disorienting readerly preconception. ![]() Leckie does not deny her readers the satisfaction of adventure, intrigue and space battles, but she puts those things at the service of some richly rendered observations on the difference between loyalty and obedience, service and slavery. ![]() ![]() ![]() “This is as close to a perfect book as you’ll buy this year. ![]() Will Frances be able to save her siblings?
