Ancillary Mercy Ann Leckie

The stunning conclusion to the trilogy that began with the Hugo, Nebula, and Arthur C. Clarke award-winning Ancillary Justice. For a moment, things seem to be under control for the soldier known as Breq. Then a search of Atheok Stations slums turns up someone who shouldnt exist—someone who might be an ancillary from a ship thats been hiding beyond the empires reach for three thousand years. Meanwhile, a messenger from the alien and mysterious Presger empire arrives, as does Breqs enemy, the divided and quite possibly insane Anaander Mianaai—ruler of an empire 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 arent good, but thats never stopped her before.
