Winner of the 2020 Hugo Award for Best Novel.
Arkady Martine's A Memory Called Empire is one of the hottest science fiction debuts around. For those who loved Ann Leckie's epic space opera Ancillary Justice, Tamsyn Muir's Gideon the Ninth and Iain M. Banks’s Culture novels.
Shortlisted for the 2020 Arthur C. Clarke Award. Shortlisted for the 2019 Goodreads Choice Awards.
In a war of lies she seeks the truth . . .
Ambassador Mahit Dzmare travels to the Teixcalaanli Empire’s 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 wasn’t accidental – and she might be next.
Now Mahit must navigate the capital’s 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 she’s 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 followed by A Desolation Called Peace in the Teixcalaan duology.
'A Memory Called Empire perfectly balances action and intrigue with matters of empire and identity. All-round brilliant space opera, I absolutely loved it' – Ann Leckie, author of Ancillary Justice

Rekommenderas till alla som gillar klassisk Science Fiction med fokus på invecklade politiska intriger. Väldigt välskriven och smart bok. Men inte riktigt min grej. Inte alls så bra som jag förväntade mig. Men jag kommer läsa uppföljare om det kommer några sådana.

Lite svår att komma in i med många namn och företeelser som var kluriga att få koll på i ljudformatet. Men väl värt det att hålla ut då det utvecklas till en berättelse full av intriger, spänning och intressanta karaktärer.

4,5 stars.This was so good! As we follow an ambassador trying to work for the best of her small space station and navigating a different society, uncovering mysteries. We see Mahit make genuine connections, taking in culture and it gives you as a reader the opportunity to have great talking points if you wanted to have this for a bookclub pick. Fascinating and beautifully written. Excited to get to the second one!

Den var väl ok men inte mer. Inte den bästa uppläsningen kanske påverkade.

Text-to-speech Voice? Jävligt trög att komma in i, helt utan inlevelse...

"om du tycker om Ann Leckie så tycker du om denna" vare 100% anledningen till att jag började på detta. Det va väldigt korrekt. Den här kunde nästan utspela sig 100 år innan ancilliary justice.Mycket dialog, mycket intriger. Underbar uppläsare!

Boken var väl sådär, men en underbar berättarröst man lätt kunde lyssna på i 12 timmar till.

Jag kanske hade för högt ställda krav? Jag fann historien som långsam, pratig och utan någon riktig utveckling å
