[An] all around brilliant space opera, I absolutely love it.--Ann
Leckie, on A Memory Called Empire
A Desolation Called Peace is the spectacular space opera sequel to
Arkady Martine's genre-reinventing, Hugo Award-winning debut, A Memory
Called Empire.
An alien armada lurks on the edges of Teixcalaanli space. No one can
communicate with it, no one can destroy it, and Fleet Captain Nine
Hibiscus is running out of options.
In a desperate attempt at diplomacy with the mysterious invaders, the
fleet captain has sent for a diplomatic envoy. Now Mahit Dzmare and
Three Seagrass--still reeling from the recent upheaval in the
Empire--face the impossible task of trying to communicate with a hostile
entity.
Their failure will guarantee millions of deaths in an endless war. Their
success might prevent Teixcalaan's destruction--and allow the empire to
continue its rapacious expansion.
Or it might create something far stranger . . .
