"Hugo and Nebula Award winner Leckie collects 18 stories for a stunning showcase of her talents. Leckie plays with tone... but in every borrowed style (and in the style that is deeply her own), the detailed worlds, intelligent plotting, and clear-eyed compassion make these stories standout. ... Leckie's fans will treasure this."--Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)
"An acclaimed SFF novelist's first short-story collection... Bloodily clever and darkly comic... The many different approaches Leckie takes to her subject are amazing."--Kirkus
"There are few who write science fiction like Ann Leckie can. There are few who ever could."--John Scalzi
"Powerful."--The New York Times on Ancillary Sword

"By turns thrilling, moving and awe-inspiring."--The Guardian on Ancillary Justice
