As a terrifying alien threat sweeps across the galaxy, their first battle is how to communicate. . .
Arkady Martine is a speculative fiction writer and, as Dr AnnaLinden Weller, a historian of the Byzantine Empire and an apprentice city planner. Under both names she writes about border politics, rhetoric, propaganda and the edges of the world. Arkady grew up in New York City and, after some time in Turkey, Canada and Sweden, lives in Baltimore with her wife, the author Vivian Shaw. She is the author of the Teixcalaan duology, which begins with A Memory Called Empire.
A Memory Called Empire perfectly balances action and intrigue with
matters of empire and identity. All-round brilliant space opera, I
absolutely loved it

A cutting, beautiful, human adventure about cultural exchange,
identity and intrigue. The best SF novel I’ve read in the last five
years

An intricate, layered tale of empire, personal ambition, political
obligations and interstellar intrigue. Vivid and delightfully
inventive
*Aliette de Bodard on A Memory Called Empire*
An elegant and accomplished example of the subgenre of subtle
scheming with a background of stars. A delightful read. I couldn’t
put it down
*Jo Walton on A Memory Called Empire*
An exceptional first novel recommended for fans of Cherryh, Leckie,
Banks and Asimov
*Elizabeth Bear on A Memory Called Empire*
A cunningly plotted, richly imagined tale of interstellar intrigue
