About this event

  • 2 hours

On Tuesday 14th of May 2024 we're meeting at our literary lounge in Books on the Rise for our Sci Fi/Fantasy Book Club as a part of our Feminist Book Fortnight series! This time we'll be discussing Anne Leckie's brilliant military sci fi 'Ancillary Justice.'

Description: They made me kill thousands, but I only have one target now. The Radch are conquerors to be feared - resist and they'll turn you into a 'corpse soldier' - one of an army of dead prisoners animated by a warship's AI mind. Whole planets are conquered by their own people.

The colossal warship called The Justice of Toren has been destroyed - but one ship-possessed soldier has escaped the devastation. Used to controlling thousands of hands, thousands of mouths, The Justice now has only two hands, and one mouth with which to tell her tale. But one fragile, human body might just be enough to take revenge against those who destroyed her.

Tickets are £5 or included with a purchase of 'Ancillary Justice' through Books on the Rise (in store or online) E-tickets to the event are also offered for the same price.
