"What if you once had thousands of bodies and near god-like technology at your disposal? And what if all of it were ripped away? The Lord of the Radch has given Breq command of the ship Mercy of Kalr and sent her to the only place she would have agreed to go -- to Athoek Station, where Lieutenant Awn's sister works in Horticulture. Athoek was annexed some six hundred years ago, and by now everyone is fully civilized -- or should be. But everything is not as tranquil as it appears. Old divisions are still troublesome, Athoek Station's AI is unhappy with the situation, and it looks like the alien Presger might have taken an interest in what's going on. With no guarantees that interest is benevolent"-- Provided by publisher.

I'm not sure but I will read book 3 submitted by scottmaurmann on July 25, 2023, 9:02am For a book that eludes to thousands of star systems and millions of years the story in book 2 of this series was quite small. I am sure it connects to the "something bigger" once you move onto the conclusive 3rd book but I was not as bought in this time around. I enjoyed book 1 and look forward to book 3 but this was a bit of a chore at times. Still, it has its charms that make it a worthwhile read.
