Ancillary Justice

Book • 2013
Ancillary Justice is a science fiction novel set thousands of years in the future in the expansionist Radch empire.

The story follows Breq, who is both the sole survivor of the starship Justice of Toren and the vessel of that ship's artificial consciousness.

Breq seeks revenge against the ruler of her civilization, navigating a complex world where the Radchaai do not distinguish people by gender.

The novel explores themes of identity, humanity, social inequality, and gender, and it is the first in the Imperial Radch trilogy.
