"A Memory Called Empire perfectly balances action and intrigue with matters of empire and identity. All around brilliant space opera, I absolutely love it." (Ann Leckie, author of Ancillary Justice)
Ambassador Mahit Dzmare arrives in the center of the multi-system Teixcalaanli Empire only to discover that her predecessor, the previous ambassador from their small but fiercely independent mining station, has died. But no one will admit that his death wasn't an accident - or that Mahit might be next to die, during a time of political instability in the highest echelons of the imperial court.
Now, Mahit must discover who is behind the murder, rescue herself, and save her station from Teixcalaan's unceasing expansion - all while navigating an alien culture that is all too seductive, engaging in intrigues of her own, and hiding a deadly technological secret - one that might spell the end of her station and her way of life - or rescue it from annihilation.
A fascinating space-opera debut, Arkady Martine's A Memory Called Empire is an interstellar mystery adventure.
"The most thrilling ride ever. This book has everything I love." (Charlie Jane Anders, author of All the Birds in the Sky)

All Systems Red is the tense first science fiction adventure novella in Martha Wells' series The Murderbot Diaries. For fans of Westworld, Ex Machina, Ann Leckie's Imperial Raadch series, or Iain M. Banks' Culture novels. The main character is a deadly security droid that has bucked its restrictive programming and is balanced between contemplative self-discovery and an idle instinct to kill all humans.

Thus begins an unlikely correspondence between two rival agents hellbent on securing the best possible future for their warring factions. Now, what began as a taunt, a battlefield boast, becomes something more. Something epic. Something romantic. Something that could change the past and the future.

Our universe is ruled by physics, and faster-than-light travel is not possible - until the discovery of The Flow, an extradimensional field we can access at certain points in space-time that transports us to other worlds, around other stars. Humanity flows away from Earth, into space, and in time forgets our home world and creates a new empire, the Interdependency, whose ethos requires that no one human outpost can survive without the others. It's a hedge against interstellar war - and a system of control for the rulers of the empire.

This is the way the world ends...for the last time. It starts with the great red rift across the heart of the world's sole continent, spewing ash that blots out the sun. It starts with death, with a murdered son and a missing daughter. It starts with betrayal, and long dormant wounds rising up to fester. This is the Stillness, a land long familiar with catastrophe, where the power of the Earth is wielded as a weapon. And where there is no mercy.

On a cold spring night in 1952, a huge meteorite fell to earth and obliterated much of the East Coast of the US, including Washington, DC. The ensuing climate cataclysm will soon render the Earth inhospitable for humanity, as the last such meteorite did for the dinosaurs. This looming threat calls for a radically accelerated effort to colonize space and requires a much-larger share of humanity to take part in the process. Elma York’s drive to become the first lady astronaut is so strong that even the most dearly held conventions of society may not stand a chance against her.

Children have always disappeared under the right conditions - slipping through the shadows under a bed or at the back of a wardrobe, tumbling down rabbit holes and into old wells, and emerging somewhere...else. But magical lands have little need for used-up miracle children. Nancy tumbled once, but now she's back. The things she's experienced...they change a person. The children under Miss West's care understand all too well. And each of them is seeking a way back to their own fantasy world.

During a routine survey mission on an uncolonized planet, Kira finds an alien relic. At first she's delighted, but elation turns to terror when the ancient dust around her begins to move. As war erupts among the stars, Kira is launched into a galaxy-spanning odyssey of discovery and transformation. First contact isn't at all what she imagined, and events push her to the very limits of what it means to be human. While Kira faces her own horrors, Earth and its colonies stand upon the brink of annihilation. Now, Kira might be humanity's greatest and final hope....

Court Intrigue meets Murder Mystery
A Memory Called Empire is an enthralling tale about the seduction of cultural imperialism, as told from the perspective of an outsider with unprecedented access to the empire’s innermost circles.
It’s also a story about legacy, the lengths to which people will go to defend that legacy, and how that legacy is negotiated through individual personhood.
Calling it allegorical isn’t quite right. Armada Martine symbolism is crystal clear in terms of what it is portraying, nations that are at once incredibly advanced and still old in so many other ways. The entrapment of role and duty, responsibility to one’s self and to one’s station, the allure and horror of violence and the ways in which power reproduces itself form the thematic sinews of this story.
But as much as I’ve spoken about the themes, the critical elements of the story are in how they get portrayed through its characters. Each are memorable in their own way, with specific quirks of personality that are captured beautifully by the narration, distinct both in terms of character but also in how they react to the elements of the world around them.
The conflicts are as much geopolitical as they are interpersonal, though at times it feels that they travel along parallel lines right up until the end. When it reaches that ending, clicks together in a way that feels earned and is true to the narrative itself.
A handful of people trapped by the inexorable flow of nations, working their best to try and steer the course of history.

Great sci-fi culture-building & political intrigue storyline
A fantastic story with some clever sci-fi concepts, but it’s really the political intrigue storyline that “shines like a spear” in this novel with many excellent cultural nuances interwoven throughout.
The narrator didn’t start off well, in my opinion - she almost sounded like an artificial voice - but as the story developed, she grew into the characters.
Overall, a great read, and I’m off to download the sequel!

Narrator was a bit unenthusiastic at times. Interesting thematically but needed some more development on certain plot points. The concept of memory was very fascinating.

Deserving of every accolade
An excellent performance for an exceptional book. Political and technological intrigue as fine as Neuromancer; a very clever and engaging look at cultures part familiar, part exotic, but never truly alien. I stayed up way too late way too often to burn through it and can't wait for the next in the series.

Good scifi
I really liked this story. I would say it's good science fiction that falls slightly short of being 'great'
I think this is much more speculative cultural SciFi than hard or high tech. not that the tech is unrealistic (other than maybe FTL depending on your opinions on that), it's just not focused on in a scientific way but in more of a cultural impact way.
Love the culture and world building.
The audio book performance is great but I knocked down to 4 stars for a few mispronunciation issues
