Breq is a soldier who used to be a warship. Once a weapon of conquest controlling thousands of minds, now she has only a single body and serves the emperor.

With a new ship and a troublesome crew, Breq is ordered to go to the only place in the galaxy she would agree to go: to Athoek Station to protect the family of a lieutenant she once knew - a lieutenant she murdered in cold blood.

Review of 'Ancillary Sword' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

Well, Ancillary Justice was no fluke; Ancillary Sword is as gripping and intriguing as its predecessor and (assuming you've read the first volume) not initially confusing, either. As I recall this is more focused on intrigue than Justice, though it does have its moments of action, including an exciting (if somewhat predictable and slightly preposterously timed series of events) denouement.
