edit data

Kay Want Cheung grew up a poor relation in a succession of dour, Victorian households, leavened by lengthy vacations to Middle-Earth. She was active behind the iron curtain during the Cold War, did a tour of duty on Mars base and survived the apocalypse by sheltering with the dragons of Pern. After a brief dabbling with Jedi philosophy, she went on to study geo-politics on Arrakis and positronic logic on Solaria.

She resides in the Australian dry tropics, lives in the twenty-fourth century, but admits to occasional nostalgia for stone chimneys, moorland heather and rain.

Great science fiction from Ann Leckie

I recently listened to the audiobook version of Radiant Star by Ann Leckie and enjoyed it so much! Such a great read if, like me, you love intelligent, character-driven plots set within a uniquely different world and social order. It’s a stand-alone novel (but does work best if you’ve read the Ancillary series).

Because it was audiobook I have no idea how to spell the character names so I’m not goi
