Ann Leckie enjoyed immediate success and critical acclaim for her debut novel, Ancillary Justice, in 2013. Leckie was already a successful short story writer; her first published work, “Hesperia and Glory,” was included in Science Fiction: The Best of the Year, 2007 Edition, and her subsequent stories “The God of Au” and “The Endangered Camp” were featured in later editions of the same anthology. But it was Ancillary Justice, the first book in Leckie’s Imperial Radch trilogy, that swept the major science fiction awards, garnering Hugo, Nebula, Locus, British Science Fiction Association, and Arthur C. Clarke Awards for best novel—alongside widespread acclaim for the book’s deft balance of suspense, character development, and world-building. Its sequels, 2014’s Ancillary Sword and 2015’s Ancillary Mercy, garnered similar awards attention and closed out the trilogy.
