Now she must choose between genocidal revenge and a far more difficult path—a conspiracy of judges, kings, spies and immortals, puppeteering the world's riches and two great wars in a gambit for the ultimate prize. If Baru had absolute power over the Imperial Republic, she could force Falcrest to abandon its colonies and make right its crimes.

Quando arriva, però, scopre che il suo predecessore è morto, ma nessuno è disposto ad ammettere che non si è trattato di una morte accidentale. Né che potrebbe essere lei la prossima vittima. Adesso Mahit deve, nell'ordine: scoprire chi si cela dietro l'assassinio; rimanere viva; proteggere dalle mire espansionistiche del Teixcalaan la sua patria, Lsel, una stazione mineraria piccola ma decisa a difendere la propria indipendenza a ogni costo. E tutto questo mentre si trova a esplorare una cultura aliena fin troppo affascinante, tessere intrighi e nascondere un segreto tecnologico che potrebbe segnare la fine di Lsel, o salvarla dalla distruzione. |

| teixcalaan: A Desolation Called Peace: A Texicalaan Novel 2 Arkady Martine, 2021-05-11 HUGO AWARD FINALIST FOR FOR BEST NOVEL 2022 A Desolation Called Peace is the spectacular space opera sequel to A Memory Called Empire by Arkady Martine, winner of the 2020 Hugo Award for Best Novel. An alien terror could spell our end. An alien threat lurks on the edges of Teixcalaanli space. No one can communicate with it, no one can destroy it, and Fleet Captain Nine Hibiscus is supposed to win a war against it. In a desperate attempt to find a diplomatic solution, the fleet captain has sent for an envoy to contact the mysterious invaders. Now Mahit Dzmare and Three Seagrass - both still reeling from the recent upheaval in the Empire - face an impossible task: they must attempt to negotiate with a hostile entity, without inadvertently triggering the destruction of themselves and the Empire. Whether they succeed or fail could change the face of Teixcalaan forever.

La commandante Neuf Hibiscus n’a d’autre recours que l’option diplomatique, et c’est ainsi que Mahit Dzmare, l’ambassadrice de la station Lsel, et Trois Posidonie, son ex-chargée de liaison – encore sous le choc du récent soulèvement de l’Empire –, se retrouvent en première ligne, investies de la tâche impossible de communiquer avec cette entité hostile. Leur échec se traduirait par des millions de morts, leur succès garantirait la survie de l’Empire. À moins qu’il n’existe une troisième voie... Prix Hugo du meilleur roman 2022.

Sa remplaçante, la jeune Mahit Dzmare, part avec un handicap : la puce mémorielle censée lui fournir tous les souvenirs de son prédécesseur est défectueuse, la laissant démunie face à une société complexe dont elle a du mal à appréhender les codes. Elle peut cependant compter sur l’aide de Trois Posidonie, sa chargée de liaison pleine de ressources, pour la guider parmi les intrigues et les chausse-trappes de la politique teixcalaanlie. Mais plusieurs questions demeurent : qui a tué Yskandr, et pourquoi ? Risque-t-elle de subir le même sort ? Prix Hugo du meilleur roman 2020 |
