What people on Hacker News said
It could be loosely described as a SF political thriller and contains some great characters, good ideas and genuine suspense.
Highlights are the language, and that the story feels both very small and contained, and also all-encompassing, at the same time.
These were marvellous, well worth reading for any fans of Malazan/other fantasy or sci-fi.
Amabassador from the independent sparse asteroid mining frontier sent in to the great core of expanding empire. Intrigue & outsiderdom & culture.
