'There are few who write science fiction like Ann Leckie can. There
are few who ever could' John ScalziThe mystery of a missing
translator sets three lives on a collision course that will have a
ripple effect across the stars in this powerful new novel by
award-winning author Ann Leckie. Qven was created to be a Presger
translator.The pride of their Clade, they always had a clear path
before them: learn human ways, and eventually, make a match and
serve as an intermediary between the dangerous alien Presger and
the human worlds. The realization that they might want something
else isn't ",optimal behavior",. I's the type of behavior that
results in elimination.But Qven rebels. And in doing so, their path
collides with those of two others. Enae, a reluctant diplomat whose
dead grandmaman has left hir an impossible task as an inheritance:
hunting down a fugitive who has been missing for over 200 years.And
Reet, an adopted mechanic who is increasingly desperate to learn
about his genetic roots - or anything that might explain why he
operates so differently from those around him. As a Conclave of the
various species approaches - and the long-standing treaty between
the humans and the Presger is on the line - the decisions of all
three will have ripple effects across the stars. Masterfully
merging space adventure and mystery, and a poignant exploration
about relationships and belonging, Translation State is a
triumphant new standalone story set in Leckie's celebrated Imperial
Radch universe.

V januári 1965 Gabriel García Márquez cestoval s rodinou na
dovolenku do Acapulca, keď odrazu dostal nápad. Začul vravu
mestečka Macondo. Už vedel, ako napíše svoj nový román. Vrátil sa
domov, zatvoril sa do pracovne, a keď z nej po osemnástich
mesiacoch vyšiel, v ruke držal 1 300 strán rukopisu a bol šťastný.
Román Sto rokov samoty prvý raz vyšiel v roku 1967, Márquez mal
vtedy 39 rokov a svet si navždy zapamätal jeho meno. Dnes je román
považovaný za jedno z najvýznamnejších diel latinskoamerickej a
svetovej literatúry. Je komponovaný z množstva reálnych aj
fantazijných epizód a rozpráva o pôvabných i krutých príhodách
šiestich generácií rodiny Buendíovcov z fiktívneho mestečka
Macondo.
