“Daring, original and compulsive. As if Cordwainer Smith had
written a Warhammer novel.” —Gareth L. Powell
“A high-octane ride through an endlessly inventive world, where
calendars are weapons of war and dead soldiers can assist the
living. Bold, fearlessly innovative and just a bit brutal, this is
a book that deserves to be on every awards list.” —Aliette de
Bodard
“For sixteen years Yoon Ha Lee has been the shadow general of
science fiction, the calculating tactician behind victory after
victory. Now he launches his great manoeuvre. Origami elegant,
fox-sly, defiantly and ferociously new, this book will burn your
brain. Axiomatically brilliant. Heretically good.” —Seth
Dickinson
“A striking space opera by a bright new talent.” —Elizabeth
Bear
“Starship Troopers meets Apocalypse Now – and they’ve put Kurtz in
charge... Mind-blistering military space opera, but with a density
of ideas and strangeness that recalls the works of Hannu Rajaniemi,
even Cordwainer Smith. An unmissable debut.” —Stephen Baxter
“I love Yoon’s work! Ninefox Gambit is solidly and satisfyingly
full of battles and political intrigue, in a beautifully built
far-future that manages to be human and alien at the same time. It
should be a treat for readers already familiar with Yoon’s
excellent short fiction, and an extra treat for readers finding
Yoon’s work for the first time.” —Ann Leckie
“Beautiful, brutal and full of the kind of off-hand inventiveness
that the best SF trades in, Ninefox Gambit is an effortlessly
accomplished SF novel. Yoon Ha Lee has arrived in spectacular
fashion.” —Alastair Reynolds
“Breathtakingly original” —The New York Times
“Beautiful, vast and rooted in the real” —NPR
“Yoon Ha Lee’s Machineries of Empire is the kind of trilogy you
love to discover — one filled with space battles, political
intrigue, and technology so advanced it feels magical.” —SYFY
“With intergalactic battles and political schemes, Ninefox Gambit
is set in an inventive world governed by calendrical systems.” —The
Portalist
