Left Bank Books & Schlafly Public Library welcome winner of Hugo, Nebula, Locus, and Alex honors for the New York Times best-selling "Murderbot Diaries" series Martha Wells to discuss the book N. Fans will not be disappointed by Wells’s return to fantasy.Left Bank & Schlafly Public Library Welcome Scifi Great & Author of Murderbot Series, MARTHA WELLS on June 22! Laudably, however, Wells treats sexuality and gender (demons can move between male and female bodies) with a refreshing matter-of-factness and depicts the cultures of this world with an anthropologist’s care. The enormous cast is difficult to keep track of and the dry, workmanlike prose that works so well when Wells is writing robots can make it difficult to feel particularly close to any of these living characters. Among those helping him are Ziede Daiyahah, a witch searching for her missing wife Sanja, a street urchin and Ramad, a vanguarder and historian. The present begins with Kai abruptly waking to find his consciousness separated from his body-which is now a corpse entombed in a watery prison-and setting out to investigate his own murder. The past story line follows Kai’s first possession of a human body and his relationship with Prince Bashasa, who orchestrates a coup against the autocratic Hierarchs to avenge his sister’s death.
Hugo, Nebula, and Locus award winner Wells takes a break from her sci-fi Murderbot series to delve into a complex secondary world fantasy exploring the past and present of Kaiisteron the Witch King, a demon in human form.
