SUMMARY:EMBASSYTOWN - CHINA MIEVILLE (HUGO\, NEBULA & LOCUS AWARD NOMINEE)
DESCRIPTION:In the far future\, humans have colonized a distant planet\, ho
 me to the enigmatic Ariekei\, sentient beings famed for a language unique 
 in the universe\, one that only a few altered human ambassadors can speak.
 \n\nAvice Benner Cho\, a human colonist\, has returned to Embassytown afte
 r years of deep-space adventure. She cannot speak the Ariekei tongue\, but
  she is an indelible part of it\, having long ago been made a figure of sp
 eech\, a living simile in their language.\n\nWhen distant political machin
 ations deliver a new ambassador to Arieka\, the fragile equilibrium betwee
 n humans and aliens is violently upset. Catastrophe looms\, and Avice is t
 orn between competing loyalties—to a husband she no longer loves\, to a 
 system she no longer trusts\, and to her place in a language she cannot sp
 eak yet speaks through her.\n\n\n\n\n\nHugo Award Nominee for Best Novel (
