 22214.jpeg\n\nTo win an impossible war Captain Kel Cheris must awaken an a
 ncient weapon and a despised traitor general. Captain Kel Cheris of the he
 xarchate is disgraced for using unconventional methods in a battle against
  heretics. Kel Command gives her the opportunity to redeem herself by reta
 king the Fortress of Scattered Needles\, a star fortress that has recently
  been captured by heretics. Cheris`s career isn`t the only thing at stake.
  If the fortress falls\, the hexarchate itself might be next. Cheris`s bes
 t hope is to ally with the undead tactician Shuos Jedao. The good news is 
 that Jedao has never lost a battle\, and he may be the only one who can fi
 gure out how to successfully besiege the fortress.\n\nThe bad news is that
  Jedao went mad in his first life and massacred two armies\, one of them h
 is own. As the siege wears on\, Cheris must decide how far she can trust J
 edao --because she might be his next victim.\n\n\n\n\n\nPraise for Ninefox
  Gambit:\n\n"Beautiful\, brutal and full of the kind of off-hand inventive
 ness that the best SF trades in\, Ninefox Gambit is an effortlessly accomp
 lished SF novel. Yoon Ha Lee has arrived in spectacular fashion."\n--Alast
 air Reynolds\n\nI love Yoon`s work! "Ninefox Gambit" is solidly and satisf
 yingly 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."\n
 --Ann Leckie\n\n"Starship Troopers" meets "Apocalypse Now" and they`ve put
  Kurtz in charge... Mind-blistering military space opera\, but with a dens
 ity of ideas and strangeness that recalls the works of Hannu Rajaniemi\, e
 ven Cordwainer Smith. An unmissable debut."\n--Stephen Baxter\n\n"A striki
 ng space opera by a bright new talent."\n--Elizabeth Bear\n\n"A high-octan
 e ride through an endlessly inventive world\, where calendars are weapons 
 of war and dead soldiers can assist the living. Bold\, fearlessly innovati
 ve and just a bit brutal\, this is a book that deserves to be on every awa
 rds list."\n--Aliette de Bodard\n\n"Daring\, original and compulsive. As i
 f Cordwainer Smith had written a Warhammer novel."\n--Gareth L. Powell"\n\
 n"For sixteen years Yoon Ha Lee has been the shadow general of science fic
 tion\, the calculating tactician behind victory after victory. Now he laun
 ches his great manoeuvre. Origami elegant\, fox-sly\, defiantly and feroci
 ously new\, this book will burn your brain. Axiomatically brilliant. Heret
 ically good."\n--Seth Dickinson\n\n"A dizzying composite of military space
  opera and sheer poetry. Every word\, name and concept in Lee`s unique wor
 ld is imbued with a sense of wonder."\n--Hannu Rajaniemi
