HTML:<b><i>NEW YORK TIMES</i> BESTSELLER</b><br /> In the far future, humans have colonized a distant planet, home to the enigmatic Ariekei, sentient beings famed for a language unique in the universe, one that only a few altered human ambassadors can speak. Avice Benner Cho, a human colonist, has returned to Embassytown after 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 speech, a living simile in their language. When distant political machinations deliver a new ambassador to Arieka, the fragile equilibrium between humans and aliens is violently upset. Catastrophe looms, and Avice is torn 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 speak—but which speaks through her, whether she likes it or not.<br /> <b>Praise for <i>Embassytown</i></b><br /> “A breakneck tale of suspense . . . disturbing and beautiful by turns. I cannot emphasize enough how terrific this novel is. It's definitely one of the best books I've read in the past year, perfectly balanced between escapism and otherworldly philosophizing.”<b>—io9<br /></b><br /> “<i>Embassytown</i> is a fully achieved work of art. . . . Works on every level, providing compulsive narrative, splendid intellectual rigour and risk, moral sophistication, fine verbal fireworks and sideshows, and even the old-fashioned satisfaction of watching a protagonist become more of a person than she gave promise of being.”<b>—Ursula K Le Guin</b><br />  “The Kafkaesque writer journeys to the distant edges of the universe in his latest sci-fi thriller.”<b>—Entertainment Weekly</b><br /> “Utterly astonishing . . . A major intellectual achievement.”<b>—Kirkus Reviews<br /></b><br /> “Brilliant storytelling . . . The result is a world masterfully wrecked and rebuilt.”<b>—P<i>ublishers Weekly</i> (starred review)</b>.
