Ambassador Mahit Dzmare arrives in the center of the multi-system Teixcalaanli Empire only to discover that her predecessor, the previous ambassador from their small but fiercely independent mining station, has died.

Now, Mahit must discover who is behind the murder, rescue herself, and save her station from Teixcalaan's unceasing expansion.

Story4 out of 5 stars 47
Prospero, a tall, skinny misfit of a wizard, lives in the South Kingdom - a patchwork of feuding duchies and small manors, all loosely loyal to one figurehead king. Along with his necromancer friend Roger Bacon, who has been on a quest to find a mysterious book, Prospero must flee his home to escape ominous pursuers. Thus begins an adventure that will lead him to a grove where his old rival, Melichus, is falsely rumored to be buried and to a less-than-hospitable inn in the town of Five Dials - and ultimately into a dangerous battle with origins in a magical glass paperweight.

The two original Buck Rogers novellas. Buck Rogers was a huge success, spawning many imitators such as Flash Gordon. Despite being written prior to World War II, the story line accurately foreshadowed several notable advancements in technology: bazookas, consumer e-purchasing, immersive telepresence, night vision devices, optical devices for small arms such as the red-dot sight, paratroopers, remote piloted surveillance and attack drones, telecommuting, and wireless phones - including the flip phone!

Power and Terror
Want to know why Leigh Brackett was asked to draft the Empire Strikes Back? Let the Black Amazon of Mars answer the question. Leigh Brackett is one of the most descriptive and powerful writers I've ever encountered. She's a pro, there's no better word to describe her. Even though it's sword and planet, the sheer drama of her writing, the skill, the breadth of imagination pull it off completely. There's a mix of science fantasy, sword and sorcery and eldritch, alien horror that's evocative and haunting. I'm starting to understand the thesis held in PulpRev circles that JRPGs of the '90s were one of the true inheritors of the original pulp adventure era. BAoM is an OG-Final Fantasy story from start to finish with a little Robert E. Howard and a little of the Holger Danske story thrown in for good measure.

Classic Leigh Brackett Space Opera
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
Yes, especially if they are interested in Appendix N literature
Who was your favorite character and why?
The shining ones - creepy! Or perhaps the eponymous Black Amazon . . .
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Edward Miller?
Almost anyone else - I was not a fan of the narration!
Could you see Black Amazon of Mars being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
Oh yes - but I have no idea who should be cast!

terrible narration
the worst narration for an audiobook I have ever heard far too slow and jowly, he is an unbelievably monotone cross between Norm from cheers and Emo Philips
