In a war-torn Nigeria, battles are fought using flying, deadly mechs, and soldiers are outfitted with bionic limbs and artificial organs meant to protect them from the harsh, radiation-heavy climate.

Tamsyn Muir’s Gideon the Ninth unveils a solar system of swordplay, cut-throat politics, and lesbian necromancers. Her characters leap out of the audio, as skillfully animated as arcane revenants. The result is a heart-pounding epic science fantasy. Brought up by unfriendly, ossifying nuns, ancient retainers, and countless skeletons, Gideon is ready to abandon a life of servitude and an afterlife as a reanimated corpse.

Book was rather hard to follow for the most part! I'm assuming it was a lot symbolic meaning conveyed, because story line was difficult to understand. Had it not been for the awesome narration, which I personally love this narrator, I would have stopped after several chapters. Difficult to understand why or how these characters came to be and ultimately what was real!!
