Science fiction, Space opera

From World Fantasy Award-winning author Fonda Lee comes a searing space opera in which a battleworn samurai's final mission thrusts her deep into a world of corporate espionage, dark secrets and tarnished honour, where she uncovers a conspiracy that could upend society on an isolated colony planet.

Get ready to be blown away by this searing standalone science fiction epic where corporate samurai fight beneath merciless stars, and death is always a mere breath away.

Isako is a legendary swordswoman, but every legend has to come to an end. When her long-time client unexpectedly retires, she plans to follow-to walk out into the frozen wasteland of their planet with her head held high and her family enriched by her legacy. But when a competitor offers her a final mission, it's one she can't refuse. Soon, she's thrust deep into a world of corporate espionage, duty-bound duels, and shadowy secrets. What she uncovers will change humanity's existence in the stars forever.

The Last Contract of Isako is the sci-fi you didn't know you needed: corporate samurai... in space. This is the first adult science fiction novel from the award-winning author of Jade City.

Praise for The Last Contract of Isako: The samurai science fiction epic from the author of Jade City

  • Lee's astute worldbuilding raises the stakes for her vivid and tautly-described action scenes

  • A sharp and insightful new voice

  • OMG. Take my money. I have loved everything Fonda Lee has written and this new book has me salivating

  • Fonda Lee's stories do not pull their punches. They resonate with hard hits and fast revelations. At the same time, the bigger picture is always in view, and Lee's stories are firmly in the realm of deeply introspective, fast moving tales that will stay with the reader long after the book is done

  • Stylish and action-packed, full of ambitious families and guilt-ridden loves, Jade City is an epic drama reminiscent of the best classic Hong Kong gangster films but takes place in a fantasy metropolis so gritty and well-imagined that you'll forget you're reading a book
