Amazing military space opera

In Ninefox Gambit, Iain M. Banks' Culture meets Hannu Rajaniemi's Quantum Thief. Yoon Ha Lee weaves a futuristic story about a continuous war against heretics.

Ninefox Gambit combines technology with religion in imaginative ways. It's descriptions of violence aren't graphic, but Lee leaves plenty of room for imagination so that readers see gory battle fields in their eyes.

Ninefox Gambit makes no apologies and skips explanation: it's up to the reader to make sense of the story and technology. And what a wonderful story it is.
