Ann Leckie – Merhamet (Ancillary Mercy) – İthaki Yayınları First Edition (2017)
Description:
This is the 2017 Turkish first edition of Merhamet (Ancillary Mercy), published by İthaki Yayınları, concluding Ann Leckie’s acclaimed Imperial Radch trilogy. As the final volume of the series, this edition holds strong significance for collectors and readers following the complete narrative arc in Turkish.
The novel continues the story of Breq, the former AI of a vast starship who now exists in a single human body. After the events of the previous books, Breq becomes deeply involved in political and military tensions within the Radch Empire, where internal conflict and shifting power structures threaten stability.
At the center of the story is Athoek Station, a key strategic location where questions of autonomy, governance, and moral responsibility come to the forefront. Breq must navigate complex alliances, bureaucratic systems, and ethical dilemmas while also confronting the lingering consequences of imperial control.
The novel explores themes of justice, authority, empathy, identity, and the nature of power within an interstellar empire. As with the rest of the trilogy, consciousness and personhood—especially in relation to artificial intelligence—remain central philosophical concerns.
This İthaki Yayınları first edition represents the completion of one of the most important modern science fiction trilogies in recent years, making it an essential volume for collectors of contemporary sci-fi literature in Turkish translation.
