Sobre este título

 A battle-worn corporate samurai undertakes one last mission on a merciless planet where death is always a mere breath away, in this standalone dystopian epic from the author of the modern fantasy classic Jade City.

LIVE BY THE CODE. DIE BY THE KNIFE.

Isako is a legendary swordswoman, but every legend must 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 death. But when she's offered a final mission, she can't refuse, especially when she realizes who lies at the center of it all: Martim, her last—and worst—apprentice, who's somehow made his way to the top. As she's thrust into a world of corporate espionage and shadowy secrets, what she uncovers could forever change humanity's existence among the stars.

The Last Contract of Isako is epic science fiction like only Fonda Lee can write it—set in a world where money trumps loyalty, the elite have the power to extend life or end it, and one woman in the twilight of her calling must decide what's ultimately worth living—or dying—for.
 Aventura Cyberpunk Distopia Ficção Científica

Resumo da Crítica

"Fonda Lee is a master of genre-bending adventure, and I couldn’t wait to see where she'd take this mix of high stakes corporate gamesmanship and space colonization. I wasn't disappointed. The Last Contract of Isako may be her best work yet.”

—James S. A. Corey, New York Times bestselling author of The Expanse series
“Isako is the creaky-kneed, post-menopausal, no-time-for-your-shit hero that we need. May she usher in an age of protagonists who show us the power and depth of the veteran woman warrior! Lee's world of grit and professional honor and ethical quandary will be familiar to her fans, while she is also exploring new themes of transhumanism and disability that energize and resonate. If you came here for Jade City, you'll stay for Isako!” —Bethany Jacobs, Philip K. Dick Award-winning author of These Burning Stars
Praise for the Green Bone Saga:

"Lee’s storytelling is masterful and will leave readers heartbroken and hopeful. This series will stand as a pillar of epic fantasy and family drama." ―Library Journal (starred review) on Jade Legacy

"Sweeping, leisurely, and epic, and combines political intrigue with sharply choreographed action scenes, but it's a character-driven family drama at its heart."―Publishers Weekly (starred review) on Jade War

"[Lee] juggles the personal and the epic with deft, admirable skill, weaving a story that is equally sweeping and intimate; a magical, almost operatic crime and family drama that feels all the more true because all of her jade-fueled supermen (and women) come with human hearts that bend and break the same as ours." ―NPR on Jade War

"Jade City has it all: a beautifully realized setting, a great cast of characters, and dramatic action scenes. What a fun, gripping read!" ―Ann Leckie, Hugo, Nebula, and Arthur C. Clarke Award-winning author

"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 set in a fantasy metropolis so gritty and well-imagined that you'll forget you're reading a book." ―Ken Liu, Hugo, Nebula, and World Fantasy Award-winning author
