A magnificent work of vivid imagination and universe-spanning action, Empress of Forever is Max Gladstone’s feminist Guardians of the Galaxy crossed with Star Wars and spiced with the sensibility and spirit of Iain M. Banks and William Gibson.

Gladstone and Arkady Martine will discuss this fantastical space opera and the issue of ethics and rulership in sci-fi.
