For fans of Sci-fi and Fantasy, we have the Twilight Chapters Book Club! The book we will be discussing on July 28th is A Memory Called Empire by Arkady Martine. The meeting is on the fourth Tuesday of the month at 7 p.m. in the Civic Center Library Board Room.
Book Summary: "During a time of political instability in the highest echelons of the imperial court, Ambassador Mahit Dzmare arrives in the center of the multi-system Teixcalaanli Empire only to discover that her predecessor, the previous ambassador from their small but fiercely independent mining Station, has died. But no one will admit that his death wasn't an accident--or that Mahit might be next to die. Now Mahit must discover who is behind the murder, rescue herself, and save her Station from Teixcalaan's unceasing expansion--all while navigating an alien culture that is all too seductive, engaging in intrigues of her own, and hiding a deadly technological secret--one that might spell the end of her Station and her way of life--or rescue it from annihilation"--From publisher.
