3.0

"Translation State" is set not long after the main "Ancillary" trilogy but (despite an appearance from one of the characters from that trilogy) is not directly related. This was a charming book, with some interesting framing of the questions of what we owe to our families (found or related) and how to balance that against our own needs.
