About this listen
Isako is a legendary swordswoman, but every legend has to 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 legacy. But when a competitor offers her a final mission, it's one she can't refuse. Soon, she's thrust deep into a world of corporate espionage, duty-bound duels, and shadowy secrets. What she uncovers will change humanity's existence in the stars forever.
The Last Contract of Isako is the sci-fi you didn't know you needed: corporate samurai... in space. This is the first adult science fiction novel from the award-winning author of Jade City. ©2026 Fonda Lee (P)2026 Little, Brown Book Group Limited
Critic Reviews
Fonda Lee has outdone herself. The Last Contract of Isako is totally gripping -- the work of a master at the top of her game (Sarah Gailey, Hugo Award-winning author)
A masterclass in concise world building, incisive characterisation, and a classic action plot that highlights honour, competency and compassion against a background of betrayal, dazzling fight sequences, and secrets that must not be told (Kate Elliott)
In a far-flung dystopia, Isako is a swordswoman bound by a code of honor, who finds herself caught between competing interests--where corporate powers, semi-immortal elites, and disgruntled radicals clash over an uncertain future. Released unexpectedly from her contract and made a ronin, Isako must plunge into the scheming underbelly of a hostile world to uncover a secret that might change everything. Fonda Lee has once again written a tale full of intrigue, nuanced characters, unexpected surprises, and action that keeps you on the edge of your seat! (P. Djèlí Clark)
