About the book
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.

“I think this book fell into those books that the hype around it was sooooooo big, I expected something mindblowing and don't get me wrong, it was interesting and fun, but it wasn't mind blowing and because of that it kind of felt like a disappointment. The world building of this book was insane, it was incredibly creative and unique, the way the entire world is built like one, giant corporation was really unique and I loved seeing the different jargon from corporate world used in this. I also loved how the story was purely corporate politics and small parts of it was actually fighting of any …”
“nothing amazing and new in the cyberpunk genre. It doesn’t need to be as it’s a pretty gripping thriller. I was hooked by the personal story with a backdrop of a world I might ever know 100 percent and enjoyed the ride. ”
