Summary

An inquisitive life-form finds there’s more to existence than they ever dreamed in an imaginative short story by New York Times bestselling and Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author Ann Leckie.

On a far-off colony, humans tower over the local species who grow the plants they need. Narr keeps the workers in line—someone has to. But when Narr learns just how short-lived their species is, the little alien embarks on a big mission: to find out why their people die and how to stop it. Stubborn and hopeful, Narr has a plan for the locals, for humans, and for the future.

Ann Leckie’s The Long Game is part of The Far Reaches, a collection of science-fiction stories that stretch the imagination and open the heart. They can be read or listened to in one sitting.

A fantastic short story from an incredible talent

I was devastated when it ended, I had totally forgotten that it was a short story. I was so engrossed in the world and invested in the story of these people and their earth. We need more Ann!
Performance was good, though I'm used to Adjoa Andoh narrating for all of Ann Leckies books which has spoiled me for all other narrators!
