Description

The Collapsing Empire is an exciting space opera from John Scalzi, the first in the award-winning Interdependency series. Does the biggest threat lie within?In the far future, humanity has left Earth to create a glorious empire.

Now this interstellar network of worlds faces disaster – but can three individuals save their people?The empire's outposts are utterly dependent on each other for resources, a safeguard against war, and a way its rulers can exert control.

This relies on extra-dimensional pathways between the stars, connecting worlds.

But 'The Flow' is changing course, which could plunge every colony into fatal isolation. A scientist will risk his life to inform the empire's ruler.

A scion of a Merchant House stumbles upon conspirators seeking power. And the new Empress of the Interdependency must battle lies, rebellion and treason.

Yet as they work to save a civilization on the brink of collapse, others have very different plans . . . Continue the space adventure trilogy with The Consuming Fire. 'Rousing storytelling and satisfying intrigue . . . an engaging, well-crafted sci-fi drama.' - SFX
