"John Scalzi is the most entertaining, accessible writer working in SF today." --Joe Hill, author of The Fireman Our universe is ruled by physics.
When it\'s discovered that the entire Flow is moving, possibly separating all human worlds from one another forever, three individuals--a scientist, a starship captain, and the emperox of the Interdependency--must race against time to discover what, if anything, can be salvaged from an interstellar Empire on the brink of collapse."Fans of Game of Thrones and Dune will enjoy this bawdy, brutal, and brilliant political adventure" --Booklist on The Collapsing Empire"Political plotting, plenty of snark, puzzle-solving, and a healthy dose of action...
Scalzi continues to be almost insufferably good at his brand of fun but think-y sci-fi adventure." --Kirkus Reviews on The Collapsing Empire"Scalzi is one of the slickest writers that SF has ever produced." --The Wall Street Journal on The Human Division.
In rare cases, entire worlds have been cut off from the rest of humanity.
Just as a river changes course, The Flow changes as well.
The Flow is eternal--but it\'s not static.
It\'s a hedge against interstellar war--and, for the empire\'s rulers, a system of control.
A new Empire arises, the Interdependency, based on the doctrine that no one human outpost can survive without the others.
Earth is forgotten.
Riding The Flow, humanity spreads to innumerable other worlds.
Faster than light travel is impossible--until the discovery of The Flow, an extradimensional field available at certain points in space-time, which can take us to other planets around other stars.
