Praise for The Collapsing Empire "Provocative and unexpected." -- The Wall Street Journal "Scalzi has constructed a thrilling novel so in tune with the flow of politics that it would feel relevant at almost any time." -- Entertainment Weekly, Grade B+ "Scalzi builds a fascinating new interstellar civilization in order to destroy it....[ The Collapsing Empire is] amusing escapism full of guts and brains." -- Ars Technica "Scalzi mixes science, history, and politics with sharp action and intriguing characters.

Synopsis
The first novel of a new space-opera sequence set in an all-new universe by the Hugo Award-winning, New York Times-bestselling author of Redshirts and Old Man's War., *2018 LOCUS AWARD WINNER OF BEST SCIENCE FICTION NOVEL* *2018 HUGO AWARD FINALIST FOR BEST NOVEL* "John Scalzi is the most entertaining, accessible writer working in SF today." --Joe Hill, author of The Fireman The first novel of a new space-opera sequence set in an all-new universe by the Hugo Award-winning, New York Times -bestselling author of Redshirts and Old Man's War Our universe is ruled by physics. 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. Riding The Flow, humanity spreads to innumerable other worlds. Earth is forgotten. A new empire arises, the Interdependency, based on the doctrine that no one human outpost can survive without the others. It's a hedge against interstellar war--and, for the empire's rulers, a system of control. The Flow is eternal--but it's not static. Just as a river changes course, The Flow changes as well. In rare cases, entire worlds have been cut off from the rest of humanity. 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 The Interdependency Series 1. The Collapsing Empire 2. The Consuming Fire

    Although this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.

The item arrived exactly as described and was well-packaged to ensure its safety during transit. The seller was courteous and responsive, making the entire transaction smooth and hassle-free. I highly recommend this seller to anyone looking for quality products and excellent service.

  • Game of thrones in space.

    At first I was expecting some kind of epic space opera like star wars with a grand invasion but this was even better. It really reminded me of Gundam mobile wing with all the politics and backstabbings. I can't wait for the future books as I believe each book would make good for an hbo season.

  • Seems kind of slow.

    Close to half way thru it and it seems very slow. a lot of political stuff being explained and character development, who is who and what they do. Perhaps the second half will be better or maybe you will need this information for the second book in the series?

  • Expensive paperback book from supplier but worth reading.

    Very good and well written book.
