Über dieses E-Book
In the far future, humanity has left Earth to create a glorious empire. Now this interstellar network of worlds faces disaster. The Collapsing Empire is a propulsive space opera from John Scalzi, the first in the award-winning Interdependency series.
Does the biggest threat lie within?
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

Scalzi manages a rare feat. He makes science fiction very human and engaging. All without the blazing guns and overblown pathos all to common in the genre. His characters are well developed and believable. His technology reinforces the fantasy rather than being it's own purpose. I will look out for any sequels.
