New book is coming from the science fiction author John Scalzi. The book, The Consuming Fire, won’t hit bookstores until October, so if you aren’t familiar with his work that gives you some time to get to know him. TOR.com wrote an article on him and his books to guide the uninitiated to his works. The article is titled, Where to Start With the Work of John Scalzi: A Guide for Beginner, Intermediate, and Expert Readers. Of course it does not have the new book listed in there yet and since it is a sequel maybe you want to start with The Collapsing Empire.
The Consuming Fire by John Scalzi
Book Description
The Consuming Fire—the sequel to the 2018 Hugo Award Best Novel finalist and 2018 Locus Award-winning The Collapsing Empire—an epic space-opera novel in the bestselling Interdependency series, from the Hugo Award-winning and New York Times bestselling author John Scalzi
The Interdependency, humanity’s interstellar empire, is on the verge of collapse. The Flow, the extra-dimensional conduit that makes travel between the stars possible, is disappearing, leaving entire star systems stranded. When it goes, human civilization may go with it—unless desperate measures can be taken.
Emperox Grayland II, the leader of the Interdependency, is ready to take those measures to help ensure the survival of billions. But nothing is ever that easy. Arrayed before her are those who believe the collapse of the Flow is a myth—or at the very least, an opportunity that can allow them to ascend to power.
While Grayland prepares for disaster, others are preparing for a civil war, a war that will take place in the halls of power, the markets of business and the altars of worship as much as it will take place between spaceships and battlefields. The Emperox and her allies are smart and resourceful, but then so are her enemies. Nothing about this power struggle will be simple or easy… and all of humanity will be caught in its widening gyre.
