Review
A thrilling novel so in tune with the flow of politics that it would feel relevant at almost any time . . . Balances humour with action throughout the book, and always keeps the plot twists coming -- Entertainment Weekly 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 Rousing storytelling and satisfying intrigue . . . An engaging, well-crafted sci-fi drama -- SFX on The Collapsing Empire
