I’m giving this 5 stars as the first adult sci-fi novel I have enjoyed in some time. I can’t think how they can fix things the way they are now, but I look forward to finding out. I lettori moderni, freschi dal guardare un 'America First' negli Stati Uniti e la Brexit nel Regno Unito che si allontanano dai loro ruoli di egemoni globali, probabilmente non potrebbero chiedere un titolo di libro più rilevante in questo momento rispetto a The Collapsing Empire.

I’m ready to know more about them, and I can’t wait to read the next novel. The collapsing empire di john scalzi: ew review. And the new Empress of the Interdependency must battle lies, rebellion and treason. A scion of a Merchant House stumbles upon conspirators seeking power. I was devastated to discover that this was ‘Book One’. But The Flow is changing course, which could plunge every colony into fatal isolation.A scientist will risk his life to inform the empires ruler. The characters are nicely fleshed out, and I enjoyed getting to know each of them. It’s actually quite refreshing as there is nothing romantic going on in these couplings, it’s sex just because it’s desired! Which I can imagine is quite freeing for people in this universe, as well as an open mind to practically everything. There are graphic sex scenes and unflinching comments from the characters who have failed to get a sex life happening. The parts of physics and basic explanations of the Flow made my eyes glaze over a little, but I didn’t need to completely skip those sections to keep my interest!

I found myself slipping effortlessly into the pages and refusing to come out again. This is a low key science fiction novel that is easy to read, with not too much jargon or assumed knowledge. While the characters struggle to understand the devastating consequences this will have on their personal lives, the potential to wreak havoc on the universe is limitless. Kiva thinks that the worst of her problems is potentially infected Haverfruit… not the collapse of inter-space travel as they know it.
