The Interdependency―humanity’s interstellar empire―is on the verge of collapse. The extra-dimensional conduit that makes travel between the stars possible is disappearing, leaving entire systems and human civilizations stranded.

Emperox Grayland II of the Interdependency is ready to take desperate measures to help ensure the survival of billions. But arrayed before her are those who believe the collapse of the Flow is a myth―or at the very least an opportunity to an ascension 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 between spaceships and battlefields.

The Emperox and her allies are smart and resourceful, as are her enemies. Nothing about this will be easy... and all of humanity will be caught in its consuming fire.

I thought it will be a drag, but it really wasn't

This is the opposite of vignette style novellas. There is an overarching theme so strong it's enough for a trilogy; but the most impressive story and the new character introduced were absolutely stellar, no pun intended.

It's so good! John Scalzi may be my favourite contemporary writer.

His language is geological to the 21st century, so I don't know if it will stick through ages. We will see...
