Publisher Description
Does the biggest threat lie within?
In the far future, humanity has left Earth to create a glorious empire. Now this interstellar network of worlds faces disaster - but can three individuals save their people?
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 . . .
The Collapsing Empire is an exciting space opera from John Scalzi.

A great book to read
A fast moving, crossing different types of worlds, full of politics and human interactions. Finished it at a blistering pace. A great read!
Fabulous
Absolutely engaging, humorous and delightful scifi book. Set in a future space far from earth but with many contemporary themes. Sets the scene for the rest of the series. Hard not to really enjoy this book and certainly it's already my favourite Scalzi novel.
