Series: Empire Games
Hugo Award-winning author Charlie Stross hits the ground running with Empire Games, provocative techno-thriller and fresh storyline in the Merchant Princes universe.

It's 2020. Two nuclear superpowers across timelines, one in the midst of a technological revolution and the other a hyper-police state, are set on a collision course. Each timeline's increasingly desperate paratime espionage agencies are fumbling around in the dark, trying to find a solution to the first-contact problem that doesn't result in a nuclear holocaust.

And two paratime travellers, Ministry of Intertemporal Research and Intelligence Commissioner Miriam Burgeson and newly minted spy Rita Douglas--a mother and her long-lost, adopted daughter--are about to find themselves on opposite sides of the confrontation.

Reviews for Empire Games (#1 Empire Games)

Praise for Empire Games The keen eye and what-if imagination of Charles Stross fuel a fresh look at alternate worlds. --David Brin, author of Existence A well-written book, full of mystery and intrigue, with entire worlds at stake. --Michael Flynn If you like the spy novels of Ian Fleming, or Len Deighton, as I do, but also appreciate a genre twist, then you'll love Empire Games. It is intelligent, entertaining and yet also a little scary. --SFFWorld.com Praise for The Merchant Princes Series Economic science fiction worth reading. --Paul Krugman, Nobel Prize winner and New York Times bestselling author Stross is not a writer who aims to leave his readers reassured: One can't tell which way he's going to go, nor whose side he's on. No one beats him at hypertech either. --The Wall Street Journal Absorbing. --Kirkus Reviews If imagination is the key to success for a writer, Charles Stross has it in spades. --The Times (London) on Charles Stross
