2018 Locus Award, Best Science Fiction Novel

Our universe is ruled by physics, and faster-than-light travel is not possible - until the discovery of The Flow, an extradimensional field we can access at certain points in space-time that transports us to other worlds, around other stars.

Humanity flows away from Earth, into space, and in time forgets our home world and creates a new empire, the Interdependency, whose ethos requires that no one human outpost can survive without the others. It's a hedge against interstellar war - and a system of control for the rulers of the empire.

The Flow is eternal - but it is not static. Just as a river changes course, The Flow changes as well, cutting off worlds from the rest of humanity. When it's discovered that The Flow is moving, possibly cutting off all human worlds from faster-than-light travel forever, three individuals - a scientist, a starship captain, and the empress of the Interdependency - are in a race against time to discover what, if anything, can be salvaged from an interstellar empire on the brink of collapse.

Kritikerröster

"Fans of Game of Thrones and Dune will enjoy this bawdy, brutal, and brilliant political adventure." (Booklist)

"Scalzi has constructed a thrilling novel so in tune with the flow of politics that it would feel relevant at almost any time." (Entertainment Weekly)

"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)

Containing the usual twists and surprises, the story is captivating, and physically adequate. I especially enjoyed Wil Wheaton.

interesting story line

wish it was longer, feels a bit cliffhanger-y. But itching for a Sequel means its good.

Good Start of a Series

A great story with well-thought-out characters. The first book already feel huge and I can’t wait to listen to the 2nd one.
Will Wheaton is such a great reader. He brings the whole thing to life.

...only this story is far less frustrating.
Forget lightspeed: in this universe, shouting at people to solve a Problem actually works!

Star-Trek meets Game of Thrones...

Scalzi is a very interesting writer. The books are so different. In my humble opinion, his style improves, no 'he said,... She said...' it's however less and less action driven and rather a long developing plot with much intrigue. But I very much like it.
Wil Wheaton is amazing, very versatile, very convincing, never annoying.

Less action, more intrigue, good humor too
