    *2018 LOCUS AWARD WINNER OF BEST SCIENCE FICTION NOVEL* *2018 HUGO AWARD FINALIST FOR BEST NOVEL* “John Scalzi is the most entertaining, accessible writer working in SF today.” —Joe Hill, author of The Fireman Set in a new universe, this space-opera sequence by the Hugo Award-winning, New York Times-bestselling author introduces a reality governed by physics where faster-than-light travel was once deemed impossible. The discovery of The Flow, an extradimensional field, changes everything, allowing humanity to reach distant planets and leading to the rise of the Interdependency, an empire built on the interdependence of its outposts. However, as The Flow shifts like a river, entire worlds risk being cut off from one another. When it becomes clear that The Flow is moving and could permanently isolate human worlds, three key figures—a scientist, a starship captain, and the emperox—must work against the clock to salvage their crumbling empire. This thrilling narrative combines political intrigue, humor, and action, appealing to fans of epic tales like Game of Thrones and Dune. Scalzi's signature style delivers a fun yet thought-provoking adventure in a universe on the brink of collapse. The Interdependency Series includes: 1. The Collapsing Empire 2. The Consuming Fire

    The Last Emperox is the thrilling conclusion to the award-winning, New York Times and USA Today bestselling Interdependency series, an epic space opera adventure from Hugo Award-winning author John Scalzi. The collapse of The Flow, the interstellar pathway between the planets of the Interdependency, has accelerated. Entire star systems—and billions of people—are becoming cut off from the rest of human civilization. This collapse was foretold through scientific prediction . . . and yet, even as the evidence is obvious and insurmountable, many still try to rationalize, delay and profit from, these final days of one of the greatest empires humanity has ever known. Emperox Grayland II has finally wrested control of her empire from those who oppose her and who deny the reality of this collapse. But “control” is a slippery thing, and even as Grayland strives to save as many of her people form impoverished isolation, the forces opposing her rule will make a final, desperate push to topple her from her throne and power, by any means necessary. Grayland and her thinning list of allies must use every tool at their disposal to save themselves, and all of humanity. And yet it may not be enough. Will Grayland become the savior of her civilization . . . or the last emperox to wear the crown? The Interdependency Series 1. The Collapsing Empire 2. The Consuming Fire 3. The Last Emperox
