Hugo Award-winning author Charlie Stross dives deep into the underbelly of paratime espionage, nuclear warfare, and state surveillance in this provocative techno-thriller.
In the near future, the collision of two nuclear superpowers – in two different timelines – is imminent. One America is experiencing its first technological revolution, whilst a parallel United States is a hi-tech police state. But both are poised to wreak destruction.
In Miriam Burgeson's America, internal politics are pulling the government apart. But if one of her agents secures a high-profile defection, civil war may be averted. Rita Douglas, rival US spy, arrives during this crisis. Her world is rocked when she realises Miriam is her mother, who gave her up for adoption as a baby. But what impact will this have on the conflict?
Then the US discovers another timeline, and the remains of an advanced society. Something annihilated that civilisation – and Rita's people are about to rouse it.
'A nightmarish clash of arms, politics, and wills... Tension crackles from every page ... Sheer brilliance: when Stross is in this mood, nobody else comes close.'
Kirkus Reviews, starred
'Complexly plotted and with characters to match, Dark State exceeds the promise of Empire Games.'
Booklist
'No one beats [Stross] at hypertech.'
