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
