Two parallel versions of America are trapped in a cold war - and it's heating up fast. This is the extraordinary finale to Charles Stross's alternative-history trilogy.
Charles Stross was born in Leeds, England, in 1964. He has worked as a pharmacist, software engineer and freelance journalist, but now writes full time. Stross has won two Hugo awards and been nominated multiple times. He has also won the Locus Award for Best Novel, the Locus Award for Best Novella and has been shortlisted for the Arthur C. Clarke and Nebula Awards. In addition, his fiction has been translated into around a dozen languages. His novels include the popular Merchant Princes, Laundry Files and Empire Games series. Stross lives in Edinburgh, Scotland, with his wife Feorag, a couple of cats, several thousand books, and an ever-changing herd of obsolescent computers.
Stross’s ferociously imaginative world-building is on full display
here . . . few other writers can match him for humour, creativity
and sheer density of ideas

close
*Kirkus starred review on Dark State*
High-octane thriller action, mixed in with personal drama and some
fantastically sympathetic characters
*Starburst on Dark State*
Mind-boggling, complex and truly brilliant
*Daily Mail on Empire Games*
When intrigue, politics and suspense are so well executed, it
doesn’t matter which realm, dimension or timeline the participants
hail from. Add to that a sense of mischief, wit and humour and
Charles Stross gives you the full package

Plenty of fun
*Locus on Dark State*
