One sequel has already been confirmed, but a trilogy is possible.
Last year, Scalzi signed an unprecedented ten-year, thirteen-book deal with Tor Books (which he explains in greater detail below), and The Collapsing Empire is the first of those books. Three people - a kind scientist named Marce Claremont, a cutthroat businesswoman named Kiva Lagos, and the naive new “emperox” of it all, Cardenia Wu-Patrick - get caught in the web of a political conspiracy to profit off the catastrophe. Hundreds of years from now, humankind’s interstellar civilization is threatened by the collapse of the natural wormhole-esque system (the Flow) that makes faster-than-light travel possible. Martin limited himself to 300 pages and liked to curse more. It’s like Game of Thrones in space, if George R.
I’ve read 8 science fiction novels so far this year, and most of them were quite good, but none were as unabashedly fun as John Scalzi’s new space-opera adventure, The Collapsing Empire, out this week from Tor Books.
