'Awesome, Chung Kuo carries the hallmark of legend' - SFX

The Middle Kingdom Summary

The Middle Kingdom by David Wingrove

IMMOVABLE PEACE

The year is 2196. The great Empire of Ice, Chung Kuo, has finally been shaken after more than a century of peace enforced by brutal tyranny. The Minister of the Edict - an official responsible for licensing all technology that could lead to Change - has been assassinated. The seven ruling T'ang struggle to maintain Stasis, even as their mile-high, continent-spanning cities descend into chaos.

IRRESISTIBLE CHAOS

Amid the chaos, the rebels responsible for the assassination seize the opportunity to effect Change. But the assassination was orchestrated by those far closer to the ruling power and this betrayal, the first of many, will lead them all into the world-shattering War of Two Directions.

WAR IS COMING...

The Middle Kingdom Reviews

Awesome. CHUNG KUO carries the hallmark of legend. * SFX *
Love, tragedy, joy... all human life (and death) is here * The Times *
Colossal. A long-awaited, elaborately frightening vision of the future. * Sunday Times *
Quite extraordinary... finally delivers SF into the hands of an English Proust -- Brian Aldiss
One of the masterpieces of the decade * Washington Post *
Excellent... with a well-imagined universe, well-executed characters and action that doesn't let up, this is Orwell's 1984 but on an enormous canvas packed with detail * Toronto Globe and Mail *
Massive. Brutal. Excellent. * Guardian *
