Publisher's summary

In this chillingly resonant dystopian adventure, two versions of America are locked in conflict. Invisible Sun concludes Charles Stross’ Empire Games trilogy.

Two twinned worlds are facing attack.

The American Commonwealth is caught in a deadly arms race with the USA, its parallel-world rival. And the USA’s technology is decades ahead. Yet the Commonweath might self-combust first - for its leader has just died, leaving a crippling power vacuum. Minister Miriam Burgeson must face allegations of treason without his support, in a power-grab by her oldest adversary.

However, all factions soon confront a far greater danger.... In their drive to explore other timelines, hi-tech USA awakened an alien threat. This force destroyed humanity on one version of earth. And if the two superpowers don’t take action, it will do the same to them.

Invisible Sun follows Empire Games and Dark State. This trilogy is set in the same dangerous parallel world as Charles Stross’ Merchant Princes sequence.

Great book

I finished it too fast, I want more. Great ending though, and if you liked the other books you will enjoy this too

Repeatedly thought THAT has to be the end

Plenty of damn good points where you think it must be the crescendo, but the story keeps building.

fond farewell

I've been following this series as part of the merchant princes, and enjoyed it very much. its not perfect or my favourite book in the series, but does tie everything satisfactorily. apart from.... the aliens - obviously a new book coming set in the future given the setup at the end - great and looking forward to that already!

Just brilliant...

Personally this book is amazing, I am currently 60% of the way through it and I felt compelled to write a review. Invisible Sun is just a dream to read, I actually have to pace myself as I don't want the book to end! The characters, the plot lines, the story arcs, all bringing together the entire Merchant Princes series to a close!

Stross is clearly the leading Sci-Fi author of this generation. I didn't think he would top Delirium Brief (which I have read countless times), but Invisible Sun is on par with that book and may be exceed it.

I can not recommend this book and the entire Merchant Prince series enough.

Thank you Charles!
