Publisher's summary

  • Winner: The Kitschies - The Inky Tentacle for cover art 2013

The Fissure connecting the alternate New York to its counterpart has vanished, plunging the city into a deep freeze. The people are demanding a return to Prohibition and rationing as energy supplies dwindle.

Meanwhile, in the real 1954 New York, the political dynamic has changed. Nimrod finds his department subsumed by a radical new group, Atoms For Peace, led by the mysterious Evelyn McHale. Their goal is simple: total conquest - or destruction - of the Empire State.

Adam Christopher returns with the thermonuclear sequel to Empire State - the superhero-noir fantasy thriller set in the other New York.

Critic reviews

"A noir, Philip K Dick-ish science fiction superhero story…a novel of surreal resonances, things that are like other things, plot turns that hearken to other plot turns. It’s often fascinating, as captivating as a kaleidoscope." (Cory Doctorow)
"Truly original." ( Eric Brown, The Guardian)

Fun, but not as much as the first.

This is a fun sequel to Empire State. It just kind of feels like it's missing something that the first book had. It's by no means bad, just shadowed by it's predecessor.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
