Europe at Midnight: Volume 2 (The Fractured Europe Sequence)

by Dave Hutchinson (Author)

Synopsis

Europe is crumbling. The Xian Flu pandemic and ongoing economic crises have fractured the European Union, the borderless Continent of the Schengen Agreement is a distant memory, and new nations are springing up everywhere, some literally overnight. For an intelligence officer like Jim, it's a nightmare. Every week or so a friendly power spawns, a new and unknown national entity which may or may not be friendly to England's interests; it's hard to keep on top of it all. But things are about to get worse for Jim. A stabbing on a London bus pitches him into a world where his intelligence service is preparing for war with another universe, and a man has come who may hold the key to unlocking the mystery.

Book Overview: Pitch-perfect, bursting with the same charisma and intricate world-building as its predecessor... Europe at Midnight is high-powered fiction of the cleverest sort. -- LA Review of Books Hutchinson writes wonderfully, his prose animated not just by a keen eye for character, but by a blackly witty sense of humor, qualities that make Europe at Midnight both darkly entertaining and disturbingly timely. --Locus Wonderful as Europe in Autumn was, I believe book two might be better yet... It's funny, fantastical, readable and remarkable. --Tor.com Mind expanding, accessible yet deeply layered fiction that matches anything those Pulitzer, Man-Booker or Hugo awards winners could offer. -- SF Book Reviews
