  • More about Invisible Sun

In Charles Stross's Invisible Sun, a dystopian adventure, the New American Commonwealth and the USA are locked in a deadly arms race, but the Commonwealth might self-combust first due to a power vacuum. Minister Miriam Burgeson must face allegations of treason without his support, and all factions confront a far greater danger: an alien threat that has destroyed humanity on one version of Earth.

Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 400 pages

Publisher: Pan Macmillan


In this gripping and thought-provoking dystopian adventure, two distinct versions of America are locked in a fierce conflict. Invisible Sun, the concluding installment of Charles Stross's Empire Games trilogy, delves into a world where the New American Commonwealth finds itself caught in a deadly arms race with its parallel-world rival, the United States. Despite the USA's technological advancements, which are decades ahead, the Commonwealth faces the imminent threat of self-destruction due to the sudden death of its leader, leaving a crippling power vacuum.

Minister Miriam Burgeson, facing allegations of treason without the support of her predecessor, finds herself in the midst of a power grab orchestrated by her oldest adversary. However, as the factions engage in their pursuit of exploring other timelines, they unwittingly awaken an alien threat that has the potential to destroy both superpowers. This force, which has already wiped out humanity on one version of Earth, poses a grave danger to the entire universe.

Invisible Sun follows the events of Empire Games and Dark State, which are set in the same perilous parallel world as Charles Stross's Merchant Princes sequence. This trilogy explores the complex dynamics of power, politics, and survival in a world where the lines between friend and foe are blurred, and the fate of humanity hangs in the balance.

With its intricate plot, compelling characters, and thought-provoking themes, Invisible Sun offers readers a thrilling and immersive experience that will leave them pondering the consequences of humanity's actions and the potential for a brighter future.
