About this ebook
New York Times Bestseller
USA Today Bestseller
The Consuming Fire is the second installment of the award-winning, New York Times and USA Today bestselling Interdependency series, an epic space opera adventure from Hugo Award-winning author John Scalzi.
The Interdependency—humanity’s interstellar empire—is on the verge of collapse. The extra-dimensional conduit that makes travel between the stars possible is disappearing, leaving entire systems and human civilizations stranded.
Emperox Grayland II of the Interdependency is ready to take desperate measures to help ensure the survival of billions. But arrayed before her are those who believe the collapse of the Flow is a myth—or at the very least an opportunity to an ascension to power.
While Grayland prepares for disaster, others are prepare for a civil war. A war that will take place in the halls of power, the markets of business and the altars of worship as much as it will between spaceships and battlefields.
The Emperox and her allies are smart and resourceful, as are her enemies. Nothing about this will be easy... and all of humanity will be caught in its consuming fire.

Decent read - plot moves along quickly and the technology isn't too outrageous. My only complaint about this book ins't the fault of the author - but $9.99 for a book that's just over 300 pages is too expensive!

Fun characters, but the story hinges on a couple of lazy tropes. This isn't Scalzi's A game. It's too bad, because the setting has a lot of potential.

I liked the Old Man's War books better. The first of this interdependancy trilogy was great. They got progressively less great, but still a decent read.
