Waiting on Wednesday [288] – THE CONSUMING FIRE by John Scalzi

Waiting on Wednesdays is the brainchild of Jill at Breaking the Spine, and because Jill isn’t hosting it any more, I’m now linking up with Can’t Wait Wednesday at Wishful Endings. Stop over there and link up your “Can’t Wait” book of the week!

Boy, Scalzi is one busy writer! I feel like I just featured another of his upcoming books on a Waiting on Wednesday post, and here we are again! I had fun with the first book in this series, The Collapsing Empire, so I was excited to see the cover this past week for book #2 in the series:

The Interdependency, humanity’s interstellar empire, is on the verge of collapse. The Flow, the extra-dimensional conduit that makes travel between the stars possible, is disappearing, leaving entire star systems stranded. When it goes, human civilization may go with it—unless desperate measures can be taken.

Emperox Grayland II, the leader of the Interdependency, is ready to take those measures to help ensure the survival of billions. But nothing is ever that easy. Arrayed before her are those who believe the collapse of the Flow is a myth—or at the very least, an opportunity that can allow them to ascend to power.

While Grayland prepares for disaster, others are preparing 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 take place between spaceships and battlefields. The Emperox and her allies are smart and resourceful, but then so are her enemies. Nothing about this power struggle will be simple or easy… and all of humanity will be caught in its widening gyre.

The Consuming Fire (The Interdependency #2) by John Scalzi. Releases in October 2018 from Tor Books. I feel like it’s been forever since I read The Collapsing Empire, I’m going to have to do a refresh before October for sure!

Are you reading this series? Let me know what you’re waiting on this week:-D

      Redshirts is one I think I’ll love, since it’s a spoof on Star Trek. One of these days… I did hear something about the Old Man’s War series but I’d have to Google it. I want to read the book before I watch it though!

      It’s hard to get to everything, that’s for sure! I really want to go back and try his Old Man’s War series and Redshirts. I hear those are fantastic:-)

      Oh no now we’re second guessing each other, lol! I’ve done the same with you a couple of times, I’m sure:-)

  1. New to me (surprise surprise) but actually I have definitely heard of this author! I feel like the publisher sent me a review copy of a previous book in the past. Or I could be thinking of another author, LOL. Soooo many books, so little time. I hope you enjoy this book when you get the chance to read it!

    Have a great week, Tammy. =)

      Ha ha, I know, so many books! It’s hard to keep them straight sometimes:-) Thanks for stopping by, Alyssa!

  2. I loved The Collapsing Empire, so I need to keep an eye out for this one, too. Many thanks for the reminder that this is coming out this year, Tammy:)

  3. I am still smarting from that time I got denied for The Collapsing Empire by like two publishers :DD
    BTW, I was going to ask you – which publishers do you more or less monitor on NetGalley? Cause I’ve decided to just keep a Tor tab always open on my phone so I could check for new releases xD but I know it’s more than just Tor. What are some of the awesome ones that you get books from on NetGalley? Cause I’d love more books like the ones I see on your blog, but I never seem to catch them before it’s too late xD
