Fantasy & SciFi
A time of ambition, treachery and dangerous secrets . . .
Rita Douglas is plucked from her dead-end job and trained as a reluctant US spy. All because she has the latent genetic talent to hop between alternate timelines - and infiltrate them. Her United States is waging a high-tech war, targeting assassins who can move between worlds to deliver death on a mass scale, and Rita will be their secret weapon.
Miriam Beckstein has her own mission, as a politician in an industrial revolution US. She must accelerate her world's technology before their paranoid American twin finds them. It would blow them to hell. After all, they've done it before. Each timeline also battles internal conspiracies, as a cold war threatens to turn white hot. But which world is the aggressor - and will Rita have to choose a side?
This new series is set in the same world as Charles Stross' 'Merchant Princes' series.

Douglas
2 okt. 2021
One of the more interesting and inspiring sci fi books of recently. This is a book you won't be able to stop reading. The author also creates a set of antoganists, where they has enough 3-D humanity for you to be able to feel some empathy for more than one side. You know how it is. Our weaknesses are also what makes us human. And here we mix human weakness, politics, power struggles, alternative history, parallel universities, strange new technologies, some love and sci fi in complex intrigues that form a whirlpool through several univers.
