(AudioFile magazine)  The Consuming Fire - the sequel to the 2018 Hugo Award Best Novel finalist and 2018 Locus Award-winning The Collapsing Empire - an epic space-opera novel in the best-selling Interdependency series, from the Hugo Award-winning and New York Times best-selling author John Scalzi. 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 Interdependency series:  The Collapsing Empire The Consuming Fire [CHAPTER] start=0 end=1979.547 title=001 [CHAPTER] start=1979.547 end=3374.973 title=002 [CHAPTER] start=3374.973 end=4686.994 title=003 [CHAPTER] start=4686.994 end=5775.452 title=004 [CHAPTER] start=5775.452 end=6994.454 title=005 [CHAPTER] start=6994.454 end=8203.935 title=006 [CHAPTER] start=8203.935 end=9830.632 title=007 [CHAPTER] start=9830.632 end=11429.233 title=008 [CHAPTER] start=11429.233 end=13150.574 title=009 [CHAPTER] start=13150.574 end=14587.657 title=010 [CHAPTER] start=14587.657 end=15395.433 title=011 [CHAPTER] start=15395.433 end=16194.432 title=012 [CHAPTER] start=16194.432 end=17411.9 title=013 [CHAPTER] start=17411.9 end=18523.858 title=014 [CHAPTER] start=18523.858 end=19407.981 title=015 [CHAPTER] start=19407.981 end=20416.145 title=016 [CHAPTER] start=20416.145 end=21892.005 title=017 [CHAPTER] start=21892.005 end=22967.135 title=018 [CHAPTER] start=22967.135 end=24222.778 title=019 [CHAPTER] start=24222.778 end=25283.001 title=020 [CHAPTER] start=25283.001 end=26646.523 title=021 [CHAPTER] start=26646.523 end=27853.589 title=022 [CHAPTER] start=27853.589 end=29418.893 title=023 [CHAPTER] start=29418.893 end=29955.785 title=024
