About this eBook

Shortlisted for the Arthur C. Clarke and British Science Fiction Awards

In a fractured Europe, new nations are springing up everywhere, some literally overnight.

For an intelligence officer like Jim, it’s a nightmare. Every week or so a friendly power spawns a new and unknown national entity which may or may not be friendly to England’s interests. It’s hard to keep on top of it all. But things are about to get worse for Jim.

A stabbing on a London bus pitches him into a world where his intelligence service is preparing for war with another universe, and a man has come who may hold the key to unlocking Europe's most jealously-guarded secret...

The plot lacks resolution, and the narrative is choppy and poorly organized. It's a good idea for a story, but a generally disappointing read. For all the conspiracies and post-apocalyptic romps the book lacks any sense of excitement.

I really enjoyed this book - works well as a multi-world-building dystopian adventure, but is a little beguiling and convoluted as a spy thriller. Reminds me a little of Illuminatus.
