EMPIRE GAMES - CHARLES STROSS TASCHENBUCH

It's 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. The 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. 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? 'Empire Games is
immensely compelling  an excellent novel' Locus 'Complex and truly brilliant' Daily Mail
'Ferociously imaginative' SFX
