Then, how could I not be excited when I saw Wil Wheaton was to narrate? Yes, that Wil Wheaton!!!! I was in the mood for sci-fi so I saw this first in a new series by an author I’ve been meaning to try again after my first satisfying outing with a short story of his. Sophia Rose’s Reviewĭo you ever get hold of a story that you thought looked pretty good, but then it turns out to be this fantastic experience that you couldn’t have possibly predicted from the outset? That was how THE COLLAPSING EMPIRE one hit me. Now grab a cup of your favorite caffeinated beverage and enjoy Sophia’s take on it…. This is a fantastic listen narrated by Wil Wheaton. Today I have Sophia Rose on the blog to share her review of THE COLLAPSING EMPIRE by John Scalzi. When it’s discovered that The Flow is moving, possibly cutting off all human worlds from faster than light travel forever, three individuals - a scientist, a starship captain and the Empress of the Interdependency - are in a race against time to discover what, if anything, can be salvaged from an interstellar empire on the brink of collapse. Just as a river changes course, The Flow changes as well, cutting off worlds from the rest of humanity. The Flow is eternal - but it is not static.

It’s a hedge against interstellar war - and a system of control for the rulers of the empire. Humanity flows away from Earth, into space, and in time forgets our home world and creates a new empire, the Interdependency, whose ethos requires that no one human outpost can survive without the others.

Our universe is ruled by physics and faster than light travel is not possible - until the discovery of The Flow, an extra-dimensional field we can access at certain points in space-time that transport us to other worlds, around other stars.

It was believed to be an extradimensional field that could be accessed at some specific points in space-time that had the potential to transport us all into the other worlds ad around the stars.The first novel of a new space-opera sequence set in an all-new universe. But things changed with the discovery of The Flow. Our entire universe was ruled by physics and traveling faster than light was not a possibility. His voice sounds way too squeaked at the time when he gets worked up to some level. It was not an impressive narration as the narrator seemed to have one mode only.

The audio narration of The Collapsing Empire is done by Wil Wheaton. On top of that, The Ghost Brigades is another notable book by John Scalzi. He is a highly rated author of science fiction novels from the USA and The Kaiju Preservation Society is one of his better books. This is a science fiction and fantasy novel which is written by John Scalzi. The Collapsing Empire is the first installment in The Interdependency novel series.
