Critically acclaimed author Charles Stross has mastered numerous genres, including Lovecraftian horror, fantasy, and alternate history, claiming such prizes as the Locus and Sidewise Awards. His breathtaking science fiction has earned him a Hugo Award and several additional Hugo nominations, including one for Singularity Sky. In the 21st century, the perfection of faster-than-light travel and the rise of a prodigious artificial intelligence known as the Eschaton altered the course of humankind. New civilizations were founded across the vastness of space. Now, the technology-eschewing world known as the New Republic is besieged by an alien information plague. Earth quickly sends a battle fleet—but is it coming to the rescue, or is a sinister plot in motion? Singularity Sky emerges as a brilliant space opera replete with groundbreaking concepts and energized by an imaginative vision of the future. “If ever science fiction is about new ideas … [Stross] is the crème de la crème.”—Locus

Bestselling author Charles Stross’ novels have garnered numerous awards and nominations, including several Hugo, Nebula, and Locus Award selections. In Iron Sunrise, a godlike future-being known as the Eschaton has enabled humans to achieve interstellar colonization and near speed-of-light travel. Just before planet Moscow is vaporized by an unnatural star explosion, its ruling body launches a misguided counterattack against the innocent neighboring system of New Dresden. The strike can’t be recalled without a code known only by a handful of government officials—and they’re being assassinated one by one. Now it falls to U.N. operative Rachel Mansour to protect the final codeholder and find out who’s behind this galactic set up. But her best hope lies with Wednesday Shadowmist, a teenage girl who doesn’t even know she holds the answers. “Compelling space opera and cutting-edge tech with a tasty dash of satire … Stross skillfully balances suspense and humor throughout … Offering readers a fascinating future that seems more than possible.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review

The Singularity. It is the era of the posthuman. Artificial intelligences have surpassed the limits of human intellect. Biotechnological beings have rendered people all but extinct. Molecular nanotechnology runs rampant, replicating and reprogramming at will. Contact with extraterrestrial life grows more imminent with each new day. Struggling to survive and thrive in this accelerated world are three generations of the Macx clan: Manfred, an entrepreneur dealing in intelligence amplification technology whose mind is divided between his physical environment and the Internet; his daughter, Amber, on the run from her domineering mother, seeking her fortune in the outer system as an indentured astronaut; and Sirhan, Amber's son, who finds his destiny linked to the fate of all of humanity. For something is systematically dismantling the nine planets of the solar system. Something beyond human comprehension. Something that has no use for biological life in any form...
