The
Middle Kingdom is volume three in David Wingrove’s Chung Kuo series, out in October in a
smart new edition from Corvus at £14.99. The
Middle Kingdom was first published in 1989 – so here is a great opportunity
to catch up on the saga.
It’s 2196: “The great Empire of Ice, Chung
Kuo, has finally been shaken after, more than a century of peace. The Minister
of the Edict has been assassinated. The seven ruling T’ang struggle to maintain
Stasis, even as their mile-high, continent-spanning cities descend into chaos.
Amid the chaos, the rebels responsible for
the assassination seize the opportunity to effect Change. But the assassination
was orchestrated by those far closer to the ruling power, and this betrayal
will lead them all into the world-shattering War of Two Directions.”
