Past Secrets
The year is 2201. Chung Kuo, the great City that covers the globe, enjoys an uneasy peace. But it is a peace that will soon be disrupted by the discovery of the Aristotle File, which charts the real history of the world - a truth which has been suppressed for millennia.
Present Dangers
Cold, cruel and calculating, Howard DeVore is determined to end the rule of the Seven T'angs and make way for his own bid for power. The harbinger of Change is the starship The New Hope - and its destruction will force the rebel factions into open warfare with the Seven.

Reviews / Votes
Awesome. CHUNG KUO carries the hallmark of legend. * SFX * Love, tragedy, joy... all human life (and death) is here * The Times * Colossal. A long-awaited, elaborately frightening vision of the future. * Sunday Times * Quite extraordinary... finally delivers SF into the hands of an English Proust -- Brian Aldiss One of the masterpieces of the decade * Washington Post * Excellent... with a well-imagined universe, well-executed characters and action that doesn't let up, this is Orwell's 1984 but on an enormous canvas packed with detail * Toronto Globe and Mail *More details
