A review by barryhaworth
Dark State by Charles Stross

4.0

The second book in the Empire Games series and the eighth overall in the Merchant Princes series, this book continues to build the face off between our world and the American Commonwealth, with a number of new threads and developments thrown in for good measure. My only gripe with this book is that I didn't realise when I started reading that it was not the end of the story, with at least one more book to come and (hopefully) resolve the different story lines.
