The year is 2065, two decades after the great economic collapse that destroyed civilization. The world''s cities have ceased to exist and life continues only in scattered communities. In rural Dorset Jake Reed lives with his 14-year-old son and memories of the collapse. Back in ''43, Jake was a rich, young futures broker, immersed in the datascape of the world''s financial markets. He saw what was coming - and who was behind it. Forewarned, he was one of the few to escape the fall. For 22 years Jake has lived in fear of the future, and finally it is coming - quite literally - across the plain towards him. Chinese airships are in the skies and a strange, glacial stucture has begun to dominate the horizon. Under the rule of the mighty Tsao Ch''un, a resurgent China is seeking to abolish the past and bring about world peace through rigidly enforced order. But a civil war looms, and Jake will find himself at the heart of the struggle for the future.

The stunning debut of a new storyteller takes place with a vast epic tale of passions and conflicts, of tyranny and the struggle for freedom in a startling and fascinating alternative world--a future when the Chinese rule the Earth.

The authors believe transitional science fiction writer and critic Brian Aldiss represents the evolutionary leap from the older pulp/adventure science fiction to the post new wave genre. They compare his work to that of the early mainstream literary modernists. While science fiction revives the modernist spirit and possesses its ranges, the authors maintain only Aldiss has taken advantage of that potential. His works embody both the potential and contradictions in new wave science fiction. Griffin and Wingrove emphasize the remarkable continuity of Aldiss''s work. Neither rebel against the science fiction tradition nor transgressor of literary values, Aldiss is, for the authors, a model of literary survival.
