Peace has returned
The year is 2206. After five years of war, the Seven are weak. They have lost three of their members, and the new T'ang are young and inexperienced. Once it was considered inconceivable but now, down in the lowest levels of the immense CIty, new currents of unrest have awoken. Currents that threaten to tear Chung Kuo apart.

The fight endures
But the demand for CHange is not the only threat to the Seven. Major Howard DeVore will use any means available to destroy them and their world-spanning City. And, from their own ranks, Wang Sau-leyan, appointed T'ang after the suspicious deaths of his father and elder brothers, plots to destroy them from within.
The Seven are vulnerable and the forces against them continue to grow...

Welcome to the Future

The Art of War Reviews

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 *
Massive. Brutal. Excellent. * Guardian *
