Synopsis

A Fractured Europe. A Parallel World. A Global Threat. Union has come. The Community is now the largest nation in Europe; trains run there from as far afield as London and Prague. It is an era of unprecedented peace and prosperity. So what is the reason for a huge terrorist outrage? Why do the Community and Europe meet in secret, exchanging hostages? And who are Les Coureurs des Bois? Along with a motley crew of strays and mafiosi and sleeper agents, Rudi sets out to answer these questions - only to discover that the truth lies both closer to home and farther away than anyone could possibly imagine. Author bio: Dave Hutchinson was born in Sheffield in 1960. After reading American Studies at the University of Nottingham, he became a journalist. He's the author of five collections of short stories and two novels, and his novella The Push was shortlisted for the 2010 BSFA award for short fiction. He has also edited two anthologies and co-edited a third. His short story 'The Incredible Exploding Man' featured in the first Solaris Rising anthology, and was selected for the Year's Best Science Fiction collection. He lives in north London with his wife and several cats.

Starts with a bang, ends with a stolen airport. Didn't realize how much I missed Rudi and his fractured central and eastern Europe wanderings. The sightseeing is my favorite part. Will inflame your wanderlust.......more

Goodreads review by David on November 04, 2016

I'm grateful to the publisher for an advance e-copy of this book. "It was hard to be certain who was running the world any more, although obviously it wasn't the people who thought they were." This is the third book in Hutchinson's Fractured Europe sequence (I hope that it being a sequence not a trilo......more

Europe in Winter just didn't click with me in the same way its predecessors did. I hate to play the role of "befuddled dullard reader who doesn't seem to be paying attention", but the returning characters, influx of new characters, and Hutchinson's prose--which is lean and not given to much in the w......more
