About this product

Product Information

In Hidden Empire , the sequel to Card's bestselling novel Empire , Averell Torrent has become President of the United States, with enormous political and popular support and, if people only realized it, a tight grip on the reins of both political parties. He has launched America into a get-tough, this-world-is-our-empire foreign policy stance. But Captain Bartholomew Coleman, known as Cole to his friends and enemies alike, sees the danger Torrent poses to American democracy and the potential disasters involved in his foreign military adventures. Cole quickly runs afoul of Torrent; on the run, he and a few friends and allies seek proof of how Torrent orchestrated the political takeover that included assassinating a President and nearly starting a civil war.

"[A] relentless thriller, which couldn't be timelier and is, for all its hyperactivity and flip, Hollywoodish one-liners, heartfelt and sobering.... Intriguing plot wrinkles come fore and aft of those basic developments, there are many deftly shaped supporting players, and major shocks explode in a split second (no Stephen King slo-mo for Card!). Moreover, all the action doesn't obscure the author's message about the dangers of extreme political polarization and the need to reassert moderation and mutual citizenship; indeed, it drives it home."--Booklist on Empire "Violent infighting has the American Empire on the brink of destruction in this look at a possible future." --Library Journal on Empire, [A] relentless thriller, which couldn't be timelier and is, for all its hyperactivity and flip, Hollywoodish one-liners, heartfelt and sobering....

orson Scott card is an excellent writer. None of what would be in the movies or or even PG-13 including sexuality. I read this book yours ago and it was so good that having, not wisely and, disposed of it I decide to purchase it again for my reading pleasure. Charley Langley

  • Another great book from a great writer.

    Great sequel to the previous book. Really gives you the opportunity to look at the near future as it may happen.
