The following summary employs the present tense, and adheres to a linear mode of explanation. Though the characters all live in different places or eras, they are all connected by Diogenes's book.

It just so happened that this was on my TBR list, having picked it up recently at the Friends of the Library book sale. (I can't remember who.)

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz book publication ![]() Since The Wonderful Wizard of Oz edition copies is the most cherished book by Oz collectors, I decided to publish the detailed analysis of this title. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() For example, the titular Empire superficially seems like a traditional anachronistic space opera setting, drawing on elements of the Roman Empire. These different elements are blended together in a way which (like the recent comics series Saga, the first volume of which I recently reviewed) avoids dissonance and promotes originality. Banks, Vernor Vinge, Alasdair Reynolds, Stephen Baxter etc.) Setting-wise it blends dystopian/cyberpunk themes (a corrupt and oppressive regime with a dark secret, destructive ideological conflicts, class divisions, artificial intelligence) with elements that wouldn't be out of place in pulpier, more old-fashioned space opera (undeath-like immortality, mind-reading, a soldier with near-bullet-time reflexes, forbidden romance) or hi-tech military sci-fi. The Risen Empire falls squarely within the wave of intelligent "space opera" (contrasting with old-fashioned Star Wars style science-fantasy and stuff-blowing-up military sci-fi) that has been around for the last 2-3 decades.
