Readers felt it when they discovered Isaac Asimov's Foundation books, Jean Auel's Earth's Children books, Frank Herbert's Dune books. Now, discover perhaps the most fascinating and colorful alternative world ever created: David Wingrove's Chung Kuo. Chung Kuo is a vast epic of the future--a wondrous blend of the exotic flavours of ancient China and the high-tech shine of cutting-edge futurism. In David Wingrove's vision of the distant future, the Chinese long ago took over the world and set out to attain "The peace of Ten Thousand Years" based on the tenets of New Confucianism. The seven ruling T'ang, or "Kings", rule the seven great cities by the traditional Chinese idea that peace is attained through strict order and stability. But many believe that their stability is a stagnating tyranny. One small group of European elite--calling themselves "Dispersionists"--begin a campaign to bring change into the world of Chung Kuo, and live out their deep-rooted Western need for progress. Chung Kuo is the epic story of this "War of Two Directions"--a grand conflict between the Western idea of progress and the Eastern belief in stability. In its pages we follow the fortunes of four young men from all walks of Chung Kuo society--from the son of a T'ang to a slave born in the rubble beneath the city's foundations--and it is their strengths, dreams, passions, and struggles that move this remarkable work to its stunning conclusion, and ultimately change the course of humankind. Chung Kuo: The Middle Kingdom is the first in a seven-volume cycle of novels that tells the entire story of the world of Chung Kuo and the War of Two Directions. David Wingrove is the co-author (with Brian Aldiss) of the Hugo Award-winning nonfiction work Trillion Year Spree. He lives in North London with his wife, Susan, and his daughters, Jessica and Amy. He has been working for the past six years on the Chung Kuo novels. The Middle Kingdom is his first work of fiction.
