Imperium

American Brion Bayard is abducted on the streets of Stockholm, and thrustinto what he believes is a truck. He’s relieved to find his captors very

apologetic, and very British — that is, until they begin speaking

about nations of which Bayard has never heard. His captors were from Earth, yes.

But not his Earth. Turns out that there are countess parallel Earths,

each different, where history has taken every possible turn — and there

are even more uninhabitable worlds, destroyed by the misuse of cross-time

travel. Bayard discovers that the Earth he has now been thrust into, the

Earth of the Imperium, is at war with a dangerously aggressive parallel Earth

that has taken a wrong turn somewhere in time and whose ruler is... a parallel

version of Bayard himself! Now Bayard’s mission is clear: to prevent his

alternate self from destroying the new plane of reality that he now calls home,

the Imperium.
