Orson Scott Card is the bestselling author of "Ender's Game." Aaron Johnston is a successful Hollywood screenwriter. The book is loosely based on an old short story of Card's, "Malpractice."
"""["Empire" is a] relentless thriller, which couldn't be timelier and is, for all its hyperactivity and flip, Hollywoodish one-liners, heartfelt and sobering. ...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" "[A] blistering read. Card plots hard-boiled action just as well as Tom Clancy, and layers in character detail and dialogue you'll never find in a Jack Ryan novel." --"Entertainment Weekly" on "Empire"
