Book description
Cowboy Angels by Paul McAuley gallops through the multiverse with the grit of a frontier saga and the shimmer of speculative brilliance. Narrated with crisp authority, this audiobook plunges listeners into a kaleidoscope of alternate Americas, each shaped by the collision of empire and ideology. McAuley, a master of hard science fiction, weaves biotechnology and nanotech into a narrative that feels both grounded and boundless.
The story kicks off in 1963, when the first Turing gate cracks open a doorway to infinite possibility. From there, the Real-an America armed with truth and firepower-launches its crusade across histories: rebuilding the broken, toppling tyrants, stitching together a Pan-American Alliance. But when Jimmy Carter shifts course toward peace, the empire falters, and old ghosts stir.
Enter Adam Stone, a former Cowboy Angel-a shadow operator in otherworld wars-drawn back into the fray after a deadly vendetta erupts across timelines. What begins as vengeance spirals into revelation, unearthing a conspiracy that threatens every version of America, including our own.
McAuley's prose is taut yet lyrical, his pacing relentless. The audiobook format amplifies the tension, each alternate world rendered with vivid immediacy. Stone's journey becomes a meditation on destiny, dissent, and the weight of a single choice in an infinite sea of outcomes. This is science fiction at its most audacious-equal parts thriller, philosophy, and frontier myth. A stunning ride through the ever-shifting landscape of what might have been.
