Europe in Autumn
In a fractured near-future Europe, a chef named Rupert is drawn into the clandestine world of human smuggling. He navigates a continent divided by borders and secret organizations, where identities are fluid and allegiances are constantly tested. Rupert finds himself entangled in a dangerous game of espionage and survival, forcing him to confront the true cost of freedom and belonging.
This book is the first installment in the "Fractured Europe" series, introducing the world and characters that continue to develop across subsequent novels. While it tells a complete story within itself, the overarching narrative and character arcs extend beyond this volume.
Europe in Autumn establishes the "Fractured Europe" setting, a unique geopolitical landscape that Hutchinson further explores and expands upon in later books within the same series. Readers familiar with his other works will recognize his signature blend of espionage, political intrigue, and speculative fiction.
