(10) M.R. CAREY –

PANDOMINION SERIES (2023-2025)

“The Pandominion: a political and trading alliance of a million worlds – except that they’re really just the one world, Earth, in many different realities.”

They don’t mess around either – when a scientist on one of those Earths, closely resembling our own, invents her own dimension-hopping technology and blunders into Pandominion space, or when the Pandominion itself blunders into a machine version of itself, threatening mutually assured multiverse destruction.

I love a good space opera – and the Pandominion goes above and beyond that, across Earths in infinite dimensions.

The series proper is two books, Infinity Gate and Echo of Worlds, with a third standalone novel in the same setting, Outlaw Planet published in 2025, hence my tenth place wildcard entry for best of 2025.

RATING:

X-TIER (WILD TIER) – BEST OF 2025
