About this audiobook
Tony Webb writes speculative fiction that explores power, history, and the fragile systems societies are built upon.
His debut novel, The Unwilling Emperor, imagines an alternate Earth where the equator became the centre of civilisation and the colder regions of the world were left poor, divided, and forgotten. Blending dystopian science fiction with political thriller and murder mystery, his work explores race, class, empire, and the uncomfortable idea that history is often shaped more by geography and fortune than morality.
Influenced by writers such as Margaret Atwood and modern cinematic storytelling, he writes character-driven fiction with a strong visual style and believable worlds that feel unsettlingly close to reality.
