Uchronie(s) New Beijing #3

Part three of Corbeyran and Aurélien Morinière's alternate-history series finds two stern figures in red Mao-style jackets — one standing, one seated — surrounded by stacked copies of what appears to be the Little Red Book, all set against a library of dark, looming shelves. Richard Guérineau's cover art carries a quietly oppressive weight, the sea of identical red volumes suggesting a world where ideological conformity reaches into every corner. If the first two installments of Uchronie(s) — New Beijing drew you in, this 2016 Daedalus edition looks ready to push the tension even further.
