The Mecha Samurai Empireseries is an alternate-history science fiction book series written by American author Peter Tieryas.[1] The series centers around an alternate America, known as the United States of Japan, after the Nazis and Japanese Empire have emerged victorious in World War II.[2] The stories focus primarily on Asian communities since the war, depicting the struggles of survivors in a new authoritarian regime. The novels explore themes such as government propaganda and the blurring of fact and fiction.[3] Each book in the series is a standalone novel in the same shared universe, featuring different protagonists, antagonists, and conflicts. The series has been the recipient of several awards, twice receiving the Seiun Award for speculative fiction.[4] The first title in the series was published by Ace Books in 2016, with the latest title being released in 2020.[5][6]
