Worlds of the Imperium by Keith Laumer audiobook.

Genre: scifi

American diplomat Brion Bayard thinks he knows Stockholm well enough to spot trouble, but one shadowed street is all it takes to pull him out of his life and into a reality that should not exist. His captors are impeccably polite, unmistakably Imperial, and absolutely certain that Bayard has a role to play in a war spanning countless parallel Earths. In their world, the American Revolution never happened, London sits at the heart of a disciplined global Imperium, and a perilous cross-time drive has opened doors to alternate histories that should have stayed sealed. Now the Imperium is being struck by devastating raids from a savage sister-world, and the enemy's mastermind is a name Bayard cannot escape: Brion Bayard. Trained to infiltrate that shattered timeline by impersonating his own double, Bayard is thrust into a maze of competing loyalties, political maneuvering, and hard choices where duty and decency do not always point the same way. Fast, tense, and concept-driven, Worlds of the Imperium blends alternate history with dimension-hopping intrigue to ask what makes a man himself when every world offers a different answer.
