Really strong classic science fiction, if that is your thing. Leans hard and space opera. I personally wasn't a fan of the protagonist, but it is more of a taste thing than a problem with the writing.

Interesting initial concept, but I lost the thread of the main plot by a third of the way through. I didn't think it a good sign that I had read over 200 pages and gotten to where I didn't know how what I was reading was supposed to be advancing the plot. Maybe there was something there, but I just couldn't do it I lost interest and patience, and was disappointed since this book had initially sounded promising.

Sorry, my apologies to the author and publisher for the lateness. This was a rip roaring novel filled to the rim with action, horror and so many ideas. I enjoyed the nod back to previous plot lines and cannot wait to read further adventures in this universe. Highly recommended.

I received this book in exchange for an honest review. This is a new subseries in the author's long-running Commonwealth space adventure series. While it stands alone, having the backstory from earlier volumes will increase appreciation. Recommended for fans of science fiction which features big wondrous ideas.

Peter Hamilton always astounds. Just when you think he has run out of options, he surprises with new twists and fresh ideas.
Fantastic read.
