| Begun: Pandora's Star |
I've just started Peter F Hamilton's Pandora's Star. I'm not entirely sure why I own this huge doorstop of a science fiction book, except that Amazon's marketing told me to buy it with such monotonous regularity that it felt like fate: I haven't, after all, bought any SF since the book that I think is called Spin, bought maybe a year ago solely due to a post from Patrick Nielsen Hayden.
It's very large, but it's a very easy read. I'm not quite sure where it's going: there are two current storylines, one about an interplanetary terrorist and the agents who are trying to track him down, and the other - more interesting to my mind - about a pair of stars that have disappeared behind a force-field and the astronomer who's trying to figure out what happened. Neither of these seems quite adequate to fill out the whole of this tome and the part two that follows it. So I'm very much looking forward to finding out where he's taking the story. |
