Loading... The Nano Flowerby Peter F. Hamilton
   None No current Talk conversations about this book. It looks like Hamilton has learned to channel his tendency for extraneous details toward giving us incite into the physical and psychological backdrops of his future world. This is the best of the series, as he details world-power egotism, super-power mercenaries, a humanity threatening alien and the aging of our favorite characters. What I still don't like is the silly cover illustration by Barclay Shaw: a well drawn picture of two characters that resemble no one in the story--but like 2 teens posing for a futuristic paint ball game. (  ) majackson | Apr 25, 2021 |  Mijn favoriete space-opera’s. Goed geschreven, strakke plots, nooit gratuite en ook politiek en maatschappelijk gefundeerd. Heerlijk. (  ) GertDeBie | Mar 22, 2021 | Not sure what it was but this was a major step down from the prior book in the series. Perhaps its the borderline monster character or perhaps abandonment issues I have... Its a puzzle.. (  ) frfeni | Jan 31, 2021 | Not as good as the second one. While not bad in general, it was just on and off a bit confusing. (  ) gullevek | Dec 15, 2020 | The third Greg Mandel novel finds Hamilton straining the limits of his post-Warming, post socialist tyrany, hi-tech world of psychics and corporate espionage: suddenly we have an alien flower and visits to space. This is a thriller more in the vein of the first Mandel novel, Mindstar Rising, than the formal murder-mystery of the second. That's probably why I prefer the middle novel: Hamilton is at his best when writing detective stories. ( ) Arbieroo | Jul 17, 2020 | no reviews | add a review
Julia Evans, billionairess owner of Event Horizon, has for fifteen years been the power behind England?s economic renaissance - but now she?s in trouble. With her husband missing, and rival companies suddenly claiming to have acquired a technology impossibly superior to anything on Earth, she has no time to take notice of a single flower delivered anonymously. But this flower possesses genes millions of years in advance of any terrestrial DNA. Is it a cryptic alien message, or a poignant farewell token from her husband? One man might discover its origin - but Greg Mandel will not be alone in his desperate search. And, as they both now discover, simply being first in the race isn?t nearly good enough when the Nano Flower begins to bloom . . . "All the criteria of great SF.
