Mindstar Rising by Peter F. Hamilton
5.0
Brilliantly paced book, can keep you hooked well into the night past your normal bedtime.
The distopian future it presents is really lightweight in terms of "wow" factor, which really makes it all the more real. The author does not dwell on it but it really helps build the overall picture and can really see it come into play and shape the actions of characters as well as the overall action of the book.
Not light but not excessively hard SF from the author of highly acclaimed space epics, a bit closer to home.
Definitely a read if you feel you need a classic scifi read, great actions and evolving characters and also how scary close we are to achieving the narative written almost two decades ago.
