A review by the_smoking_gnu
Nova War by Gary Gibson

2.0

2,5 stars
Gary Gibson has watched "Star Wars" [Exogorth] and "Flight of the Navigator" / "The Last Starfighter".
There is still too much torture and blackmail in this sequel.
I didn't like the return of a supposedly dead antagonist from the previous book.
For a space opera the world of the book is still rather small.
The books is a sequence of scenes in which one character forces another character to do something she / he doesn't want to do.
The end of the book reminded of the Peter F Hamilton's Night's Dawn trilogy,
when Joshua Calvert goes on a mission to a far off system to discover a god like entity.
