Mindstar Rising by Peter F. Hamilton

3.0

I dont really have anything new to say about Peter Hamilton's first novel. I agree with the consensus here. He had some good ideas and the concept behind this Mindstar regiment, and Greg and Gabriel's leftover powers were very intriguing indeed. The plot was pretty basic by the numbers espionage.

Like many others the female characters largely put me off. Greg seduces young women, and casts objectifying eyes over every single women he encounters. It isn't played as objectionable at all, I think we are meant to find Greg very much the relatable lead.

I prefer the Void trilogy but I'll likely finish off this series too.
