peter_xxx 's review for:
Pandora's Star
by Peter F. Hamilton
This is the second book I read from Peter Hamilton. I gave the first one I read, fallen dragon, also 4 stars but that book was a little bit better than this one. And mainly because that was about 800 pages and the story had a conclussion, while this book has almost a 1000 pages and has no ending. The whole book feels like a setup for the next book.
Don't get me wrong. It was still a very good read, with lots of interesting characters, thrilling actionscenes and very entertaining futuretech. The story opens with the marslanding that is disturbed by two students who invented some machine to use wormholes to travel through space. And the story meanders from there. It involves mysterious aliens, police investigations lasting over 100 years etc...
One of the great things in this book is the alieness of the aliens. When you're looking through their eyes you get a very non human logic.
I would say try this out but remember that this is only half a story and the next novel has an even bigger pagecount
