A review by ghostmuppet
Mindstar Rising by Peter F. Hamilton
3.0
After enjoying my first Peter F Hamilton book - Great North Road, i thought i would try some more out.
This book reminded me of a futuristic version of Morse or Lewis - a detective working out whodunit - with extra PSI ability. This is not a bad thing as i really enjoyed those series. This changes a little part way through the book and turns into a hunter/prey piece.
OK, some of the techno babble was a little off putting, and a couple of the scenes were a little slow. Some characters were a bit weak/one dimensional.
The hardest part for me was the landscape (both physical and political). As i live in the UK, i knew a lot of the places, but of course it all sounded different.
The narrator (Toby Longworth) did a great job of portraying the main players in the book.
