A review by innocenthedgehog
Mindstar Rising by Peter F. Hamilton

2.0

This book should have been a four-star—the investigating, the setting (for the most part), the action scenes, everything I picked up the book for—but the constant sexism and right-wing politics make me want to shower in bleach for the next week. Also Greg going on a mental crusade against the antagonist for seducing a young girl, when the he does this in the literal first chapter with his psychic powers. He is also clearly sexually attracted to said Seventeen-Year-Old! girl throughout the book. He is in his late thirties. How did the author think this was in anyway a good idea?

And yet I will undoubtedly read more of PFH's books in the future. There are always a ton of good ideas I can borrow for my own sci-fi novels and do a better job with. Even if I hate myself for reading them afterwards.
