Ilustration Conducive To Books Great North Road

In Newcastle-upon-Tyne, AD 2142, Detective Sidney Hurst attends a brutal murder scene. The victim is one of the wealthy North family clones – but none have been reported missing. And the crime’s most disturbing aspect is how the victim was killed. Twenty years ago, a North clone billionaire and his household were horrifically murdered in exactly the same manner, on the tropical planet of St Libra. But if the murderer is still at large, was Angela Tramelo wrongly convicted? Tough and confident, she never waivered under interrogation – claiming she alone survived an alien attack. But there is no animal life on St Libra. Investigating this alien threat becomes the Human Defence Agency’s top priority. The bio-fuel flowing from St Libra is the lifeblood of Earth’s economy and must be secured. So a vast expedition is mounted via the Newcastle gateway, and teams of engineers, support personnel and xenobiologists are dispatched to the planet. Along with their technical advisor, grudgingly released from prison, Angela Tramelo. But the expedition is cut off, deep within St Libra’s rainforests. Then the murders begin. Someone or something is picking off the team one by one. Angela insists it’s the alien, but her new colleagues aren’t so sure. Maybe she did see an alien, or maybe she has other reasons for being on St Libra ...
This is a stunning standalone adventure, by a writer at the height of his powers.

Judge Appertaining To Books Great North Road

Most of this 1,086-page book seems to be cobbled together for volume quite a few of the events are illogical and a considerable part of the activity is entirely unnecessary and irrelevant. There are sentences that are missing words and questions that are lacking logic. This text has not seen the hand of an editor and I doubt the author himself read the manuscript after finishing it.Some of the characters could even be potentially interesting and engaging, if theyd been given 96% more substance.



A decent story muddled with far too much technobabble. The story drives itself along well but it seems like once one of the subplots gets intense or interesting it will take a long vacation while the book switches to a subplot. This leads to a constant ramp up then slow release of tension and it gets kind of frustrating. Most of the characters stay very flat and undynamic until they suddenly snap into a new role without much reason to do so. The "twists" if you can call them that are also way

This was fun! I think I like this Hamilton book better than Pandora's Star/ Judas Unchained mainly because of a more reasonable length (treating the two other books as one) and also the amount of characters that got introduced during the whole book was far more manageable and attaching than in the other. A great murder-mystery meets science fiction with its best: smart cells, cloning and rejuvenation...just what I like. It's complex and the characters are interesting. The only thing that makes

I'd like to start by stating that I'm a huge fan of Peter F. Hamilton. His Pandora's Star and Night Dawn Trilogy is hands down my favorite space operas. Hence, I'm a bit biased when it comes to this book. I knew I'm going to like it even before I started reading it. However, even I was surprised how different this book is from anything else I read by Hamilton. Great North Road reads like a true mystery novel even though it takes place over a hundred years into the future. It's really nothing

imagine a 13-year-old boy genius. he loves science fiction, he loves world-building, he loves physics and biology and all the sciences. he also loves his family and he definitely loves girls. he loves binge-watching exciting tv shows. he's open-minded and appreciates diversity. overall this is a great kid and I'd be happy to know him. now imagine if this boy genius were to write a book. what would it be full of?it would be full of GEE WHIZ EXCITEMENT of course! and spaceships! and alien threats!

Peter F. Hamilton irritates me and annoys me in many ways, but he has some damn good ideas and puts together some mighty fine stories.The Good: Great SF ideas, great SF settings, and characters I grow to love.The Bad: Way too long, and some really unnecessary explicit sex scenes.The Ugly: As in his other books, the women are always really hot, look 17 even when they're not, and are very horny. I don't think a fat, middle-aged woman has ever made an appearance in any Hamilton book I've read.
